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

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

I love you PTU TUTORIAL

This tutorial was written by me on Feb 11, 2015 using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work.
Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence.

SUPPLIES:

I used the artwork of Verymany. Tube can be purchased - HERE. 
You must purchase a license to be able to use their tubes.
I used PTU kit Forever Love from Inzpired Creationz. You can buy it - HERE.
I used Mask from Dee at Dangerously Delicious. 
DD_VMask_2 which can be downloaded - HERE.
Fonts - I used Good Karma demo, and Notalot25 for credits. www.dafont.com
Brush (right click and save as):

Open new canvas 450x450.
Take Ribbon_2 element from the kit, resize it as on image below:

Open up tube file, select close up layer, HOLD CTRL+T and reduce close up as follows:

Once done, move close up layer on canvas we are working on, place it below ribbon 
layer inside the frame. Like on image below.
Click on MAGIC WAND TOOL, make sure ribbon layer is selected and select area inside the frame.
Hold SHIFT and select area inside the bow.

Now SELECT  close up tube layer, move cursor over selected area 
- RIGHT CLICK > LAYER VIA COPY. Delete original close up layer.
Now you should have face inside the frame.

Make sure close up tube layer is selected - should be called LAYER 1, 
go to IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > HUE/SATURATION
Apply settings like on image below:


Duplicate LAYER 1, it should be called LAYER 1 COPY.
Apply BLEDING OPTIONS ON SOFT LIGHT.

Select one more time LAYER 1, go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.

Apply DROP SHADOW on Ribbon_2 element:
OPACITY - 50%
DISTANCE - 11
SIZE - 10

Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN Ribbon_2 element.

Take Ribbon_1 element from the kit.

Place it on the canvas and apply settings below:

Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN Ribbon_1 element.
Place it at the end of layer palette. 
Delete part of the ribbon in left corner as we don't need that.

Apply same shadow settings as on Ribbon_2 element.

Add Rose_1 element, reduce it to H: W: 70%
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Apply same shadow settings as on Ribbon_2 element.

Add Tag_2 element, leave size as it is.

Place it as shown on the tag.

Add Diamond_1 above Wordart_4 layer. Leave size as it is.
Go to FILTERS> SHARPEN >SHARPEN.
Apply same shadow settings as on Tag_2 element.

Now add mask, I used Paper_6 from the kit. 
If you don't know to how to apply/add mask on PS 6, check my other tutorials,
every step is expained there. I am gonna skip this step on this one tutorial.

Once you make a mask and place it on the tag, use settings as shown below:

PLACE MASK AS LAST LAYER ON LAYER PALETTE.
On the very bottom.

Add brush I supplied to you on canvas. Place it above mask layer.
Add Sparkles_3 element on it as well. Resize it.

Glam Glitz PTU tutorial


This tutorial was written by me on February 2, 2015 using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence.

SUPPLIES:

I used the artwork of Gennadiy Koufay. 
Gennadiy Koufay has retired from PSP community. 
His tubes aren't available for purchase anymore.
I used PTU kit called Glitz from Inzpired Creationz. You can buy it - HERE. 
I used Mask from Vix. Vix_Mask365 which can be downloaded - HERE.
Fonts - Bank Gothic and Notalot25 for credits.

Open new canvas W: 700 H: 600

Place GLAM wordart I gave you as show on the tag. 
Take PAPER_3 from the kit and place it above GLAM WA. Resize it to match the GLAM WA.
Right click on the  PAPER_3 layer > CREATE CLIPPING MASK.
Set adjustments on paper as shown below:


Open tube. Place her on the wordart as shown on the tag. 
Tube is a bit bigger so we shall reduce her size.
Hold CTRL+T, now as you can see tube is selected, hold SHIFT and move from 
outside to inside any of the corner with your cursor. Just for a bit.
Tube now should be smaller.

Make sure tube layer is selected. Go to FILTER> ARTISTIC> PAINT DOUBS 
Match settings as shown below:
Add DROP SHADOW on tube : 

Open new canvas - 600x600.
Take Cityscape_1 element from the kit, place it on new canvas and resize it. 
Same way as we did with the tube but this time move cursor from INSIDE > OUT. 
Use my tag as guidance to match the size of the element. Once you place it, duplicate Cityscape_1 element
RIGHT CLICK ON LAYER > DUPLICATE

Move duplicated layer up, like on image below:
( I used white stroke for example, to show line between two elements, do not add it on yours elements)
Once you placed elements like on image above, 
SELECT ERASER TOOL > SELECT SOFT ROUND PRESSURE SIZE BRUSH
Any size will work, I used size 50.

Now we are merging two elements into one, using eraser tool.
Delete bottom of the duplicated layer, this shadowed/ black area on the bottom of the buildings.
You should have something like this:


Now select both layers holding SHIFT key.
RIGHT CLICK > MERGE LAYERS.

Now move finished element on the canvas where we started making tag .
Place cityscape element behind GLAM WA. In the middle.

Select cityscape element. Go to FILTER> ARTISTIC> PAINT DOUBS.
Apply same settings as we used on the tube.

Add drop shadow:
Add rest of the elements on the tag.
Use my tag as guidance.
I applied PAINT DOUBS effect on each element, using same settings as on tube and cityscape.
DROP SHADOW > DISTANCE - 5 > SPREAD - 0 > SIZE - 5
OPACITY - 50%
Once done with placement of elements, place GLITZ WA on the bottom of tag.
Make sure this wordart is above all elements and tube.
Grab GLAM2 wordart, place it on the top of tag, as on my tag.
Make sure that wordart is behind all elements.

Now add mask on the tag. Open your mask. 
Mask layer will be called 'Background' and will be locked. 
Double click on same layer, press OK.
Add a new layer above it and flood fill with color of choice, or use a paper from kit.
 I used PAPER_10.
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. 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. 

Okay.

Add your name, I used BANK GOTHIC font in yellow color, #dea62b
Add stroke in white color, SIZE: 2
FONT SIZE : 36
OUTER GLOW > COLOR: #c4803b 

Add your copyright information and that is it! I hope you enjoyed and found this tutorial useful.
