Sailing (PTU)

I wrote this Tutorial,and any resemblance to others is purely coincidental. Please DO NOT place this on any website or Group,with out my written Permission.

The artwork I used is FTU and is by Faye Whittaker and can be found on her blog HERE 

The Awesome summer kit I used is called "Sailing" by the very talented kit maker Kerrie at Mandogs Scraps and can be bought   Here

For this tut you will need either 2 tubes by the same artist,or a closeup and a regular tube..I used 3 from Faye's art..

Drop Shadows--DS= 2,2,50,5 black

800 X 800

1.) SBoatFrame--Resize =R= 43% and 80%-- adjust-sharpness--unsharp mask---DS

2.) With Magic wand, click in the center of frame---selections--Modify---Expand X4

3.) Copy And Paste = C&P-- as New raster layer= NRL-- invert on frame and delete on paper..Select None= SN--DS--and move paper below frame layer.

4.) Paper 10 (or paper of choice) R= 19%--with magic wand--click in center of frame---sel.--mod.--Ex. X5-- C&P as NRL---invert on frame and delete on paper layer--SN--move paper below tube--DS

5,) Close out background layer and Merge Visible..now rename it Frame--R= 70%--move to right side of Canvas---Tag Reference =TR.

6.) C&P main tube as NRL---R= if needed--move to the left side bottom---DS

7.) With freehand selection tool--point to point--feather = 0---draw around the bottom of tag (EX. 1)

C&P Ex.2 As a NRL and place in the selection--(the picture is by me and is to be used in the tut only...no CR needed) DS

EX. 2

8.) On top layer--sailing Light House---R= 35 % and 80% X 3---unsharp mask-C&P as NRL and place it in far background--TR--move layer right above background DS---& (DS=  -2,-2,50,5 black)

9.) Ladder--R=20% and 80% X 3--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL and place it in front of Light house--DS.

10.) Paper 4 (or your choice) R= 23%---C&P as NRL and place on background layer---this is your sky. DS

11.) Cloud 1--R= 23 % and 80% X 200unsharp mask--C&P as NRL and place in upper left corner---DS--duplicate,and Mirror--or place where you want.

12.) Cloud 2-- R= 23% and 80% X 3--unsharp mask- C&P as NRL and place it where you wish, I placed mine like it was in the distance. DS

13.) C&P any other Embellishments as you wish--here is what I pasted:

A.) Coral--R= 10%--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--place where you want.

B.) Flag--R= 30% and 80% X3--unsharp mask--place where you want,I placed mine like it was on the boat.

D.) Anchor--R= 10%---unsharp mask--with Lasso tool, go around part of the anchor--when you get your ants--go to Edit-Cut-SN--

Now with your Soften tool, go over the edges and get a good smudge..see EX. 3

E.) Board--R= 25% and 80% X 3-- unsharp mask--write on it if you want, I added a couple of word arts and resized as well as used unsharp mask to make them not so dull..once happy-C&P the board as NRL,place where ever you want, TR..
