New Scrap Kit Freebie!

Good morning!  Please check my Freebies page for my very first mini-kit.  This kit is for personal use only.  Also, check my gallery to see a Pinup Toons siggy made with this kit. 

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my Siggy Shed!  This is my first blog and I am very excited about it.  I have posted my first tut, and I am working on a freebie mini-kit which I hope to post soon.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy tagging! 

PTU Tutorial: Thanksgiving Tooshtoosh Banner

For this tut, you will need:

• Tube of choice:  I used Guch turkey from Tooshtoosh, found HERE
• Kit of choice:  I used the PTU kit from S.G. Rowe Desgins, Autumn Jamboree, found HERE
• Photo editing software:  I used paint.net, found HERE

Now let's get started:

• Open a new image sized 230 x 580
• Choose two papers from the kit and paste them into two separate layers. 
• I chose paper 3 for the bottom layer and paper 10 for the top layer
• Change the opacity of the top layer to 200 and under the blending mode, click "Multiply".
• Merge the top layer down.
• Rename the merged layer "Background"
• Decide what color you would like for a border and set it as your secondary color
• Resize your canvas to 250 x 600.  
• The bottom layer should now be mostly white with your border color around the outside.
• Rename the layer "Border".
• Select the white part of the layer and erase it.
• Move the border layer until it's on top on the background layer.
•  Add noise to the border layer.
• Add elements of choice.  I added:
• Leaf 1- resized to 34%, then rotated 23 degrees
• Leaf 3- resized to 45%, then rotated -10 degrees
• Leaf 4- resized to 35%, then rotated -72 degrees
• Flower 2- resized to 33%
• Acorn- resized to 33%

• Add your tube 
• I resized mine to 34%

•  In new layers, add your greeting and signature in fonts of your choice.
• Add drop shadow to all layers except the background layer.
• Add your copyright information.
