Tranquility Tutorial Featuring Izabela Bzymek

 
Tranquility Tutorial
Tutorial written by: SassyDebs
Please do not claim as your own. Thank you.
This tutorial was written for those
that have a working knowledge of PSP.
This tutorial was made in Paint Shop Pro X4. But any should work. If the scrap kit isn't available to you please choose another kit of your liking.
I am using the PTU Artwork by: Izabela Bzymek and scrap kit by: FTU Taggers Inc. Tranquility Blogtrain
Supplies
Font: Estrangelo Edessa (Not provided)
Open a new white image in this size. 800x800 pixels.
Choose a paper that you like. I used paper 4 from the Tranquility Train folder.
Now we are going to apply a mask. Go to layers>load mask/save mask>load mask from disk. I used mask from Sassy's Designs named SDMask46FTU. This is included in the supplies.
Now open Frame 3 from Tranquility Train folder and copy and paste it as a new layer. Drop Shadow.
Now open element 12 from Tranquility Train folder and copy and paste it and move layer below the frame layer. Drop shadow.
Now open element 2 (tree) and copy and paste it as new layer and move that layer above the frame. Arrange the element to your liking. Drop Shadow.
Now open element 11 (mushroom/toadstool) and copy and paste it in front but off to the side some of the pine tree. Drop shadow.
Now open element 29 (purple lavender) and copy and paste in front of frame. Drop shadow.
Now open element 21 (grass) and copy and paste it in front of the frame off to the side some. Drop shadow.
Now open element 1 (deer) and copy and paste it as new layer and move it to where it is in front of the pine tree. I had to resize so I resized to 250 pixels. Drop shadow.
Now go to folder VC Tranquility TI Blogtrain and open rose 1 and copy and paste it 3 times and arrange on the frame. Drop shadow each one.
Now is the time to add your tube. Drop shadow. Be sure to add all proper copyrights and license if required.
Now we are going to add animated noise to the background. Go down to where you applied your mask. Dulicate it 2 more times. Now you should have 3 masked layers.
I renamed my 3 masks layers to Mask 1, 2 and 3. Now be sure mask 1 is highliged and now your going to hide mask 2 & 3 by click on the little eye.
Now go to selections>Select all>selections>float>selections>defloat. Now go to adjust and scroll down to add/remove noise>add noise.
Now in the box I have checked gaussian and monochrome and the noise % set to 40. Then click ok. Go to Selections>Select None. Hide mask 1 and highlight mask 2 and un-hide it by clicking on the eye.
Now go to selections>Select all>selections>float>selections>defloat. Now go to adjust and scroll down to add/remove noise>add noise.
Now in the box I have checked gaussian and monochrome and the noise % set to 50. Then click ok. Go to Selections>Select None. Hide mask 2 and highlight mask 3 and un-hide it by clicking on the eye.
Now go to selections>Select all>selections>float>selections>defloat. Now go to adjust and scroll down to add/remove noise>add noise.
Now in the box I have checked gaussian and monochrome and the noise % set to 45. Then click ok. Go to Selections>Select None.
Now un-hide mask 1 layer and using your hand tool right click inside the image and click on copy merged. Now open animation shop and paste as new animation.
Now hide mask 1 layer and highlight and un-hide mask 2 layer and using your hand tool right click inside the image and click on copy merged. Go to animation shop and right click and paste after current frame.
Now hide mask layer 2 and highlight and un-hide mask 3 layer and using your hand tool right click inside the image and click on copy merged. Go to animation shop and right click and paste after current frame.
Now in animation shop go to edit>select all. Then click on the little movie tape and you have animated your tag. If it does not animation then you have done something wrong. You may want to resize your tag before saving or leave as is and resize later.
Now to add your name to the tag in psp create the name in a new image and copy and paste it into animation shop and dulicate it 2 times then go to edit>select all then be sure all frames are highlighted by clicking on select all and right click in the 1st frame and paste into selected frame and be sure to move it where you want it before you click. Once you click it should show up all frames. If it isn't where you want it just go to edit>undo paste. This is for non-animated name. If you want the animated noise just follow the instruction above.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy this tutorial. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at:

Jessica Allain - Melissa Diaz

Well, ADI had a new release recently and I got the chance to play with a few of the new tubes.  I've discovered I just love one of the new artists artwork.  She will definitely be one of my must haves on my neverending wishlist.  So I have snaggables/extras and a stationery from Jessica Allain and some snaggables/extras from Melissa Diaz.  Please remember not to use their artwork without a proper license.
I hope you like what I have tonight.
