PTU - Beachy Keen

Beachy Keen

This tutorial was written by me on May 12, 2012, using my own ideas. Any resemblance to others is coincidental and accidental. This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of psp and is written in PSPX.

Please leave some love when downloading supplies. The artists/creators work hard to make/share their work with us, so let's be appreciative. Please use all correct copyright information. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

As always, tutorials are only a guideline. If you don't have the exact supplies, use ones you have or ones you choose.

Supplies:

Tube of choice – I used an awesome tube by Scott See  from Artistic Reality Talent  – Please do not use this same tube without the proper license

PTU Scrap Kit – Beach Party by the talented Irish Bitch Designs – this kit

can also be purchased at ART

Font of choice – I used “Miss Robertson”

Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow

Mura’s Meister - Clouds

Mask of choice – I used Becky_Mask023

In psp, open a new image 650x600.

Open “sand” element – copy/paste onto image as a new layer

Resize and place towards bottom of image – sharpen

Open “water” element – c/p as new layer onto image – resize, and position below sand so it looks like the sand runs into the water – sharpen

C/P element “water2” as new layer – resize and position this on top of water layer – sharpen – Right click water2 layer in layer palette - merge_merge down

Add a little noise to the water by going to -

Adjust – Add/Remove Noise – Add Noise – Uniform_17_monochrome checked

Add a new layer and send to very bottom of image

Go to Effects_Muras’s Meister_ Clouds – these settings:

 Open mask of choice in psp and apply to cloud layer by going to - Layers_New Mask Layer_From Image_and choose your mask from the drop down list

Right click mask layer in layer palette_merge_merge group

Position behind water layer to look like the sky

C/P tube of choice onto image – Resize, sharpen, and place to your liking

Add a drop shadow to tube and all element layers ( not the water, sand, or sky )

My settings are: For Word Art_4_3_100_5_Black

Add all correct copyright information
