Supplies Needed:

Photo Editing Software: I am using Paint Shop Pro X3, but any version will work.

Kit: "Gothic Mermaid" by PinkParadox Productions; this is a PTU kit, please DO NOT share.

Tube: "Lily Goth Mermaid" by Célinart Pinup; this is a PTU tube, do not use without proper license.

Template: "PBS-Template 148" by Punky Butts.  Find the template HERE!

Plugins/Filters: EyeCandy 4000 - Gradient Glow, Glass (used on name)

Elements: 2, 10, 29, 36, 70, 72, 95, 131, 133 & 147 Papers: 15, 35, 36 & 41

Let's get started!

First open up your template and hit SHIFT + D to duplicate it and then close the original.  First we're going to delete a few of the layers.  Delete layers: PBS Credits, Fonts Used, Hearts, Hearts Frame, Cane, Cane Frame, Raising WA, Raising Frame & dots.  Now resize all layers to your preferred and then change the canvas size to 650x650.  We're gonna highlight "left large square" layer; open paper 41 and copy/paste to your canvas.  Resize/sharpen and erase any excess paper.  Repeat steps for "right large square" layer.  

Now highlight "left large square frame" - Selections - Select All - Float - Defloat, add a new raster layer and flood fill with gradient made using #6f84a0 & #663366.  Add a noise setting of 50 and desired dropshadow.  Repeat steps for "right large square frame" layer.  Highlight "oval" layer; copy/paste paper 35, resize/sharpen and erase any excess paper.  Highlight "oval frame" layer - Selections - Select All - Float - Defloat, add a new raster layer and fill with previous gradient; add a noise setting of 50 and desired dropshadow.

Highlight "left small square"; copy/paste paper 15, resize/sharpen and erase any excess paper.  Repeat steps for "right small square" layer.  Highlight "small square frame" layer - Selections - Select All - Float - Defloat, add a new raster layer & flood fill with a gradient made using #000000 & #663366.  Add a noise setting of 50 and desired dropshadow.  Repeat steps for "right small square frame" layer.  Highlight "rectangle" layer; copy/paste paper 36, resize/sharpen and erase any excess paper.  Highlight "rectangle frame" layer - Selections - Select All - Float - Defloat, add a new raster layer and floodfill with the black/purple gradient.  Add a noise setting of 50 and desired dropshadow.

Now add your tube.  If you use the "Lily Goth Mermaid" you may want to use her desaturated layers to color her like you want.  Now open up your elements and place where you want them (use my example for reference if you like).  Add a desired dropshadow to them.  Add name & copyrights and then you're done!  Please feel free to send me any creations you make using this tutorial to mbalmerswifetuts@gmail.com!

Elements: 4, 5, 15, 18, 22, 41, 42, 49, 70, 73, 74, 76 & 80; Papers: 5, 7, 8, 9 & 10

Let's get started!

First open up your template and hit SHIFT + D to duplicate, then close the original file.  Let's delete the layers we don't need.  They are: PBS Credits, Fonts Used, Naughty List, Naughty List Frame, even has a wordart, even has a frame, You're the reason wordart, You're the reason frame, 2, 1 & dots leaving you with layers 3-17.  

Highlight layer 3; open up paper 9, copy/paste onto canvas, resizing/sharpening and adding a dropshadow as you go.  Erase any paper hanging out around the circle.  Highlight layer 4; Selections -> Select All -> Float -> DeFloat.  Add a new raster layer & flood fill frame selection with #2a611b; add noise of 40, monochrome & guassian checked then add a dropshadow.

Highlight layer 5; Selections -> Select All -> Float -> DeFloat.  Add a new raster layer & flood fill frame selection with #2a611b; add noise of 40, monochrome & guassian checked then add a dropshadow.  Repeat steps for layer 6.  Leave layers 7 & 8 like they are.  Highlight layer 9; copy/paste paper 9 and resize/sharpen, erasing any paper outside the circle.  Repeat steps for layer 11.

Highlight layer 10; Effects -> Plugins -> Xero -> Fritillary with these settings: 5, 30, 48, 101.  Repeat steps for layer 12.  Highlight layer 13; open paper 7 and copy/paste to your canvas, resizing and sharpening so none shows outside the circle.  Repeat these steps for layer 14.  Highlight layer 15; open up paper 8 and copy/paste it to your canvas.  Resize & sharpen so none shows outside the circle.

Highlight layer 16; open up paper 10 & copy/paste it to your canvas, resizing and sharpening so none pokes outside the circle.  Add desired noise setting and dropshadow.  Last is layer 17; add the preview Fritillary settings and a dropshadow.  Now lets move on to the elements/tube!

Copy/paste/resize/sharpen your tube onto your canvas, placing the tube in the middle of the large center circle.  Add any filters/dropshadow that you want.  Open up your elements and place where desired (using my tag for reference if you like).  I duplicated/mirrored layers 15, 41, 42, 49, 70 & 76.  I free rotated layers 76 & 70 so they'd be sideways.  Add a dropshadow to all element layers.  

Open up paper 5 and place below everything but above any background layer you have.  Apply your mask, resizing if needed.  Place to the right so the mask shows just outside the circles & then duplicate & mirror it.  Now just add your name & copyrights and you're done!  Please feel free to send me any creations you make using my tutorial to mbalmerswifetuts@gmail.com.
