Gothic Romance

This tutorial was written by me on May 18, 2020. The results are of my own imagination.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.  

Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.

This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating it.

Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)

Supplies needed

I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.

PTU Tube:  I am using Katharine's beautiful Gothic Romance.  Please do not use this tube without a proper license.  
You can purchase this tube at VMA store here

PTU Kit:  I am using a beautiful matching kit called "Gothic Romance" created by Tiny Turtle Designs.  This kit can be purchased at her store here.   

Mask:  Mask 856 by Rachel Designs.  You can get it here.  Open and minimize in PSP.  

Font of choice for you name.

Plug in: None.

Drop shadow of choice.

Vivienne's Paintbox has awesome drop shadow settings that I use a lot.  You can find the settings here and check out her awesome tutorials :)

Anytime you resize an element or tube you should sharpen it.  I do this for each layer I resize.  Go to Adjust, Sharpness, Sharpen.

Let's get started.

Open a new 750x800 transparent image.  We will resize later.

Add a new layer and flood fill with white.

Open paper 2, copy and close the original.  Paste as a new layer.  Go to Layers, new mask layer, from image.  In the Source window, select RD Mask 856. Source luminance selected, Invert mask data Not checked, click ok.  Merge group. You can close the mask as we no longer require it.

Open element 50, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Resize 65%, sharpen & drop shadow.  Move to the top right of the mask.  Duplicate and move to the far right and down slightly.

Open element 65, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Resize 40%, sharpen & drop shadow.  Move to the top left of the mask.

Open element 45, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Resize 60%, sharpen & drop shadow.  Move to the top of the mask.

Open element 30, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Resize 60% & sharpen.  Move to the top slightly to the left.  Using your magic wand, click inside the keyhole.  Selections, modify, expand by 5.  Add a new raster layer and move it under the Key hole element.  Open paper of choice.  I am using paper 8, copy and close the original.  Select the new raster layer, edit, paste into selections, select none and drop shadow the key hole element.

Open element 104, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Resize 60%, sharpen & drop shadow.  Move to the left covering the bottom of the key hole element.

Open element 121, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Mirror & drop shadow.  Move to the bottom right of the trees.

Open element 10, copy and close the original.  Select the top layer and paste.  Resize 30%, sharpen, free rotate to the left by 20 degrees & drop shadow.  Move to the right covering part of the crystal element.  Duplicate and drag this layer under the paper layer of the frame.  Move to the left of the frame.
