Lets Go !!!!

 

Part 1
 

First look for tubes that you would like to use and
see if you can recolor the scrapkit's materials to go with it before you start.


Open a New Image : 700 x 600 pixels and Floodfill with White.

Copy MSG - Heavy Pink - Paper 3.jpg and Paste as a New Layer.
Image --> Resize --> 80% all Layers NOT ticked.

Copy MSG - Heavy Pink - Paper 5.jpg and Paste as a New Layer.
Image --> Resize --> 50% all Layers NOT ticked.
Image --> Resize --> 75% all Layers NOT ticked.

Selections --> Select All
Selections --> Float
Selections --> Defloat

Selections --> Modify --> Select Selection Borders : Inside, Anti Alias, Border width 2
Floodfill with the color #000000 = Black

Move it to the left top - see example.

Floodfill with the color #000000 = Black
Selections --> Select None.
Move it to the right bottom corner - see example.


Part 2

Activate the Selection Tool - Rectangle
Custom Selection : Top 50, Left 100, Right 400, Bottom 450
Layers - New Raster Layer !!!!!!
Floodfill with a color that goes with your tubes.
I used #871f59 to go with my tubes.

Leave selection as it is !!!!!!

Copy your tube and Paste as a New Layer.
Move it so that it fits nicely into the selection.
If the tube is too big, resize it first before you copy and paste it !!!!!!
Selections --> Invert --> Delete.
Selections --> Invert again !!!

Selections --> Modify --> Select Selection Borders --> Same setting as before.
Floodfill the border with #000000 = Black
Selections --> Select None.
Layers --> Merge --> Merge Down.

Your tube, the background and the black border became one layer.
Image - Free Rotate --> Right = 15 degrees and All Layers NOT ticked.
Move the image to the right as per example.

Now we are going to do the next image

Activate the Selection Tool - Rectangle
Custom Selection : Top 50, Left 100, Right 400, Bottom 450
Layers --> New Raster Layer !!!!!!
Floodfill with a color that goes with your tubes.
I used #871f59 to go with my tubes.


Leave selection as it is !!!!!!

Copy your tube and Paste as a New Layer.
Move it so that it fits nicely into the selection.
If the tube is too big, resize it first before you copy and paste it !!!!!!
Selections --> Invert --> Delete.
Selections --> Invert again !!!

Selections --> Modify --> Select Selection Borders --> Same setting as before.
Floodfill the border with #000000 = Black
Selections --> Select None.
Layers --> Merge --> Merge Down.

Your tube, the background and the black border became one layer.
Image - Free Rotate --> Left = 15 degrees and All Layers NOT ticked.
Move the image to the left as per example.


Part 3

Copy and Paste the paperclip (MSG - Heavy Pink - paperclip.png),
Resize with 85% --> All Layers NOT ticked
Image - Free Rotate --> Left = 15 degrees and All Layers NOT ticked.
Move it to the left and place --> see example.
Activate the Freehand Selection Tool and delete part of the paperclip
so that it gives the effect as if the photo is clipped to the background --> see example.

You can do the same with the image on the right, but rotate the paperclip to the right then.
Here you can also delete part of the paperclip so that it can give the effect
as if the photo are clipped to the background.

Close the White Background layer by clicking on the eye in the Layer Palette.
Merge Layers Visible.
Resize the Layer with 85% all layers NOT ticked.
Unlock the white background layer by clicking on the eye in the Layer Palette.


Now we are going to decorate the tag with embellishments from the Scrapkit.
This I leave over to your imagination and feel free to use my example,
but you can also go your own way.


Part 4


When you are finished with decorating, activate the bottom white layer.
Selections --> Select All
Copy MSG - Heavy Pink - Paper 2.jpg and Paste as a New Layer
Image --> Crop to Selection
Selections --> Select None.

Layers --> Load/Save Mask --> Load Mask from Disk --> look for Becky_Mask022.
Tick all the top settings : Source Luminance --> Fit to Canvas --> Hide all Mask
Invert transparency is NOT ticked.
Click on Load
Layers --> Merge --> Merge Group.
Copy Doodle for tutorial.png and paste it as a New Layer on top of the mask layer.

Apply a Drop Shadow to all the layers of the tag (except the mask and the doodle layers)
with the following settings : 0 0 80 10 #000000 = Black

Add your name and/or watermark to your creations,
and do not forget to add the copyright details and artist name.
