CT Tutorial Using Clockwork Noir from Pink Paradox Productions.

The creation of this tutorial is my own any resemblance to any other tutorial is strictly a coincidence.

Do not copy this tutorial or claim it as your own. If you would like to share it, please share the link to the site this is posted on ONLY.

This tutorial is written using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is for those with a working knowledge of Photoshop. This tutorial can be adapted for anyone with a working knowledge of PSP.

Before we start, I will say drag and drop elements onto your canvas. In Photoshop it is possible to do this instead of having to copy and paste like you do in other programs. But if you are more comfortable copying and pasting, then by all means do what is easier for you. I also use a white background while I’m making my tag but I delete it when I am finished.

Supplies needed:

Pink Paradox Productions Clockwork Noir scrap kit. You can find where to buy it here.

The tube I’m using is Keith Garveys Clockwork. You can get his tubes here at Garv Girls PSP Tubes. Remember, you cannot use any of tubes without a license.

Mask: Monti’s Blinds Mask, you can get it here. Be sure to follow her TOU if you use her masks.

Flou-Mouvement Filter Radial Shoved. If you don’t have this, then any filter that does a Blurred Motion will work.

Font used is Hattenschweiler. You can use any font you want though.

Open a canvas 600x600

Create your mask using paper 14. Place on your canvas to your liking.

Open E50. Place it slightly off center on the left. Do not reduce the size. Stretch the height to 106.4%, leaving the width the same. The element will be off the canvas on 3 sides.

Open E67. Position it over element 50 slightly towards the top of your canvas.

Open frame 10. Reduce to these dimensions:

Width = 58.4%

Height = 49.6%

Rotate to -11.6

Place in the center of your canvas and add a drop shadow.

Open your tube place in the center of your canvas. Add a drop shadow.

If there is a close up of your tube, use that. Drag it onto your canvas. (If your tube doesn’t have one, then enlarge it enough to where the right eye and half the face are under on the right side of the frame.) Do this with the original close up layer of your tube. Duplicate it and move it to the left side of the frame. Going back to the close up on the right side, erase what is sticking out of the sides of the frame from your original close up. Apply the Flou-Mouvement filter Radial Shoved using the default settings.

Now go to the duplicate and place it behind the frame but under the arm of the tube. I used her whole face this time. Once you have it where you like it, then apply the filter.
