This tutorial was written by me and is from my own ideas.
Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
This tutorial is for Personal Use only.
FYI:: This is my first tut so bear with me.
♥Supplies I Used♥
♥PSP (Any version should do. I use 10)
♥ Scrap kit I used is FTU called Love Bug by Gimptastic Scraps and you can get it HERE.
♥ Mask of choice. I used AR315_CMC_mask119 by Aqua on the Creative Misfits blog and you can get it HERE. It's the one in the preview.
♥ Font of choice. I used Cupid de Locke.
♥Let's Start♥
1. Open a new canvas with transparency checked and make it 440 x 440 (I make all my tags Cafemom size so you may want to make your canvas larger.)
2. Open your Frame4.png and resize to 60%.
Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
3. Open Bear2.png.
Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Move this layer under your frame layer and change the opacity to 85.
4. Open Paper5.jpg. I resized mine to 440 x 440.
Image> Resize> 440 x 440
And I added transparency.
Image> Palette> Set Palette Transparency> Okay>
Set the transparency value to the current background color> Okay.
Move your paper under your frame layer, use your free select tool and make a circle over your frame.
Selections> Invert
Select your paper layer and hit delete on your keyboard.
5. Open Bear4.png.
Image> Resize to 70%. Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Image> Mirror and place it on the bottom right of your frame or wherever you
think it looks best for your tag.
6. Open Flower2.png.
Image> Resize to 52%. Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Rotate counter clockwise a tad bit until you like where it is and move it in front of the Bear4.png.
7. Open Letter.png.
Image> Resize to 60%. Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Place it over the flower stem and bear like mine.
Erase the stem that sticks out under the letter.
8. Open Heart2.png.
Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Move this layer until it's under your paper layer. (Should be the last layer)
9. Open Dots.png.
Image> Resize to 52%. Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Move this layer under your paper layer, but above the Hearts2.png layer.
10. Open Flower1.png.
Image> Resize to 60%. Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Move this layer all the way to the top and position where you see fit.
I put mine on the left side of the frame.
Duplicate twice.
I moved them to the sides of the other flower and rotated each in the opposite direction.
Erase the stems.
11. Open WA.png.
Image> Resize to 85%. Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Move to the bottom left of the frame.
Erase any of the stems showing under the wordart.
12. Open your mask.
Since my canvas is 440 x 440, I'm going to resize my mask to 440 x 440.
New Raster Layer. Move it below your mask and flood fill it with your color choice.
I used #bc2629 (red).
Right click on your flood filled layer> New Mask Layer> From Image> Source Luminace.
Invert Mask Data unchecked.
Delete top mask layer. Right click> Merge Group.
13. To get the effect I have on my mask, you will need Pentacom Dot and Cross.
Duplicate your mask layer. Effects> Plugins> Pentacom> Dot and Cross with these settings:
Edit> Copy. Edit> Paste As New Layer.
Move to the very bottom and center behind your frame.
14. Drop shadow everything EXCEPT Bear1.png and Paper5.jpg.
Effects> 3D Effects> Drop Shadow
These are the settings I used:;
15. Add your tag line and copyright info if you used a tube and save as .png.
Be sure to also save as .pspimage so you can edit it anytime or add other names.
That's it!
I hope you like your new tag!
