Glammy Girl Extras - March 14th 2012

WOW ... it seems like ages since I have opened PSP - just been too pooped from working.

But ... I did whip up a small set of extras for you, using a kit called GLAMMY GIRL by Inzpired Creationz which you can purchase HERE

There are so many elements in the kit that I didn't use - you will just want to use it over and over again.

DARK ANGEL (FTU)

This tutorial was written by me on March 6th 2012, and is

entirely my own work.

Any resemblance to other tutorials/designs on the net is

purely coincidental.

Please do not rip this tutorial apart or claim it as your own work.

This tutorial is done in PSP 9 but maybe done in other versions as

well. A basic understanding of the program and it's tools is needed.

SUPPLIES

Wendy Gerber DARK ANGEL tube which you can get at the PSP Project here

http://www.thepspproject.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17_22&products_id=124

Kit of Choice (Truly make this tag your own)

PLUGINS : Eye Candy Gradient Glow & HSB Noise

FONTS : Century Gothic/Sick Capital Vice

MASK : Mask 393 by Vix here http://www.freewebs.com/vixpsp/masks.htm

** Before we begin - this tutorial is all about the layout - once you are done making your tag, let your creativity take over and add elements from your kit of choice **

LET'S GET TAGGING

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer - resize by 85% and place in

the cente of the canvas. We are doing this first, as a guide for your other layers.

Choose a color from your tube, and make this your background color - I

used #651d23. Draw out a large circle, with your preset shape tool.

Move this layer down below your tube. Now copy and paste the close up

above the circle layer, positioning it showing what you want in the

circle. Grab your Magic Wand, and on the Circle layer, click anywhere

outside the circle, and you now have the marching ants showing. Move

back to the close up layer and hit delete.Lower Opacity on the tube to

60%. Add Texture/Blinds effects to your Circle - settings of your

choice. Also Add a Gradient Glow to the circle - once again settings of

your choice.

Change your background color to Black - Now using your Rectangle Preset

Tool - draw out a large rectangle, convert to Raster Layer, and move

this layer down below your circle layer. Now go to Effects/Texture

Effects/Weave with these settings : 2,6,1, White, and tick Fill. Apply

a Gradient Glow twice to the shape.

Change your background color to your previous choice (mine was #651d23)

and draw out another rectangle shape - slightly longer and narrower

than your black rectangle. Convert to raster layer. You can copy and

paste your close up tube into this rectangle. (Use your magic wand in

the way we used it earlier) Apply Eye Candy HSB Noise with default

settings ... changing the Lump Width and Height to approx 100, Random

Seed. Apply the same Gradient Glow effect.

Now working on your bottom layer - flood fill with color of choice and

apply the mask (we all know how to do that don't we).

Open up your kit of choice and add whatever elements you like - just

don't over do it. A couple of bats, a moon or clouds - maybe a spider

here or there.

Using your font, add your Copyright Information, and then add your

name. Save this as a PNG file and you are done.

I would love to see any tags you make from this tut.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (PTU)

This tutorial was written by me on March 3rd 2012, and is

entirely my own work.

Any resemblance to other tutorials/designs on the net is

purely conincidental.

Please do not rip this tutorial apart or claim it as your own work.

This tutorial is done in PSP 9 but maybe done in other versions as

well. A basic understanding of the program and it's tools is needed.

SUPPLIES

I am using a cutie tube by Andrea Ale called CAKE which you can buy at

Scraps and the City here

http://www.scrapsandthecity.com/store/cake-4072.html

Template 224 by Denz Designz here

http://denzdesignz.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/template-224.html

Kit is called Sweet and Sassy and is available at Sweet Shoppe Designs

http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/

Mask # 81 here http://insatiabledreams.net/Cat_s_Masks.html

Fonts - Century Gothic

LET'S GET TAGGING

Open up your template - duplicate and close out the original.

Delete the top layer (credits to Denz Designz)

Open up your tube - copy and paste as new layer, and move this tube

layer down below frame 1 layer. Now move the tube around until you get

the part of the image you like showing through the frame. Move down to

the back 1 layer and using your magic wand, click anywhere outside the

back, and when you have the marching ants showing, move back to the

tube layer and hit delete. Change Blend Mode to Luminance Legacy.

Repeat the same steps for the Frame 2 and back 2 layers.

Open Element BANNER from the kit - copy and paste as new layer. Resize

by 15% and place towards the top of your template.

Open Element FLOWER from the kit - copy and paste as new layer. Resize

by 22%. Adjust color to suit the tag. Duplicate a couple of times and

scatter around the tag.

Open Element BOW - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 15% and place

at one end of the banner, Adjust color to suit the tag, and then

duplicate and place at the other end of the banner.

Decide now if there are any other elements you want to add - but

remember less is often more ...

Copy and Paste your tube as a new layer, making sure this is now your

top layer. Resize by 66%. Sharpen.

Now move down to your bottom layer and floodfill with a color from your

tube. Apply your mask. Add Texture Effects BLINDS to your mask

(settings to your liking). I always do my Mask last when I make a tag -

as sometimes I decide that the tag doesn't need one - others do it

differently, but it's personal taste.

Now add your copyright Information CLEARLY - add your name and save as

PNG File.

this layer down to below the right frame layer. Using your magic wand,
move to the right frame back layer, and click anywhere outside the
shape, and then with the marching ants showing, move back to your close
up tube layer and hit delete. Change the blend mode on the tube layer
to Luminance Legacy.

Repeat the same with the left frame and back layers - so you will have
close up images showing through both the frames.

the original circle layers.
