Tutorial Challenge: Art2Life by Vix (Old School, Animated) - Treehouse Treasures

Art2Life

This old-school tutorial was easy to do, and the results are dramatic.
The only plugin filter you will need is MuRa's Meister Copies.

I did a few things differently than the tutorial. In the tutorial, you duplicate the tube and then apply Mura's Copies to it with the Wall Paper setting. This layer is then duplicated and sent to the bottom of the Layer palette (the mask is applied to this layer). For my tag I did these steps a little differently. I duplicated the tube twice and applied two different Wall Paper settings to the two different tube layers. One of the Wall Paper layers is sent to the bottom and the mask is applied, and the second Wall Paper layer is used inside the frame. For the layer within my frame, I used the Wall Paper (rotate) setting and then I believe I mirrored the layer.

For the bottom Wall Paper layer, I first applied an Art Media Effect>Brush Strokes (Soft Blur Preset: Softness=1, Strokes Length=15 Density=26, Brush Bristles=256 Width=6 Opacity=0, Lighting Angle=311 Color=black), and then I applied the mask. Instead of using the Texture Effects>Weave, I used Penta Color Dots. I think the look is pretty much the same.

For my text, I have multiple layers with different settings to make the text stand away from the background while blending in at the same time. My notes can be pretty detailed, so I will omit those here unless anyone is interested; just ask and I'll share that info. The font I used is Easy Street EPS.

Have fun with this one; I can't wait to see your results.

I really enjoyed doing this tut a few years ago. Thanks, timber, for posting this challenge, I think I'll do it again.

Here is the first tag I made with this tut.

I used the artwork of Annika Smidt and the font I used for my name was Blairesque Curly JF. That is about all I remember about this one.

I can't wait to see what everyone does with this tut.

That's the tag I remember, Judy. I love the pinks and reds in that colorful image by Annika Smidt and so beautifully tagged by you!

Here's the second of three tags that I have made from this tutorial (and I have a fourth Steampunk version in the works)

.

The frame used in the tutorial kind of reminded me of a port hole, so since I've been wanting to make a pirate tag, I went along that theme

This tube wouldn't really fit inside-outside, so I went completely outside with it. So just imagine that she climbed out of the picture and sat on the frame

LOL. Sandwiched between the frame layer and the mask layer I have added a layer with a skull and swords tube that I got from Lacarolita's Sexy Pirate Scrap Kit. I've also added a couple of pixel tubes (the treasure chest and parrot) from some Lia tube sheets. The font that I used for my text is Captain's Table.

The Animation Shop optimization settings are really killing these beautiful tubes

. I've saved this tag as a non-animated PNG file, so you could see the beauty of the graphics.

I hosted this tutorial over at Escape From Reality for the May No-Scrap Tutorial Challenge, and Leona

made these beautiful tags for me

Realizé este tutorial hace mucho tiempo. Tal vez si lo hago de nuevo no me salga ..

I can hardly wait to try this tutorial -- Love all the tags here. Great work eveyone.

Hugs,

the design you posted is so great, I like it very much.

as you said, here is very helpful for me, I have learned more skills of design
