The Baddest Bitch


Supplies Needed:
Paint Shop Pro 12 or something like it
Template 156 from Blissfully Beth here
Tubes of choice (close-up and full) I am using one from Ismael Rac, you can find his site here
Scrap Kit Bleeding Love from Candy's Treats here
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow
Mask WSL_84 from Chelle here

Let's get started!
Open the template from Beth and duplicate it,  close the original.
Delete the background layer and the copyright.
I added a white background instead, this is up to you.

Don't forget to save often!

Ok, select the Blast layer, go to select, select all, float. defloat.
Open paper17 and paste as a new layer, invert and hit delete on your key board. Apply a drop shadow. Delete the template layer.

Select the rect frame, go to select, select all, float. defloat.
Open paper19 and paste as a new layer, invert and hit delete on your key board. Apply a drop shadow. Delete the template layer.

Select the rect bg, go to select, select all, float. defloat.
Open paper20, resize by 70 percent and paste as a new layer, invert and hit delete on your key board. Apply a drop shadow. Delete the template layer.

Select frame 3, go to select, select all, float. defloat.
Open paper22, resize by 70 percent and paste as a new layer, invert and hit delete on your key board. Apply a drop shadow. Delete the template layer.

Repeat the above steps for the remaining 2 frames, frame 2 and frame 1.

Moving on to the frame backgrounds, select frame 3 bg, go to select, select all, float. defloat. Open paper5, resize by 60 percent and paste as a new layer, invert and hit delete on your key board. Delete the template layer

Repeat the above steps for the remaining 2 frames, frame 2 bg and frame 1 bg.

Open your close-up tube, select one of your frame backgrounds and paste as a new layer above it. Delete anything that sticks out from below your frame. Repeat this until you have a tube in all 3 frames. Apply a drop shadow to your tube layers.
I played around with the blend mode on these layers, I applied Luminance Legacy to 2 of them.

Copy and paste your full  tube as a new layer, place where you like it and apply a drop shadow.

Select the word art bitch, go to select, select all, float, defloat. Copy and paste paper4 as a new layer resize 50 percent and position to your liking, invert and hit delete on your keyboard. Delete the original template layer. Apply a gradient glow of your liking. I also added a drop shadow.

Repeat above steps for the word art the baddest. You may want to use another paper instead of the one for bitch. I used paper15 and resized it by 50 percent.

Time to apply a mask, go to your white background layer, select all, float, defloat and add a new layer, paste your paper into the layer (I used paper3). Apply WSL 84 to your background.

With my mask layer highlighted, I went to Effects, Textures, and used Mosaic Antique with these settings:
Grid Settings (both) 45
Symmetic checked
Tile Diffusion - 66
Grout Width - 2
Grout Diffusion - 50

I then resized my mask by 95 percent, you may have to adjust depending on your tag.

Now, on to the embellishments!

You can either go on your own and add those you perfer, or you can use the same as I did below.

Open line3 and paste it as a new layer above the large frame background, delete anything that sticks out from the frame. See my tag as reference if needed. You can place this where you like, I placed mine at the top so it looks like its running down.

Open glitterspill and paste as a new layer above the blast layer and move to the right, you may add a drop shadow. Duplicate and position to the left. I flipped mine for the left side.

Open sequins and paste above your glitter spill, position where you like and add a drop shadow, you may want to duplicate and move to the bottom or top depending on your position.

Open blackheart1 and paste as a new layer, move to the right of the large triangle. Apply a drop shadow.

Open redheart2, resize 60 percent and paste as a new layer, move to the left of the large triangle. Apply a drop shadow.

Add your copyright and name.

Crop and resize if needed.

Save as a PNG.

Your DONE!!

I would love to see what you have created using my tutorial!!
