Tangled PTU Tutorial




This tutorial was written by me, any resemblance to any other tutorial is completely unintentional. 
PSP version used: PSP X2

Supplies: 
Tube- I'm using an awesome artwork tube of Elias Chatzoudis, you can purchase that and his other artwork at PSP Tubes Emporium
Scrap Kit of choice- I used the kit Tangled- which is a PTU kit from Melissa's Inspirational Scraps, which I CT for! You can find that and her other fabby kits HERE!
Font-  Witched FTU

Filters- Xero> Porcelain
                   dsb flux> Bright Noise
Eye Candy 4000> Gradient Glow


Okay let's get started! 
Open up a new image 600 x 600. 
Open up Frame 6, resize 70% Copy and paste. 
Resize tube as needed, copy and paste. 
Open paper 2, resize 80, copy and paste. Magic wand on the inside of the frame. 
Selections> Modify> Expand 10. Invert. Click on paper layer, delete. 
Carriage, resize 60%, copy and paste. Erase, the horses reins. 
Castle, resize 80%, copy and paste.
Stone Path1, resize 70%, copy and paste. 
Vines2, resize 70%, copy and paste, erase extra that is over the frame on the bottom, to make it look like it's growing out of the frame. :) 
Tiara, resize 30%, copy and paste. 
Butterfly2, resize 15%, copy and paste. 
Lizard 1, resize 20%, copy and paste, position on the tower. 
Doodle, resize 60%, copy and paste behind everything. 
Flower 3, resize 15%, copy and paste. Duplicate twice, so you have 3 of the same layer. Position on the vine, and mirror one of the layers. 
Flowers3, resize 10%, copy and paste. 
Flowers 5, resize 30%, copy and paste, position behind the tower. 
Sparkle 2, copy and paste.
Now go back to your tube. Apply Xero> Porcelain, with these settings: 



Now for the font- I used Witched, it's a FTU font. 
I used size 140, with the Foreground #c000c0 and BG #ffec27, and made the foreground Null for now. 
Put your name with the BG color on only, and convert to raster layer. 
Apply dsb flux> Bright Noise- Mix, 50. Do this 4 times. 
Layers> New Raster Layer. position behind the font layer. 
Go back to font layer. 
Selections> Select All, float. 
Selections> Modify> Expand, 2.
Bucket Fill the blank layer inside the selected area. 
Selections> Select None. 
Merge the font layer down onto the bucket fill layer. 
Use the filter Eye Candy 4000 with the these settings, leave the original color:



Drop Shadow. 

Now add your copyright and license info, and 

POOF!!!!! 

You're done!
