SUPPLIES NEEDED
TUBE OF CHOICE: I used the fantastic artwork of
Elias Chatzoudis.
I used five different Elias tubes.
You must have a license to use this art.
SCRAPKIT: Wicked Way Collab.
This Collab is made up of five kits.
The one I used here is by
Designs by Sarah.
You can find it HERE.
FONT OF CHOICE: I used: the King and Queen font.
I used Photoshop for this tut.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
In this tut we'll be taking an element and making it bigger.
If you don't wish to animate, just skip the steps marked *BLUE*
Use my tag as a guide for placement of elements.
Open a canvas 700x700 pixels.
Flood fill with the color of your choice.
Open splatter1.
Resize to 50%.
Duplicate this layer twice.
Place each layer toward the corners.
Open splatter2.
Resize to 50%.
Duplicate this layer.
Place each layer toward top corners.
Open haunted house.
Center on tag.
Open bat.
Resize to 40%.
Open cauldron.
Resize to 50%.
Open your tubes.
Place them where you like.
I moved the cauldron behind
my center tube.
I also resized my tubes to fit.
Resized from 80-90%
depending on tube size.
I also used element “witch hat” from the kit
to accessorize one of the tubes.
It is sitting on her leg.
I resized that to 30% and
flipped it Horizontally.
Make sure four of the five tubes
are behind the green glow layers.
Open broken glass.
This should be on top of all other layers
except the name layer.
Place a drop shadow on all layers
except the splatter layers.
Resize the siggy to your liking.
Make a new layer.
Type your name on the taggie.
I used color f69408.
Stroke, Outside, 3, Black
MOST IMPORTANT!!
You must now do this:
Put the artist's name, website, and your license number
of the tube you used on the siggy!!
Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.
Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.
If you don't want to animate, Save as PNG.
YOU'RE DONE!!
(If you want to maintain your layers
Always Save as PSD first.
Then you can save it as a PNG.
When doing both these steps
It is important to change the title of the tag.
Example:
When I Save as PSD,
I always name the tag what I want.
Then, when saving as a PNG,
I add the number 1 behind the name of the tag.
Like this:
Witches Play Too, Save as PSD
Witches Play Too1, Save as PNG
Otherwise, your PNG will overwrite your PSD
Merging your tag into one layer only.)
*Getting Ready for Animation*
Ok. Let's get set up for animation.
As you can see on the tag
I used the green glow at the end of
my tube's wand to animate.
I only animated the green glow.
Highlight that tube layer.
Grab your magic wand.
Click on the green glow.
Go to Edit in your tool bar.
Click Copy.
Go to Edit again.
Click Paste.
Now you have a new layer.
Name this green glow1.
Highlight this layer.
Resize this to 125%.
Duplicate this layer.
Name the new layer green glow2.
Highlight green glow2.
Resize to 125%.
