Supplies
2 tubes of choice – I used the artwork of PinUpToons which can be
purchased from CDO. You must have a license to
use.
Plugs Ins used:
Xenofex 2 – Burnt Edges
Brush Strokes – Crosshatch
Mura’s Meister – Cloud
I used the following scripts and overlays which were created by Chris
of Katelynn’s Designs to make all the elements in this tutorial:
Beach Overlays
Butterfly 01 Script
Dock Script
Fishing Pole Script
John Boat Script
Life Saver Frame Script
Water Lilly Script
Be sure to stop by Chris’ blog to check out more of her awesome work
and find links to her stores for purchase.
This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~
This is the color pallet I chose to use:
Run all scripts to create the elements.
If you don’t know how to run a script go here for a written tutorial. It’s quite easy and running a script is
always so amazing to sit back and watch!
Use the Overlay on an 800 x 800 blank canvas using the blue color from
my color pallet.
Once you have all scripts run and saved as PNG’s flood fill a 700 x 700
blank canvas with #dff0f3. This canvas
will later be referred to as your “original working canvas”.
Arrange the elements using my tag as reference.
