This tutorial was written by me on 18 September 2008. Any similarites to other tutorials is purely coincidental.
Supplies Needed
Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Keith Garvey. I got this tube when was still with MPT; You can find him at PSP Tubes Emporium now.
Scrapkit. I'm using Girly Crush by Candy's Treats. If you wish to purchase this awesome scrapkit you can here or here. I also used elements from the fantastic freebie add on that you can download from her blog here
Mask by Vix. She has some wonderful masks and resources! Check her out!
Animation was created from animated design tiles which you can find here
Font of Choice. I used Roselyn. You can download it here
Filters Needed:
Animation Shop (opt)
Let's begin! Put the mask in your masks folder and your plug in in your plug ins folder. Open up a new transparent image 650 x 650. Floodfill with white. Open up notebook2 (from the freebie add on) Resize by 60%, smartsize. Paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Go to Image > Free Rotate. Rotate left by 90 degrees, both boxes unchecked. Grab your magic wand tool, tolerance set to 50, feather 0.00. Click inside the empty part of the frames that are on the notebook. Go to Selections > Modify > Expand by 5.00. Open up a paper of choice. Copy and paste as a layer onto your cavas. Go to Selections > Invert. Hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect. (CTRL+D)
Open up your tube. Resize if necessary, and paste onto your canvas. Position your tube within the notebook frames to your liking. Give your tube a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 75%, Blur 15.00. Grab your magic wand tool again. Click inside the empty spaces of the notebook frames. Go to Selections > Invert. Erase the parts of the tube that you don't want hanging out of your notebook frames. Deselect. Erase the part of the tube that is in between the frames so you have something similiar to this:
Highlight your notebook and give it a drop shadow of H and V 0, opacity 70%, Blur 7.00.
Open up a feather charm of choice. Resize by 60%, smartsize. Paste onto your canvas and give it a drop shadow of H and V 0, opacity 60, blur 5.00. Place it on top of the top ring of your notebook.
