***********************
all the elements are included in the kit *except the tube* so no masks or templates.
let's get started.
open a new image with a transparent background at 750px by 650px.
open frame04 from the kit and resize by 80%.
copy and paste (C/P) it as a new layer.
free rotate to the left by 90.
open paper08 from the kit and copy.
add a new raster layer below the frame.
use your magic wand tool to select the area inside the frame.
expand selection by 8.
paste the paper into selection on the new raster layer.
select none.
duplicate the paper layer.
go up to effects > 3D effects > cutout.
apply with the following settings:
V - 0
H - 0
O - 100%
B - 100.00
shadow color - #000000
fill color - UNchecked
change the blend mode of the cutout layer to overlay.
merge down one layer to the paper.
open the tube and resize if needed.
I resized by 80%.
C/P as a new layer above the frame.
add a drop shadow of your choice.
duplicate the tube.
pull the copy below the frame.
use your rectangle selection tool to make the following selection:
CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW
hit delete on the top tube layer.
invert your selection and hit delete on the bottom tube layer.
select none.
now use your magic wand tool to select the area outside the paper08 layer.
hit delete on the bottom tube layer to get rid of any excess tube portions.
select none.
now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.
don't forget to add artist credit and license info.
when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.
paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.
invert selection and crop to selection.
that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.
thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
