MINITWO Tut

This tutorial was written by me on May 1st 2020. The results are of my own imagination.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.  

Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.

This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

I write the tutorial as I am creating it so the layer order is probably wrong, but resize percentages are correct.

Please look at the finished tag when in doubt of order or placement.

Supplies needed

I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.

PTU Tube:  I am using a beautiful tube by Misticheskaya.  Please do not use this tubes without a proper license.  

You can purchase this tube at Pics For Design HERE

FTU Kit:  I am using a beautiful kit called "Mini Two" created by Karmalized Scraps.  You can download the kit from her blog HERE.

Mask:  Nae Mask 1.  You can grab it HERE.  Open and minimize in PSP.  

Font of choice for you name.

Plug in: Xero Bad Dream, Mura Meisters Copies and Eyecandy Perspective Shadow.

Let's get started.

New transparent canvas 750 x 750 pixels.

New Raster layer and flood fill white.

New raster layer and select all, paste Paper 3 into selection. Deselect.

Apply Mask and merge group. Center in canvas and resize 95%.

Paste Frame 1, resize 35%. Rotate right 90 degrees and move up a bit.

Magic wand select inside the frame and expand by 5 pixels. New layer under frame and paste Paper 4 into selection. Do not deselect.

Paste your tube as a new layer and resize 85% . Position the face on the left of the frame, promote selection to layer and delete the tube layer.

By doing it this way you dont have any hideen pixels outside the canvas which can leave a shadow when you drop shadow.

I applied Xero Bad Dream (default settings) to my tube inside the frame and changed the layer Luminance.

Duplicate the frame back layer (Paper 4) and move above the tube layer. Change to Multiply.

I added my main tube above the frame and resized 28% and mirrored (H),sharpen, position.

Below the frame background layer:-

Paste Element 18 above mask layer, move to the left a touch. Duplicate and mirror (H), mirror (V) and move up a bit.

Paste Element 30 above mask layer resized 60% and moved to the left. Duplicate and mirror (H), Duplicate and rotate 90 left and move to the top. 

Duplicate again and mirror (vertical), position.

Paste Element 13 resized 25%, position.

Above the frame:-

Paste Element 8 resize 35% , move to the left bottom.

Paste Element 27 resize 35% and rotated right 5 degrees, adjust sharpness, position.

Paste Element 20 resize 30% and positioned to the right. Duplicate, resize 85% and move above bottom purple flower.Duplicate and resize 50%, sharpen, position.

Paste Element 17 resize 22% and moved to the right. Duplicate and place behind largest purple flower.

Paste Element 4 resize 18% and move into position.

Paste Element 12 resize 15%, mirrored (H) and moved under the yellow jar layer to the left.

Paste Element 28 resize 20% mirrored (H) and positioned in front of jar.

Paste Element 9 resize 25% and move into position.

Paste Element 6 resize 20% position. Duplicate, mirror (H) and position.

At this stage I wanted more at the back of the tag so I did this:-

Frame 2 and resized 25%. Then I applied Mura Meisters Encircle.

Move to just above the mask layer.

Above main tube:-

Paste Element 5 resize 21% and move into position.

Paste Element 10 resize 10%, position. Duplicate and change colour to purple,resize 80% and mirror. position.

Paste Wordart resize 20% and change the colour of the word art to #f8cc29. 

Select and float the word art and expand by 2, new raster layer under the word art and flood fill with #8161bb

Add noise to the word art Gaussian 20% mono. and merge these 2 layers together. Resize 90% , sharpen and position.

Add elements as wanted. 

At this point I wasn't happy with the mask sticking out the bottom so I used my pick tool and readjusted the mask.

After readjustment I duplicated the mask and mirrored (H)

I added Eyecandy Perspective Shadow shadow to all layers.

Add the copyright and your name. Close off the white background layer and save as a png.

I also save the PSP version, so I can add names or change the tag.
