Skullified

This tutorial was written by me and for those

who have a good working knowledge of psp.

Supplies Needed

Tube of choice, I used artwork by ©Arthur Crowe.

Scrap kit, I used (PTU) Skullified by Toxic Desirez at TPP

Font of choice, I used 

Template, I used Template by Ash and Kristin at Creative Misfits

Mask, I used Grungi 10 by Sharon at Creative Misfits

Plug-In : Richard Rosenman - Scanlines
and EyeCandy - Gradient Glow

Let's Begin!

Open template and shift D.

Close original.

Delete top 6 layers

I re-sized my canvas to 800 x 800

to give me more room and cropped when I was done

but this is totally up to how you like to do it.

There are a few basic steps for this template that are repetitive.

1. Select layer

2. Float

3. Invert

4. Paste paper

5. Hit delete

6. Close original layer

I like to start at bottom layer and go up.

Open white background and fill entire layer with white

Close this before you save as PNG at the end

but for now it helps see everything better

Paste paper 22

Apply Mask

Merge group

Now begin the steps I outlined above for the layers

Doodles - paper 26

Dotted - paper 1 and paper 2

Rectangle - paper 1

Circles - (Merge circle layers together) paper 3

Keep selected and paste close up

Duplicate

Place one on each area floated and then delete once you have them how you like

Lower opacity to 75 and blend to screen

I also filled a new layer with texture to give it a grungier look

with opacity at 60

My texture is HERE.

Purple Stars - paper 2

Apply noise at 20

Pink Stars - paper 1

Apply noise at 20

Circle 1 - paper 2

Apply ScanLines using black at 2 spacing

Glitter Circle - Add new layer and fill with color from tube

I used #650239
Apply noise and gradient glow
3,25,100, white

Circle 2 - paper 6

Circle 3 - delete

Skulls - paper 26

Now it's time to start adding elements.

Use my tag as guide for placement of elements if needed

Paste frame 1 and re-size so it's size of small circle layer
Duplicate
Move above tube layers

Paste other elements of choice

I used bottle, razor blade, spiked heart and (my favorite) teddy bear
