Tutorial ~ FTU ~ Cloned Forum Style (Forum Style)

Supplies needed

5 different tubes by the same artist.   

I am using the PTU artwork by Rion Vernon PinUp Toons.  You will need a license to use his artwork.  To purchase please visit CDO.

Filter ::  Tramages Tow the Line

Fonts ::  I am using Impact for PINUP & my name.  Lamplighter Script for the TOONS

I am using PSP 9 but I believe you can use any version for this tutorial

 Remember that this is your own creation ~ My tutorial is for use as inspiration so have fun!

Let's get creative!

Open a new transparent image 600x250

Choose 5 tubes from the same artist

Choose the Impact font at size 150.  Anti-Alias on Smooth.  No outline.  Choose a color to compliment your tubes.  I am using #5f7a84.

Type out the word PINUP all in capital letters.

Objects ~ Align ~ Center in Canvas

Layers ~ Convert to Raster Layer

Selections ~ Select All ~ Selections ~ Float

Choose your Clone tool with these settings ~ Click Image below to see settings

Choose your first tube you would like in the letter P ~ Take your clone brush and right click on the face just once ~ Go back to your selected text and left click holding down on your mouse while you fill in the letter by going up/down & back and forth till the image fills in the area nicely.  Now you can choose to continue cloning in to where it goes over into the letter next to it and give it an overlapped look or you can choose to just fill in the one letter.

Continue to do this for each letter and each tube till all your letters are filled in and you are happy with how it looks

Selections ~ Select None

Effects ~ 3d Effects ~ Inner Bevel with these settings ~ I used the color #eddecd

Effects ~ 3D Effects ~ Drop Shadow 2, 2, 25, 3, black

Choose your bottom layer ~ Flood Fill with the same color as your text or choose another color from one of your tubes ~ I chose #f9a297

Effects ~ Tramages ~ Tow The Line with these settings

Stay on this layer ~ Now to add your border

Selections ~ Select All ~ Layers ~ New Raster Layer ~ Flood Fill with white (or any color you like) ~ Selections ~ Modify ~ Contract by 2 ~ OK ~ Hit the delete key ~ Selections ~ Select None ~ Effects ~ Tramages ~ Tow The Line same settings ~ Image ~ Mirror

Top layer active ~ Choose your Lamplighter font ~ Size 72 ~ Stroke at 2 ~ I am using white as my foreground and #5f7a84 for my background

Type out the word TOONS in all capitals ~ Position as in my tag ~ Lower the opacity to 68%

Add your copyright and licensing information

Layers ~ Merge All ~ Flatten

Type out your name ~ I used the Impact font at 48 with the same colors/settings as my TOONS text ~ Effects ~ 3D Effects ~ Same as before ~ Effects 3D Effects but now change the first two numbers to -2

Tutorial ~ PTU ~ PinUp Toons ~ Rainbow Connection

The PTU scrap kit I am using was created by Ladyhawwk Designs and is inspired by the Artwork of Pin Up Toons.  Click HERE to view and/or purchase this kit.

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!

Let's get creative!

This is assuming that you are using the same scrapkit and tube as I am.  Please adjust your colors and sizes of tube if you are using something different

If you are not familiar with using a template now is a great time to learn so have patience and don't be afraid to change things up

I use the same instructions throughout tutorial so I will make it easier to follow by abbreviating

CP ~ Copy and Paste

SSAFD ~ Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat 

SID ~ Selections, Invert, Delete

SSN ~ Selections, Select None

Open your template ~ Shift D and close out your original ~ Delete the Info layer, flower layer, stars layer and bottom (blank) raster layer

Click the rainbow layer on your template, Adjust, Hue and Saturation, Colorize

Settings ::  Hue at 1 and Saturation at 145

Each layer in the template is named so just follow along and click each one as it is used below

White Rounded Square ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 1 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete White Rounded layer

   Pinklayer1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 6 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete Pinklayer1

   PinkCircle1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 5 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete PinkCircle1

White Circle 1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 4 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete White Circle 1

Grey Circle1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 5 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete Grey Circle1

Greylayer1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 2 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete Greylayer1

Black Layer1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 1 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete Black Layer1 ~ Move this new layer below your circles

Open your tube ~ Shift D and close out original

Now if you purchased the 162-2 PUT Tube you will have 3 sizes to your tube ~ Layer 1 is the smallest so activate that layer ~ Image Mirror

Back to your template ~ Grey Rounded Square2 ~ SSAFD ~ CP your tube layer we just mirrored ~ Position the face in the marching ants square ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete Grey Rounded Square2 ~ Position like my tag preview

Grey Rounded Square1 ~ SSAFD ~ CP tube layer 3 (largest tube in the 3) and position face in the marching ants square ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete Grey Rounded Square1 ~ Position like my tag preview

C&P layer 2 (medium size) tube onto your tag template ~ Image ~ Resize ~ 68% resize all layers unchecked ~ Position like my tag

Starting at the top of your tag layers click each layer and use drop shadow ~ I use 2 / 2 / 25 / 3 black ~ Start at the top again and change the first two numbers to -2

Click the top layer in your tag template

This is where your creativity and fun come in ~ Choose any elements you like, resize if needed and positon to your liking ~ Add the same drop shadows

When you are happy with your tag resize all layers to 76% ~ Layers ~ Merge ~ Merge Visible ~ Adjust ~ Sharpness ~ Sharpen

Add your copyright and/or licensing information ~ Merge ~ Merge Visible

Add your name/text

Save as a PNG
