Tutorial written by Kissing Kate on 18th April 2014
This tutorial is my own original work and any similarities with any other tutorial are coincidental and unintentional.
Anyone with a good basic working knowledge of PS CS5 should be able to follow this tutorial. Please feel free to get creative when following this tutorial, it is for guidance only!
Please do not claim this tutorial as your own. Anyone is welcome to use it and I would love to see your results. If you would like to share it in a group please link back to my blog.
Supplies Used
Tube: Violette by Verymany
Kit: Springtime in Paris
Mask: One of my star masks
Font: Travelling Typewriter
Let’s get started!!!!!
Open up a new image 650x650 and fill it white so you can see what you are doing. Call this your background layer!
Open up the tube in a new tab and choose the layers you want to use - merge together, select, copy and paste onto blank image.
Now make a new layer below the tube layer but above the background layer. In this layer add frame 4 to the left hand side of the tube - resize so its smaller than it opens up as. Add another layer below the frame and add paper 6 so it fits in the space of the frame. Now paste the tube and right click on this layer to apply a clipping mask so the tube fits to the paper. Now go apply some texture in blending modes and set the blend mode to hard light.. it gives this layer a nice glow. You now need to do the same again - from frame, to tube, to clipping mask, to blend mode on the right hand side (don't forget to rotate the tube before pasting to the paper though).
Now you need to go back to the layers behind the papers, right above your background layer (sorry for all the movement lol) - here you need to add element 37 (the easel) over to the right hand side.
Before we start adding elements we can add the mask so again add a new layer above the background layer.
Use your chosen mask with paper 10
Above this layer add the following elements as shown on the tag or wherever you may choose:
element 6
element 26
element 37
element 49
element 58
Now we need to go back up to the layer above the frames and we are going to place elements, clustering them together, giving each elements a drop shadow to add depth and interest. Place the following elements or choose your own as seen on the tag:
element 2
element 10
element 11
element 26
element 33
element 34
element 47
element 52
element 81
element 83
element 91
element 92
Now go to your main tube layer again and duplicate it, on the upper duplicated tube layer go into blending options and choose hard light blend mode ..again giving your tube some interesting light.
Now we will add more elements above/in front of the tube layer, carefully placing them where they fit best. Again you can follow my lead or choose your own elements. i used:
element 5
element 6
element 12
element 19
element 29
element 34
element 45
element 71
I used some wordart on the next layer - use your own choice or make your own
Add name
Add copyright
And there you are - all done!!

On Saturday, March 22, 2014, at 10:37 a.m. local time, a major mudslide occurred 4 miles east of Oso, Washington, when a portion of an unstable hill collapsed, sending mud and debris across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, engulfing a rural neighborhood, and covering an area of approximately 1 square mile. As of April 11, 2014, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's office confirmed that 36 people had died and 7 people remained missing or unaccounted for.
Several designers have banded together in the name of hope, love and strength to bring you this collab of kits and cu items. 100% of sales of this collab and donations (button on storefront) is earmarked for the families of Oso. Every week a donation will be made to the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation where all money goes directly to the victims and their families.
