Widow of Darkness PTU

Widow of Darkness

I used the wonderful artwork by Michael Calandra called Black Widow  which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from CDO which can now be found here  

I am using a beautiful scrapkit called ScrapCCS IB MichaelCalandra 13-1 which is PTU by Crazy Creative Scraps and can be found at CDO here

Font of Choice  

Mask of Choice I used WSL362 which can be found here

The tut was written in Paint Shop Pro X4 but should work in others.

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you can always refer to the example tag if that helps.

Let's get started!!

Open a new image 800 X 800 pixels with a transparent background.  You can resize later to meet your needs.

Copy & paste paper8 from the scrapkit onto your new image and apply your mask of choice. (Click layers, load save mask, make sure fit to canvas, source luminance and hide all mask is checked then click load)

In layers right click on mask hit delete and answer yes to the popup. Now right click on group layer merge merge group. 

Open ele8 copy & paste to your image and move slightly up & to the right

Copy & paste paper5 from the scrapkit onto your new image and apply your mask of choice. (Click layers, load save mask, make sure fit to canvas, source luminance and hide all mask is checked then click load)

In layers right click on mask hit delete and answer yes to the popup. Now right click on group layer merge merge group.  Resize by 87%

Open your tube of choice (I used the largest one) and copy & paste to your image resize if needed and place so that it is on the right side of your second mask change the opacity to 57%

Open ele2 copy & paste to your image and place on the right side bottom of your image
