PTU Tut ~ Travellin' Emo Style

Add caption

My new tutorial, written assuming you have a basic knowledge of PSP.

Tutorials dont need to be copied word for word, you can use different elements and place them where you like. You can recolour elements, if the kit designer allows this.  Be creative, use a tutorial as a reference but its good to "make it your own".

You will need:

PSP - I used 9, but any version will do.

A tube of choice, I used art by Lady Mishka which can be bought from PTE

Mask 17 by Vaybs, which can be found here

The scrapkit I used is by Conchi of DNscraps.

The kit is called Obsessions and can be purchased from Butterfly Blush Designs

Font of Choice - I used AL Hurried Note, which can be downloaded from Fonts101

Eyecandy (any version) - gradient glow to add to name

Conchi allows recolouring of this kit, I have recoloured the heartframe 2, hearts4 element and the paper to suit my tube

Lets get started

Open a new image 650 x 650, floodfill white

Copy & Paste heartframe 2

Resize 70% and sharpen

Open the hearts4 element, mirror, copy & paste as a new layer underneath the frame layer

On the frame layer, Use the lasoo tool (freehand selection tool) set on Point to Point & click around the edges of the frame

Right click on the layer and promote selection to layer

Go to the heart4 element layer, right click and promote selection to layer

Deselect & delete the original heart4 layer, carefully erase any bits you may have showing under the frame

Copy & paste your chosen tube, and the motorbike element ~ place to your liking

Duplicate the tube & move that layer above the motorbike

On the top tube layer erase one leg, so it looks as if she's straddling the bike

Add any other elements you wish from this fab kit, resizing as necessary

Add a dropshadow of 2, -2, 30, 4 to all layers except the tube layer & the motorbike layer

Use dropshadow of 1, -8, 30, 4 to the bottom tube layer

Use dropshadow of 2, -2, 30, 4 on the motorbike layer twice

On the second dropshadow layer, use the raster deform tool and bring the top of shadow down

Manoeuvre it so you can see a shadow of the frame (see my tag for reference)

Go back down to the bottom layer, copy & paste a paper of choice

Layers, new mask layer and find the DBV 17 mask in the dropdown list

Apply with the luminence and invert boxes checked

Resize the mask layer to 110

Add your name and any text you want, adding a gradient glow and dropshadow

Delete the white background layer and merge all layers visible

If you need to resize your tag, do it now.

Add the correct copyright and your license number, if using ptu artwork

Save as a png image

Thats it, you're done !

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, I'd love to see any of your creations
