Lost Soul-Tutorial

I am using the artwork of Suzanne Woolcott which you need a license to use and can be purchased from www.gorjussart.com

I am using the scrap kit "Kara" from Tishia which can be purchased from www.designsbytishia.blogspot.com

Mask Here:http://www.4shared.com/file/62986186/12669a04/WSL_Mask34.html
New Canvas 800x600
Flood fill white (optional)
Choose a paper from the kit, I chose paper #9. Resize to 800x600 Pixels and copy and paste as a new layer onto your tag.
Open the mask that I supplied, on the tag go to layers, new mask layer, from image.
Delete the mask layer and merge group.
Now using your preset shape tool, rectangle, forecolor set to black & Background null, line width set to 5 and anti alias checked, draw out a square, you can refer to my tag for assitance with placement and size. Now convert to raster layer and duplicate twice.
Now arrange them like I have them on my tag, merge them together and add a dropshadow of choice.
Open up your tubes/backgrounds of choice and copy and paste them to the tag below the frame layer.
Click inside the frame layer with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand by 5, selections, invert and on the tube/background layer hit delete.
Now repeat this for all three tube/background layers.
Now change your outter tube layers to B & W using effects, photo effects, B&W.
now change the middle tube to b&w.
Then I used the black stitching from the kit, I opened it up, resized it by 20% and used my selection tool and selected a little piece of it.
I copied and pasted it over to my tag and placed on the frame, use my tag as reference for placement.
Then using cross #4 from the kit, I resized it by 20% and placed over the face of the left tube, I right clicked on the raster layer and went to properties, I changed the Opacity to 20 and hit ok, then I duplicated and mirrored onto the right tube..
Refer to my tag if you need help with placement.
Now using paper # 11, resize same as the other papers and copy and paste onto your tag, right above the mask layer.Using another mask of choice, apply the same steps as the first mask.
Now using the Lost Soul word are in the kit, copy and paste over onto your tag, place above all of the other layers and change the opacity to 50.
Now, using your preset shape tool, draw out a circle, foreground black, background null, make it the size ofthe circle on your lost soul word art.
Now add a new layer and using your text tool, write out the words “If I’m such and important person, why do you stutter when i ask you if you know my name?”
Then adjust them to fit around the circle and convert to raster layer..add a gradient (optional) and a drop shadow of choice.
Delete your circle that you drew to write on.
Now add your name and your copyright information and you are finished :)
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial!
