PLUGINS - Eye Candy HSB Noise/Gradient Glow and Muras Meisters Copies

FONTS - Fontsmoocher

MASK - of choice
(I always add my mask layer at the end - sometimes I find looking at
the tag, that you just don't need it - so it's personal choice)

LETS GET STARTED

Open up a 650 x 650 transparent image

Copy and paste your tube onto your canvas, resizing ( I resized by 55%0

and moving to the right.


Open up your kit and choose Frame 1 - copy/paste - resize by 55% and
move down below your tube layer. Move to the left slightly.

Using your Magic Wand tool, click inside the frame - go to
Selections/Modify/Expand by 5. Now create a new layer, drag this below
your frame layer and floodfill the selected area with a color from your
tube or the frame.Sections/Select None. Using font of choice type out
the words SWEET BUT DEADLY. Using Mura's Meisters Copies, Tiling
(change Gap Size to 1) and apply. Magic Wand again - clicking anywhere
outside your back, and when the marching ants are showing, move back to
your text layer and hit delete.


Element FILM STRIP - copy/paste - resize by 55% and move this down to
the bottom of your tube. Using your Magic Wand again, click inside the
frame boxes - Selections/Modify/Expand by 4. Create a new layer, drag
this below your film strip and floodfill the selected area, with a
color of your choice.Do not deselct. Once again ... copy/paste your
tube onto this colored filmstrip back - do not resize your tube.
Selection/Select All - and then hit delete. You should now have your
tube cropped and showing through the filmstrip. Change the Blend Mode
to Luminance.


Using your Shape Tool - choose Elipse and draw out a large circle,
color of choice. Convert to rastor layer - and move this to the right,
below your frame/frame back. Add HSB Noise - default settings,
adjusting Height/Width to 85 - random seed. Copy and paste your tube
(original size) onto the circle. Crop as per filmstrip back - and
change Blend Mode to Luminance. On your Circle - add Gradient Glow.

Element Ribbon 1 - copy/paste - resize by 55% and sit this across the
top of your Frame. Mirror the ribbon.

Using your Rectangle Tool Shape - Line Width 14 - draw out a squarish
shape. Convert to raster layer, and then add a new layer, click inside
the frame, move down to new layer and floodfill with color of choice.
Copy/paste your tube again, and crop once you have it placed where you
like in the frame. Merge the frame, tube layer and frame back. Rotate
slightly to the left and position as shown.

Element Skull 2 - copy/paste - resize by 22% and place on the top right
hand corner of your new frame.

Element LIGHTS - copy/paste - move this layer down below your
frame/frame back - move to position so it is showing above the frame.

Element FLOWER 2 - copy/paste - resize by 77% and move to the right, so
some of the flower is showing from behind your tube.

Element Sparkles 2 - copy/paste - move this so it sits across the front
of your filmstrip frame. Duplicate this sparkle layer and Flip.

Element WALLET - copy/paste - resize by 44% - move to the right, below
your tube layer.

Element BOX - copy/paste - resize by 55%, and move to the left of your
frame.

Element BOTTLE 1 - copy/paste - resize by 33% and place this on top of
the box.

Element COCKTAIL - copy/paste - resize by 22% and place this next to
the bottle.

Element CUFFS - resize by 33% - and move to sit in front of the Film
Strip frame.

Element KITTY 4 - copy/paste - resize by 22% and sit in front of the
box.

Text Tool - Fontsmoochers (Size 28) type out the words SWEET BUT DEADLY
and place at the bottom of your tag. Add a FAT Gradient glow in White,
Size 3, and then a Medium Gradient Glow in color of choice, Size 5.

Add your Copyright Information clearly, and then add your name. Save
your image as a PNG File - and you're done.

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.

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.

Template 224

A new template - that I scrapped and restarted at least a dozen times.
