Maroon Beauty Tutorial

This tutorial was written on September 3rd by Donna Mae AKA Sapphire Love. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.



Supplies Needed:
Remembering La La by Wicked Princess Scraps
Template 157 by Designs by Ali
Tube by Karincoma. She's a FTU artist, check out her work! :)

Let's begin

Open your new document, 500 x 500.

Open up your template, resize it by pixels, make it 500 x 500.

Make sure all layers are invisible except for Raster 1.

Open WP_RLL_PP19, go to edit > define pattern > Okay.

Right click "Raster 1", Blending Options > Pattern Overlay > The Pattern you just Defined > Okay.
Now press Shift + Control + N, and a new layer should pop up. Press Shift + Control + E and those layers should merge.

Open WP_RLL_PP12, Go to Edit > Define Pattern > Okay.

Make sure all layers are invisible except for "Raster 3". Right click layer > Blending Options > Pattern Overlay > The Pattern you just Defined > Okay.
Press Shift + Control + N, and a new layer should pop up. Press Shift + Control + E, and the layers should merge.

Right click "Raster 4" > Blending Options > Bevel & Emboss > Default Settings, Make the Highlight Color & Shadow Color #357785.

Delete "Raster 7"

Delete "Raster 5"

Delete "Raster 6"

Now past your template into your New Document.
(A NOTE: When you paste your "Raster 1" add your drop shadow Opacity 30% > Distance 3 > Size3.)

Open up your tube, go to Image > Adjustments > Selective Color > Your Settings like this:


Click okay.

Use your Rectangular Marquee Tool, Select some of your tube, paste her into your document(erase some leg if you need to), Add your drop shadow > Opacity 20% > Distance 3 > Size 1 > Okay.

Open WP_RLL_Frame1, re-size it to 450 x 450 pixels, place behind everything(except your white background). Add your drop shadow > Opacity 20% > Distance 3 > Size 3.

Open WP_RLL_Frame3, Re-size it to 450 x 450 pixels, place behind again & rotate slightly. Add your drop shadow > Opacity 20% > Distance 3 > Size 3.

Add your name, tag it, add your copyright information and you're done. :) Hope you enjoyed my tutorial!
