CT PTU TUTORIAL - Lindsay

*This tutorial is written by me using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work.

Any similarity to any other tut is coincidental.*

Supplies:

Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Verymany.

You must purchase a license to be able to use their work.

You may do that at VMT store.

Kit of choice. I'm using PTU kit ScrapCD_IB-Enamorte-33-1

by Chichi Designz. You can find at CDO store.

Mask of choice - Mask 64 MB and SW

Font of choice - Rege Italic

Let's get started...

Open new canvas 600x600.

From the kit past Frame3, resize and place it in the center.

Add Drop Shadow as showen:

Click on the Background layer. Then past Frame2, no shadow. On it

add Element19, shadow. Now add Paper1, but remove all so only inside

of frame circle is filled. Click again on the first layer, Frame3.

Past 2 copies of Element16, one on the lef and one on the right frame

side, with shadow on both. On the frame left bottom side add Element9

with shadow. On it place Element8, shadow. Now add full size tube,

resize and place on the frame. As showen on my tag, use Eraser Tool

to remove tubes other half. Then make a tube copy layer. On the original

tube layer add filter Paint Daubs and shadow:

Then for the tube copy layer add filter Gaussian Blur:

And add those setting for the copy layer as well:

Now at the bottom right side place Element9 with shadow. On it add

Element11, shadow. Cover the tube bottom with Element26, shadow.

On it place Element21, Element5 and Element13, shadow on all.

Now let's add mask:

Open your mask as new image.

Mask layer will be called 'Background' and will be locked.

Double click on same layer, press OK. Layer name will be 'Layer 0'.

Add a new layer above it and flood fill with color of choice,

or use a paper from kit. I use Paper 2.

But I added Color Overlay on the paper. Just to make it bit

more pink. Used color #a51a58 with Opacity on 25%.

Click on mask layer and hold CTRL+A to Select All, CTRL+C to Copy.

Click on the paper layer, hit Q to turn on Quick Mask mode.

CTRL+V to paste the mask. It should now be kinda red.

Hit Q to turn off Quick Mask mode

and there should be shown selection on your canvas.

Hit the Add Layer Mask.

On paper layer, right click and Convert to Smart Object.

Right click again and Rasterize Layer.

Drag completed mask to your tag canvas as the bottom layer.

Resize it if needed.

Add proper copyright and your name on tag.

Hide or delete bottom 'Background' layer. And save your tag as .PNG file.

That's it! Thank you for reading. I would love to see any tags made with this tutorial. You can past the link here as comment or send them to me on al3x_v@ymail.com
