postheadericon Steampunk Christmas Tut


Feel free to use my tutorial as a guide and have fun giving it your own spin.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Needed Supplies :


Tube of Choice .. I am using the work of Caron Vinson which you must have a license to use. Please do not use her work without purchasing through CDO here.

Scrap Kit of Choice .. I have used a PTU Kit from Tootypup called "Vintage Christmas Steampunk" which can be purchased here.

Mask of Choice .. I have used WSL_Mask74 by weescotslass which can be downloaded here.

Font of Choice .. Steampunk

Let's get started
 
New image 600x600 and floodfill with white. New raster layer, select all, paste into selection Paper 2. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask76, invert transparency unchecked, and merge group. Layer duplicate & merge down both mask layers.

New raster layer, select all, paste into selection Paper 10. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask366, invert transparency unchecked, and merge group. Resize 115%.

Duplicate twice and rename your layers Mask 1,2 and 3. On your first Mask layer apply Dsb Flux/Bright Noise/65. On your 2nd layer, apply bright noise again, hitting mix twice. On your 3rd layer, apply again hitting mix 3 times.
If you are deciding not to animate, skip this part of the tutorial

Copy and paste Bronze Gear 4 & resize 65%. Using your magic wand, select the center portion of your frame, selections modify/expand 5, copy and paste Paper 9 below your frame layer, resize 65%, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and drop shadow your frame. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout.

Copy and paste Clock 7, resize 50% & drop shadow. Position along the top of your frame. Copy and paste Christmas Carol 7, resize 40% & drop shadow. Position bottom right hand corner.

Copy and paste Christmas Bauble 7, resize 65% & drop shadow. I then trimmed the top part of the chain and positioned on the left hand side. Copy and paste Holly 4, resize 15%, flip & drop shadow. Position at the top of your bauble chain.

Copy and paste your tube, mirror & resize if necessary & drop shadow. Copy and paste Deco 1, resize 50% & drop shadow. Position along the bottom.

At this point if you need to, resize your tag. I have used 500x500. Add your copyright and name. I have used Steampunk, size 48, color #baa061. I then added a noise effect .. adjust/add remove noise/add noise/uniform monochrome checked/50% and added a size 8 fat color #5d2520 gradient glow followed by drop shadow.

If you are choosing not to animate, then you can save your tag.

To animate, close off Mask Layers 2 & 3 (the lil eye icon in your layer palette), Edit/Copy Merged and paste as new animation in Animation Shop. Close off Mask Layer 1 and open Mask Layer 2, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS. Close off Mask Layer 2 and open Mask Layer 3, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS.

Save as a gif.
