Sea of Tranquility Ptu

For this tutorial im using a breathtaking kit `Sea of Tranquility`

 by Scrapper`s Delights

Mask-Zuzzanna mask07-here

Font `Before the Rain` here

Filters used-Superblade Pro for name

Onto the tut....

Open a new image 650x650-You can resize later-

Open a paper you want to use for the mask-i used paper 12,

Paste the paper as a new layer,then image>new mask layer>from image

scroll to your mask,hit apply and merge group.Resize if needed.

Paste element 41-the round frame as a new layer,and resize by 90%.

Add a drop shadow-i use 2,2,50 5- and sharpen.

Open elements 79 and 80-the blue and brown nets- and

resize them both by 60%,paste them onto your canvas,make sure they are

underneath the frame layer,and  place them at the bottom of the round frame.

Now click on the top layer & paste element 44,the sand as a new layer.

Resize by 70% and place on top of the nets,move a little to the left of the frame,

and duplicate the sand,and image mirror.Position so there`s plenty of sand over the nets.

I usually paste in my tube on now,it`s easier to work around it i find.

Place your tube in front of the frame on the sand.

Click on the mask layer,then paste element 48,the concrete pillar as a new layer.

Resize by 50%,and place it to the left of the tube.You can use the deform

tool to pull it up towards the top of the frame.

Sharpen and add a drop shadow.

Open element 72,the green net curtain,and resize by 50%,place under the frame layer,

to the right of the tube,add a drop shadow&sharpen twice.

You can use your lasso tool to remove any parts over hanging the frame.

Paste the two dolphins as a new layer,again placing behind the frame

and resize by 40%,add a drop shadow and sharpen.

Now paste in some of the leaves and reeds from the kit,place the beside

the green net curtain,and around the inside of the frame.

Click on the frame layer and paste element 23 or 24 as a new layer,

place behind your tube and resize if needed.

Now you can add any other elements around the tube and frame

that you like,or use my tag for reference.

When you are happy add your name

Delete the white background,merge all layers,save as a png

and resize.Don`t forget to add your copyrights if using a different tube!

That`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
