HARMLESS (PTU)

This tutorial was written by me on February 29th 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
Tube of choice. I am using a tube from Ismael Rac (Coolish Girl) which
can be purchased here http://store.xeracx.net/
this tut works well
with a close up of your tube as well.

The kit is from Inzpired Creations called Always Anarchy which you can
get here http://www.scrapsandthecity.com/store/

My Template # 223 which you can find here
http://denzdesignz.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/template-223.html

PLUG INS : Eye Candy Gradient Glow

LET'S GET STARTED

Open up your template in PSP ... duplicate and close out the original.
Delete the top layer (Credit to Denz Designz)

Open your tube - copy and paste as new layer, moving down below the
small wordart layers.

Open up your close up tube - copy and paste as a new layer, and move
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.

FRAME LAYERS - Add a gradient glow in color of choice - size 8.68
FRAME BACKS - Effect/Texture Effects/Blinds - Size 4, Opacity 43, Color
White

Open Guitar element - copy and paste as new layer, resize by 55% and
move down to the right so the guitar is below the small wordart layer.

Open Glitter 1 - copy and paste as new layer, and drag this layer below
your tube layer, and to the left.

left. Open the Lips 1 element, butterfly and flower 4 elements -
copy/paste, resize by 28% and place - look at my tag for guides.
Open Disco Ball element - copy/paste - do not resize. Move this layer
down to the bottom.

Open Paper 8. Copy and paste as new layer, and move it down to sit
above the left circle. Resize by 66%. On the circle layer, take your
magic wand and click anywhere outside the circle, and with the marching
ants showing, move up to the paper layer and hit delete. Add the same
gradient glow to the paper. Repeat for the right circle. You can delete
the original circle layers.

Copy and paste the same paper above the wordart layer. Resize by 77%
Using your magic wand again, click anywhere outside the wordart, then
move up to the paper layer and delete.

Move to black strip layer - and add the same gradient glow - color

PLUGINS : PENTA Dot & Cross, EYE CANDY HSB Noise and Gradient Glow

FONT : Lima Bean

MASK of choice ( if desired)

LET'S GET TAGGING

Open a 650 x 650 transparent image

Copy and paste your tube, resizing by 55% - sharpen. Move to the right
of the tag.

Choose a color from your tube,(I used #f2dd94) and making it your
background color, draw out a small rectangle. Drag this layer down
beind your tube. Rename this layer REC 1

Choose another color from your tube (I used #9f9369) and making it your
background color, draw out a circle. Rename this layer CIRC 1. Make
sure this layer sits below your tube layer, and showing from behind her
head.

Now choose another color from your tube (I used #7a644a) and draw out 3
small thin rectangles, they don't have to all be the same size. Convert
to raster layer. Rename this layer REC 2. Add Effects, Texture, Blinds
and a drop shadow/gradient glow.

Once more, choose a color from your tube (I used #a2a191) and draw out
another small circle. Move this layer down below the tube, and to the
left of the tag. Rename this layer CIRC 2

Choose one of the colors you have already used, and draw out a vertical
rectangle. Drag this layer down behind all the others, and to the left
so it is showing. Rename this layer REC 3

Now choose another color you have already used and draw one more
vertical rectangle, moving down below REC 3, but showing out from the
left. Rename this layer REC 4

Now - move back to REC 2 layer and apply HSB Noise with default
settings, changing Lump Width and Height to approx 100. Random seed
until you find the one you like. Then add Penta DOT & CROSS default
settings. Add a drop shadow or gradient glow

Move back to CIRC 1 layer, and copy/paste your tube again, resizing by
44% this time. Position the tube so it sits nicely in the circle. Using
your magic wand, and making sure you are on CIRC 1 layer, click
anywhere outside the circle - then move to the tube you just placed,
and hit delete, Then Selctions, None. Lower the opacity of this tube
layer to 50%. CIRC 1 layer can have a drop shadow/ gradient glow or
both added to it now.

Move to REC 1 layer and apply ZERO FRITILLARY with these settings -
5,30,57,179. Apply a Gradient Glow in your chosen color, width 3 ...
apply twice.

Move to CIRC 2 layer - go to EFFECTS, TEXTURE, WEAVE with these
settings - Gap 2, Width 6, Opacity 1, Colors White. Add a drop shadow
and/or gradient glow if desired.

Move to REC 4 and apply HSB Noise with settings used earlier. You now
add your Gradient Glow.

Font : Lima Bean Size 48 - Type out Big Hugs. Place on tag, add a
Gradient Glow of White - size 5. Add a drop shadow if desired.

Choose your doodle flower - copy and paste as new layer ... moving
around until you are happy with the placement. Colorize to match your
tag.

Now is the time to apply your mask/background if you want one.

Add your copyright information, and your name - and save as a PNG file.

Let's get Tagging

Open a 650 x 650 transparent image

Choose a color that compliments your tube and make this your background color. I used #b91a85. Using your rectangle tool, draw out a oval. Check out my tag to get the size. Place in the centre of your canvas

Now using your text tool, Verdana Size 11 BLACK, type out the words STAND OUT.Apply Mura Meisters COPIES with the default settings, changing Tile Gap to 2 and the mode to TILING.

Now move back to your oval shape, and using your magic wand, click anywhere outside the oval, and you should end up with the 'marching ants around your oval shape, and the edge of your canvas. Move back to your text layer, and hit delete. The wording will now be placed inside your oval shape. Sections, Select None.

Now you can apply any effect you like to your shape - HSB Noise, Fritillary - whatever - it's up to you. I added HSB Noise, and then a gradient glow around mine. Merge the text layer down.

Opne your Sexy Silhouettes - and copy and paste each one onto your canvas, resizing by 22% and placing in a line - you choose the order. Once you have them placed in the order you like, add a Fat White Gradient Glow around each one (width of 3) and then a drop shadow.Merge the silhouttes to one layer and rezize by 77%

Now to your kit
Open Element 65 (music notes) and copy and paste as a new layer. Move this down to the bottom of the tag, and to the left. Move this layer down below your silhouettes.

Open element 73 (guitar) copy and paste as new layer. Move to the right of the tag, add a gradient glow around the guitar.

Open element 10 (feather) and colorize to match your oval shape, and sit this to the right, below your guitar.

Open element 57, copy and paste as new layer, colorize and place it to the left of the tag.

Feel free to add any other elements you like from the kit - placing them on the tag - but remember, sometimes, it's best to keep it simple.

Open your tube. Copy and paste as a new layer, and resize by 66%. Sharpen. This is now your top layer. Apply a drop shadow if you like.

Move to your bottom layer, and floodfill with #b91a85, and apply your mask. I then added another layer, floodfilled with black and applied the same mask, then rotated it to the right. I then added Effects, Textures, Blinds to both mask layers.

Add your copyright information .. making sure that it can be ready clearly and your licence number is also on the tag.

entirely my own work.

Any resemblance to other tutorials/designs on the net is

purely conincidental.

relevant to the finished tag.

And above all ... remember this tutorial and all others over the net

are guidelines. Make each tag your own, unique and original to you by

tweeking here and there.

checking the size to match my tag.

Now change your background color to White and draw another circle -

slightly bigger than the one you already have. Drag this layer down

below the colored circle you already have.Add a Gradient Glow.

layer, placing the layer above the colored circle. Move this tube

around until you have it sitting where you like.

DUTY in size 72. Add any effects you desire, and place at the bottom of

Zero Fritillary

Scrapkit used : Dream E-scape by Kirsty Scraps

LET'S GET TAGGING

Open up your template in PSP ... SHift + D to duplicate the template, and close out the original. Delete the Vector 1 layer

Go to Image, Canvas Size - and resize to 650 x 650

You can always resize your tag when finished. I like to work on this size.

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

Copy and paste the close up of your tube on the grey ractangle layer. Position the tube so you can see the face clearly. Now using your magic wand, click inside the grey rectangle, go to Selections, Invert and hit delete. Selections, Select None.

Choose a color from your tube ... and floodfill the grey rectangle with the chosen color. Now add HSB Noise Effects ... with the default settings but changing the Lump Width to 99 and the Height to 122.

Now move down to the pink rectangle and floor fill this layer with Black. You can add a Gradient Glow (Fat) white and then a Medium Glow (Black) - both with a width of 3, if you like.

Move down to the left Grey Circle and add the following effect

ZERO FRITILLARY with these settings

Granularity 5

Aggresion 30

Tesselation 70

Variation 197

Add the same Eye Candy Gradient Glow to this circle.

Now move to the Right Circle and repeat these steps.

Now - move to the right Grey Rectangle,flood fill with color of choice and copy and paste your close up tube once again. Make sure that the eyes are the focal point, when placing the tube. Back on the rectangle layer, use your magic wand to click inside the rectangle and go to Selections, Invert. Move back to your tube layer and hit delete.

Move to right Glitter Rectangle and add a gradient glow (Medium - Black - Width 3)

Move to the left Grey Rectangle, and flood fill with color of choice. Add effects if desired.

Move to left Glitter Rectangle and add a gradient glow (Medium - Black - Width 3)

On the right and left PINK dotted lines layers, change to a color to match your tube.

Now it's time to add any elements you would like. This is what I did

Element SCATTER ... copy and paste as new layer and drag to the bottom. Moved up to the right and then changed the color to suit my tube/tag by going to Adjust, Hue & Saturation, Colorize. Play around with the settings until you get it right for your tag. Then duplicate, image and mirror this layer and move down to the bottom left.

Element Glitter Stars - copy and paste, resize by 90%. Colorize.

Element Flower 4, Greenery 1, Leaves 2 and both Butterfly elements ... gives just the right amount of beauty to the tag.

Now you can add a mask layer if you like, make sure to make it the bottom layer of the tag.

Add your Copyright Information, making sure it can be read clearly.

Add your name and save in PNG Format.

Beautiful Rain (FTU Limited Time)

This tutorial was written by me on February 1st 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

Tube of choice .. I am using the beautiful tube by Akubaka called Beautiful Oblivion which you can purchase at The PSP Project.You can find it here http://www.thepspproject.com/

The kit is a FTU add on (Limited Time) by Fanette Design called Rain Over Me, which you can download here http://digital-crea.fr/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=8769 - this kit is just gorgeous.

PlugIns : Eye Candy HSB Noise and Gradient Glow
Fonts : Carpenter and Haettenschweiler

Let's Get Started :)

Open a new 650 x 650 image - you can always resize later
Open up your tube - copy and paste as new layer. (We are doing this now so we have the tube and can check the position of elements etc.)

Now back to the kit :
Open Element 16 - copy and paste as new layer, resize by 55% and rotate to the left by 90degrees.
Click inside the frame with your magic wand, Selections, Modify by 5, Selections Invert.
Move down to your tube layer and hit delete, making sure your tube is sitting exactly how you like inside the frame.

Selections Invert again, and then make a new layer, and fill with a color from your tube. You can also use a paper from the kit if you like. I added HSB Noise effects to this layer. Move this layer down below your tube layer.

Open Element 33 - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 22% and move to the right of the frame.

Open Element 26 - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 18% and move to the right of the frame ... moving down below the stump element.

Open Element 28 - copy and paste as new layer. Resize by 22% and place in front of the frame.

Open Element 27 - copy and paste as new layer, resizing by 22%, and moving to the left of the frame.

Open Element 18 - copy and paste as new layer, resizing by 22%, and moving to the left of the frame.

Open Element 25 - copy and paste as new layer, resizing by 22%, and moving to the left of the frame, dragging this layer down so it sits behind the bucket.

Open Element 4 - copy and paste as new layer, resizing by 22% and moving to the left, sitting the lamp in front of the stump.

Open Element 29 - Copy and paste as new later, resizing by 22% and lowering the opacity of the layer to 44.

Open Element 17 - copy and paste as new layer, resizing by 22%. Make this layer your top layer. I added HSB Noise to the ribbon element as well.

Be creative ... this tut is only a guide so feel free to add any other elements you like to finish off your tag.

Add a new layer and floodfill with a color from your tube. Using your mask of choice, apply the mask (Layers, New Mask Layer, from image. Merge Group).

Add your Copyright Information, and your name and save as a PNG file.

As always, I would love to see any tags you make from this tutorial.

Happy Tagging.
