Martina FTU Tutorial by Bhamman

This tutorial was written by Bhamman on 16th May 2019, and assumes a working knowledge of psp.
Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Martina


Supplies needed: 

Tube of choice - I am using Martina by Carpe Diem, whom it appears is no longer doing tubes/artwork.
Do not any use artwork without a licence.

Scrapkit - FTU Emerald by Mizteeque HERE

Another great free kit. Thank you Tee!

Mask of your choice. 
(I used Dragon_fly (Vivienne) 53 HERE

Font of choice. 

Drop Shadow 2,3,55,10 Black.
No Filters.

Don’t forget to sharpen or use the unsharp feature when re-sizing/rotating your elements/tube.
Except where noted I am working from back to front for my layering.
I am using PSP x2. Some of the effects may not be available in earlier versions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open blank canvas 600 x 600 px, floodfill white.

Open mask and tube and minimise for now.

Open paper 4, copy/paste into canvas, resize 75%, apply mask 53, merge down to group, re-size by 90% 
and move down and towards bottom right corner of your canvas.

Open frame 3 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 55%. Position central in canvas.

 Open paper 5, copy/paste into canvas, Image/Mirror, resize 45%, adjust size fractionally using
your Pick Tool to make a background for your frame.

Use my tag above for reference and …..

Open tube, copy/paste into canvas, re size to suit (I used 80% with my tube). 
I then drew a rectangular selection around my tube/invert and deleted around 50% of it. Deselect. 
I then ‘softened’ the bottom edge with my eraser to lose the harsh straight edge and make it appear to
be coming out of the frame. I also erased a little bit off the bottom left side of the tube. 
Duplicate the tube, Adjust/Blur/Gaussian blur at 5 px, change blend mode to Overlay and reduce opacity to around 65%.
Dropshadow the bottom copy and Dropshadow the frame.

Time to add some more elements, see completed tag above for placement.

I used the following:

Ele 29 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 40%, duplicate 3 times and merge down. 
Position above masked layer and under frame/background layer.

Ele 21 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%. Dropshadow.

Ele 34 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%. Dropshadow.

Ele 49 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 50%. Dropshadow.

Ele 7 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 35%. Dropshadow.

Ele 8 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 17%. Dropshadow. 

Ele 50 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 30%. Dropshadow. 

Ele 14  copy/paste into canvas, re-size 22%. Image/Free rotate left 10. Dropshadow. 

Ele 49 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 65%, duplicate 3 times and merge down. Dropshadow. 

Ele 32  copy/paste into canvas, re-size 15%. Dropshadow. 

Ele 41 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 15%. Dropshadow. 

Ele 11 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 20%. Dropshadow. 

Ele 19 copy/paste into canvas, re-size 20%. Dropshadow. 

Check on how it looks and make any final adjustments, add copyright and licence information then 
close off white background layer and add names as required.
I used font The Blacklist with a dropshadow of 2, 2, 55, 4. 
Export as png on transparent background.

Thanks for trying this tutorial out.
