IMMORTAL BLUE PTU

Written by Gwenda on October 18th 2012
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental

You will need:

Font of choice – I used Ghoulish, FTU font found

Scrapkit called Blue Lace by NIka at Devilish Designz
This beautiful kit is very versatile and can be purchased

Tube of choice. I used one by Anna Marine. These tubes can be purchased from
 CDO

Mask of choice – I used Omask 011 LT1-1
I am unsure where I got this mask, so if it is yours, please let me know and I will either remove it, or add credits

Open new raster layer 700 x 700 and floodfill white

Layer – new raster layer – selections select all  - paste Paper 4 into selection. Deselect
Apply OMask 011 LT1-1.

Dropshadow top tube only.

Tube again. Mirror, and position above the paper 9 layer slightly up from your main tube.

Element 56 (chickenwire) – Resize 80% and paste over mask layer in top right corner.

That’s about it. Your main tube should be sitting as your top layer, so if it isn’t, just go to layers palette and move it up.

I found a quote about vampires that I liked and put that in the frame as you can see, but that is entirely up to you.

Add any other embellishments of choice.

Crop & resize if desired.

Add copyrights and name.
