I've been asked a few times to write a tutorial on how i make my banners for Time lines.
So Jessica Reed here is the first tutorial i'm writing on this.. I think i'll post more as it is a fun banner to make... 

There are some ppl out who have templates  and they are good if you want to use a template, I normally use a scrap kit and a tube or just pre-set shapes something you can easily modify to fit what you want your banner to look like.

The banner it self is 825x315
The avatar is 180x180
I think there are other size’s on the banners some are smaller..


I’m working with a PTU kit by Wicked Princess Scraps.
She sells at many stores, you can find a listing
Of them here on her blog  Wicked Princess Scraps
The name of the scrap kit is Crazy Neta
This kit is no longer avalbile for sale, she has retired the kit 
I am going to use the PTU artwork of  Joahannah von Frankenstein
The tube i'm using is name SDV Makeup
You have to have a license to use her work
and you can buy that here ART


The first thing you need to do is make sure you use a paper that will match the colors in your tube, or make one that will highlight some of the elements
I normally pick a paper from the kti I’m using or make my one
Open WP-CN-pp10 and flood fill the bottom layer
Flood fill the avatar also, you want them to match up so they do not clash

The tube I’m working with has 3 different sizes on it so I’m going to use the biggest head shot and using my opacity make it 33% visible what I call ghostlike…
Open Pewterframe and c/p as a new layer re-size it by 50% and pull it to the right hand side of your banner, add a drop shadow to it to make it stand out more...

I’m going to take the second layer of my tube and paste it behind my frame, I’m going to use my selection tool to clean out all but the face (mouth, eyes) delete the excess of the tag, and put the face behind the frame.


Open Page border stars and pull it to the far left hand side of your banner, it will cover the arm of the tube, re-size it by 70% ...
Open WP-CN-Drips two and re-color it to a bright read, paste it under the “ghostly” tube and make sure it goes all the way across the banner, you will have to put 2 of the drips on, but make sure they do not over lap, it will be too dark for what we want it too look like... how you get it all on one layer is easy you paste the first one in and pull it to the left hand side of your banner, then using since you still have it copied to your "clipboard" you use Control+E and move it to the right hand side and pull it to where it does not over lap any of the other drip...( i hope that makes sense to you)

Open Skull pile, and using the setting below 
Make sure you apply these setting’s before c/p and putting them above the frame, then you will re-size the skulls by 25% and pull it to the lower right hand side of the frame...

Open WC_CN_Alchol and c/p as a new layer and re-size it by 40% and pull it to the left hand side of the frame..

Now we are going to add a Buttonize to the banner with these settings.. I"m going to use gradient glow white to make the "frame" stand out 
this is the width of the gradient glow along with the color you will use other than white

now add a default drop shadow 5/5 and then add your copy right's
Now remember most compaines will allow us to only use the ©Joahanna vonFrankenstien and your License # .. Facebook does not want the web address on the banners.

The avatar is just the color above and your name.. 
Thank you for trying my tutorial I hope you enjoyed the tutorial
I did writing it and I hope it is what you were looking for Jessica Reed...
And here is one with Wicked Princess Creative team on the banner
