Pinup Passion

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorialsare registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need
Scrapkit. I am using a ptu kit called Passion in the Darkness by Melisa. You can purchase this kit here: http://www.poisonedprincess.com/oscommerce/catalog/index.php and visit her blog here http://melisasscraps.blogspot.com/

Tube of choice. I am using PinUpToons, you must purchase a license from CILM, www.cilm.com to use his work.


New image-600x600-transparent.

Just a note that anytime we paste something, if it looks too big, you can resize it using the deformation tool or by going to image-resize- i usually start with 85% and then if needed i repeat that step. Make sure all layers is unchecked when you do this.

Flood fill with white.

Paste a paper from your kit as a new layer on the canvas.

Paste a frame as a new layer and resize. Click in the center of the frame with your magic wand. Mode is add, match mode is rgb, Tolerance 20, feather 0. Go to selections- modify-expand by 3. Depending on the frame you are using you may need to expand by more.
Now paste another paper of choice as a new layer. Selections-invert-hit delete. Select none. Move this paper layer below your frame layer.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. Resize and position so it sits nicely inside the frame. Move this layer below the frame layer but above the paper layer.

Give your tube a drop shadow. I used V -1, H 7, opacity 75, blur 9, color black.

Paste a ribbon across the bottom of the frame. Resize and position so that it slightly hangs a little over each side. See my tag for reference.

Paste a bow and position on the center of the ribbon. Resize if needed.

Paste a doodle onto your canvas. Move this layer so it is just above our background paper layer. Position on one side of the frame. Once happy, duplicate this layer and go image mirror. You should now have a doodle on each side of the frame.

Paste a gem as a new layer and resize. Position right in the center of the bow. See my tag for reference.
Give your gem a drop shadow of -1,1,75, 9 and black. Give your bow the same drop shadow.

Paste a scrappy flower as a new layer. Resize and position on one of the corners of the frame. Duplicate this layer and go image-mirror. You may need to move it slightly so it is on the opposite corner. Go layers-merge-down. Now your two flowers should be one layer. Duplicate this layer and go image flip.
you should now have two flower layers, one on the top corners of the frame and one on the bottom corners of the frame. Give both layers a drop shadow.

Paste a butterfly at the top center of the tag just above the frame. Resize if needed. Give it a drop shadow. See my tag for reference.

Paste another flower and resize. Position on the side of the frame. See my tag for placement. Duplicate and mirror.
Give them both a drop shadow.

Now is the time to resize your tag if needed. Go to image resize and make sure all layers is checked this time.

Now add your copyright info. Add your name. Once happy with it convert to raster. I then gave my name a soft plastic effect. Go to effects-texture effects-soft plastic.
I used settings of 3,55,5, angle 0 and color white. Now give it a drop shadow.

Thats it you are done.
