PTU Scrap Kit I am using is Punk It by Daniela K

FTU Template I am using is #62 by AquaRebel and can be found here

FTU Artwork I am using is by Electronic Rainbow

Font used for name is Happy size 48 using the pink and purple from the kit colors with a 1 Stroke Width 

I am using version PSP 9 ~ No outside filters used

Remember that this is your own creation ~ You can change around papers and elements as you like ~ My tutorial is for use as inspiration so have fun!  The instructions look daunting I know but most of it is repetitive of copy and paste so just give it a try.

Let's get creative!

Open your template and Shift D.  Close out original

X out layers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 & 21 ~ These are the credits, arrow layers, squares and background layer ~ Delete these layers

You should have only 7 layers now

Make the Rectangle layer active and bring opacity back up to 100%

Open papers 3 and 7

Make Black Shape layer active

Copy and paste your tube ~ position (use my tag as a guide)

Rectangle layer grab and drag beneath tube layer

Make Black Shape active again ~ Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat

Copy and paste paper 3 ~ Selections, Invert, Delete

Delete Black Shape layer

Make Glitter Shape layer active ~ Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat

Copy and paste paper 3 ~ Selections, Invert, Delete

Delete Glitter Shape layer

Rectangle layer ~ Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat

Delete Glitter Backing layer

Wordart layer active ~ Layers Merge, Merge Down ~ Position as in my tag

Open Elements 11, 38, 49, 51, 54, 56, 57 & 58

Rectangle layer active ~ Copy and paste #38

Resizing Elements

#11 to 68% ~ #49 to 88% ~ #51 to 68% ~ #54 to 41% ~ #56 to 68% ~ #57 to 68% ~ #58 to 23%

Copy and paste then position all elements as you like.  I mirrored the skull.  I also used the Raster Deform tool to rotate some elements like the safety pin and lips.

The drop shadow I used on all is -3, -3, 25, 3 Black

Layers ~ Merge Visible

Resize tag to your liking ~ I resized to 88%

Place credits and licensing needed for your artwork

Type out your text as you like it
