------------------------
♥Let's Start♥

Open a new canvas size 800x800 (you can resize later) and 72dpi.

Open my cluster frame and copy and paste as a new layer. Delete or erase the credits.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer.

Layers> Duplicate and Layers> Arrange> Send To Bottom.

Make your frame layer active, grab your magic wand, and click inside the frame.

Selections> Modify> Expand> 3
Selections> Invert

Grab your eraser tool and erase the bottom portion of the top tube layer so it's no longer overlapping the frame and then do the same with the bottom tube layer.

Open your mask in a new window and Open Paper-4.png.

Copy and paste your paper as a new layer and move it under your paper layer.
Note: You must right click on your mask layer and Promote Background Layer before you can move it.

Right click on your paper layer and choose New Mask Layer> From Image. Make sure Source Luminance is selected and Invert Mask Data is NOT checked.

Hide the top (original mask layer and then Edit> Copy Merged and Paste your mask onto your tag.

Layers> Arrange> Send to Bottom.

Add any extra elements you want and drop shadow everything.
I used the following drop shadow settings:


Crop your tag and resize to suit your needs.

Add your copyright info.

Now grab your text tool and type out your name how you like it and position it at bottom right.

Effects> Plugins> Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Nature> Snow Drift with the following settings





Drop shadow your name (use the same shadow as above).

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my tut!

FTU Love Bug


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!
