Midnight Cocktail


This tutorial was written by me on May 11, 2021. 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 PS.

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 Adobe Photoshop 2021 but this tutorial should work with any version.

You can download the 7 day trial of PS here.

PTU Tube:  I am using Verymany's beautiful tube "Fruit Cocktail".  Please do not use this tube without a proper license. You can purchase it here.

PTU Kit:  I am using a gorgeous kit called "Midnight Cocktail" created by Doodle by Design.  You can purchase her beautiful kit here.

Mask: 1 by Minja.  You can download it from her blog here.  Thank you for your awesome masks.  I'm using the png version for this tutorial.

Font of choice for your name.

Plug in: None

Drop shadow of choice.

Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.

To open an image, I click on the element or paper in the file folder and drag it into PS.

To transfer an element or paper in PS to my tag, I left click and drag it into my working canvas.  
The other way is to left click and drag the element from the folder right onto your tag. 

Either way you will get the same results but the resizing will be different :).  I will be using the both method for this tutorial.

For resizing and rotating I use the Ctrl+T command.

To mirror or Flip go to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal (mirror) or Flip vertical (Flip).

Remember to save often.

Let's get started.

Open a new 800x800 transparent image.  We will resize later.

Go to layers, New fill layer, solid color.  When the pop up window appears type in FFFFFF and click ok.

Drag Minja's mask into the tag.  Resize 25% and move to the top left of the canvas.  Duplicate, mirror and move to the bottom right.  Merge the two layers together.

Drag paper 15 into the tag.  Hold down the shift key and pull up and down on the corners until it fills the canvas. Click the checkmark.  

Standing on the paper layer,  Right click and create a clipping mask.

Drag Element 121 into the tag.  Resize 60% and move to the bottom right of the mask.

Drag the main tube into the tag and resize 60%.  Move over the mirror.

Using your quick select tool, select the inside of the mirror.  If your selection goes over the frame of the mirror, select the subtract brush and click on the frame to remove it.  We only want the inside of the mirror selected.

Select the tube layer.  Go to layers>Layer Mask>Reveal selection.  Change the blend mode to overlay.
