Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental

You will need:

 PTE

Mask of choice – I used WSL4

Scarlet-Rosey collab template 3 which can be found

HERE

Karma Wordart by Tonya which can be found

Open Scarlet-Rosey collab template 3. Copy, and close original

Delete Layer 2 ( copyright ).

Delete Wordart layer ( Attitude)

Delete large dotted rectangle layer

Dropshadow as you go

Resize all 95%

Image – canvas size 700 x 700

Click on white layer at the bottom and floodfill white

OK. To fill template layers . . .  Selections – select all – float – defloat. Layers – new raster layer – paste paper into selection. Deselect. Sharpen.

Two exceptions are SHAPE 2 COPY 5,  and SHAPE 2 COPY 7 ( We will deal with these as you get to them ).

Starting from the bottom layer, I used:

Shape 2 Copy 2 = Paper 10

Shape 1 – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 1 copy = Paper 1

Shape 1 copy 2 – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 1 copy 3 = Paper 1

Shape 2 copy – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 2 copy 3 = Paper 6

Shape 2 copy 4 – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 2 Copy 5 – Set Paper 6 as your foreground pattern with angle 45. Fill this template layer with pattern in same way you have been doing other layers.

Shape 2 Copy 6 – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 2 copy 7– Set Paper 6 as your foreground pattern with angle 135. Fill this template layer with pattern in same way you have been doing other layers.

Shape 2 copy 8 – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 2 copy 9 = Rotate Paper 6 right 90 degrees

Shape 1 copy 4 – adjust - add noise 60 uniform and monochrome checked

Shape 1 copy 5 = Paper 2

Grey rectangle = Paper 9

Small black dotted rectangle – give inner bevel

Pink rectangle = Paper 1

Black rectangle = Paper 3

Star line – give inner bevel

Merge left and right stars together = Paper 2. Adjust – add noise 60 With Gaussian checked, and monochrome Unchecked. Give inner bevel.

Add tube – I used the close-up one. Bring star line up and over tube layer.

Karma wordart – resize 50%

Selections – select all – float – defloat - Layers – new raster layer fill with #2f3b71.

Selections – select all – float – defloat – modify expand by 2 and fill with white. Deselect.

Move white layer below blue.

Give inner bevel to blue layer and dropshadow white. Merge together and place where desired.

WHEW!!!  That’s the hardest part done. Now you get to add embellishments

Eyelet run – Resize 50% free rotate right 45. Paste above Shape 1 copy 2. Sharpen. Duplicate – Mirror.

Doodle 2 – Resize 90%. Paste over white Background top left. Duplicate – mirror - flip

Staples – place where desired – I duplicated and rotated as well

Leaves – Resize 50%. Paste over shape 2 copy 2 layer. Duplicate – mirror

Butterfly 1 – resize 40%

Add new raster layer on top of white background. Selections – select all – paste paper 2 into selection. Deselect. Colorize 2 159

Layers – load/save mask WSL 4 from disk

Merge group

Add any other embellishments of choice.

Crop & resize if desired.
