PTU - Metallic Waiting

29/4/2013

This tutorial was written April 29th, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
It’s assumed that you have working knowledge on how to resize and working with layers.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.

The supplies you need:
Any tube you decide on. I’m a gorgeous tube by Tony Mauro at My Tubed Art.
I also used a PTU kit called “Metallica” by CBJ. This kit is sold exclusively at Zindy-Zone.
Materials you need:
A masks of choice. I used “Mask34" by Sophisticat Simone.
A font that you like. I used “KG Empire of Dirt”.
Eye Candy 6 - Perspective Shadow
MuraMeister - Copies
Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow (Optional)

My settings for drop shadow: 3, 3, 70, 8, Black.

Make a new canvas, 700 x 700 pixels.
Paste Tripleframe as a new layer. Resize it down to 60% and rotate it 90 degrees to the left.
Paste your tube above the frame layer. Duplicate the tube layer and place one layer underneath the frame.
Add Perspective shadow to the bottom tube layer using the Blurry setting and this:
Picture
On the top layer, erase her hand and the part of the arm where the frame is. See my tag for reference.
Also make sure that you erase any part of the tube that is sticking out below that frame.
We want her to pop out of the frame.
With your Magic Wand active, click inside all the 3 frames.Expand the selection by 5 and Invert.
Paste a paper below the frame. I used Paper6. Hit Delete and select none.

Add a drop shadow to the frame, hide the bottom layer (if you have a white background) and merge visible.

Paste Flower below the frame. Resize it to 50%.Place it a little to the left.
Paste GemFloral below the flower. Resize it to 60%, mirror and place it towards the right side.
Paste Ribbon2 above the frame layer. Resize it to 50% and place it at the bottom left. Duplicate, mirror, flip
and place it at the bottom right. We'll move them both in place in a sec.
Paste MetalHeart above the ribbons and resize it down to 50%. Move the ribbons a bi so they follow the MetalHeart.
See my tag for reference.
Paste ChromeFlower as the top layer. Go to MuraMeister - Copies and add these settings:
Picture
Move this layer below the GemFloral.
Go to the top ribbon layer and paste Flower2. Resize it to 50% and flip it. Place it on the right
side of the frame. See my tag for reference.

Paste CharmBow2 and resize it down to 40%. Place at the bottom left.
Paste Butterfly3 and resize it to 40%. Rotate it 20 degrees to the left.
Go to Adjust - Sharpness and choose Sharpen.

Add a drop shadow to all the layers, except the frame layer.
Crop your tag with Merge Opaque.
Go to the bottom layer and add a new raster. Select All and paste a paper into the selection. I used Paper5.
Select none.
Add your mask and merge group. You can look at the tutorial on how to do it HERE.
Duplicate the mask layer 3 times and merge the mask layers together.

Activate your Text Tool and write your name or a saying. Convert to raster.
If you want to, you can pick a colour from the tag ( I chose a dark yellow) and add a Gradient Glow to the name with the Fat setting:
Picture
(The colours in the screenshot is from another tutorial)

Add a drop shadow to the name.
Resize your tag. I resized mine to 500px on the longest side.
Add your copyright info and save as png or jpg.

Thanks for trying!
Hugs Lithy
