Falling for Autumn

PTU/CT tutorial for Ruinations by Hayleigh



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 would like to remind you to save frequently. This is in case your program closes on you as mine is known to do. J  I save as a .psd file. This keeps your elements in layers instead of merging everything the way a .png file does. I also I do not say copy and paste your element onto your canvas. In photoshop, it is possible to drag and drop. 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:
Ruinations by Hayleigh’s Falling for Autumn. You can get the kit here.

The tube I’m using is from Arthur Crowe’s Beauty in Autumn. You can get it here at Arthur Crowe’s Factory.  Remember, you cannot use any of his tubes without a license.

Mask is made by me called Feathered Mask. You can find it HERE on my blog.

Font of choice. I used AR Berkley.

Open a canvas 600x600

Create your mask using paper Falling for Autumn P(1). Place in the center of your canvas and lower your opacity to 45%.

E32 = Place the top part of the element at the bottom of your canvas. The majority of it will be off the canvas.

E69 – Duplicate. Take one copy and flip horizontally.
Reduce to these dimensions:
Width: 75%
Height: 68.8%
Rotate: -2.3
Lower opacity to 78%. Place at the top of your canvas to your liking.

Take your second copy.
Reduce to these dimensions:
Width: 85.9%
Height: 87%
Rotate: -13.2
Lower opacity to 87%. Place in the middle of your canvas.

E70 = Duplicate. Take the first copy and reduce 61.5%. Rotate: 3.3
Lower opacity to 78%. Place at the top of your canvas to your liking with element 69.

Take your second copy. Reduce 71.8%. Rotate: -20.7. Lower opacity to 87%. Place in the middle of your canvas with element 69.

E35 = Duplicate. Take your first copy and reduce 90.2%. Place on the left side of your canvas under elements 69 & 70 that are in the middle. Add a drop shadow.
Take the 2nd copy and reduce 77.4%. Place on the right side of your canvas. Add a drop shadow.

E11 = Reduce 54.2%. Place in front of the tree on the right side. Place it higher than the base of the tree. Add a drop shadow.

E17 = Reduce 11.3%. Place sitting on the lower branch of the tree on the right side of your canvas. Add a drop shadow.

E34 = Reduce 18.6%. Rotate -31.5. Place on the left side of your canvas by the tree. Add a drop shadow.

E24 = Reduce 70.4%. Center at the bottom of your canvas. Duplicate.

Open your tube. Resize it to look as if she’s kneeling or on the small bridge. Place between E24 and the duplicate. For mine, I zoomed in close and erased the rail so her fingers were showing. You may or may not have to do this, depending on what tube you are using. Add a drop shadow to the bottom layer of E24 and to your tube.

E44 = Reduce 16.8%. Place on the right side of your canvas, to your liking. Add a drop shadow.

E28 = Duplicate twice. Take the first copy and reduce 13.6%. Place off center to the left towards the bottom of your canvas. Add a drop shadow.
Take the second copy, reduce 13.9%. Place slightly lower and to the right of the first mushroom. Add a drop shadow.
Take the last copy, reduce 13.4%. Place in front of both mushrooms. Add a drop shadow.

E41 = Reduce 26.2%. Place in front of the bridge on the right side. Add a drop shadow.

E19 = Reduce 9.0%. Rotate -65.4. Place in the center of your canvas at the bottom or to your liking. Add a drop shadow.

E(1) 1 = Reduce 34.3%. Place on the lower right corner of your canvas. Add a drop shadow.

E69 = Reduce 86.2%. Place in front of the bridge.

E5 = Flip Horizontally. Reduce 22.6%. Place on the lower left corner of your canvas. Add a drop shadow.
