Claire Tube of choice, I used Suzanne Woolcott and Rion Vernon No Srap kit used Font of choice I used A&S Popcorn Plugins used lokas 3D shadow, Xero Fritillary Graphic Program of choice, I use PSP 9 This tut is written with permission of Claire who made me the Pinuptoons version tag originally, Thank you so very much Claire!!! This tutorial assumes you have working knowledge of paint shop pro, All of my tutorials are my own creation and any similarity with any other tutorial is purely coincidential. Please do not copy my tutorials to anyplace, please link back to my blog! Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white, (you can ALWAYS resize later, I like having plenty of room to work) Open your tube of choice, and grab a complementary color from your tube, put this in your foreground/stroke color box, and black in your background/fill color box, now go to elipse tool with your line width set to 4 draw out a circle (align center) convert to a raster layer, Now draw out another circle, this time using just the line width set at 4 and the background set at null, move it over towards the left until the line lines up with the first circle, now duplicate and then resize by 80% move over again lining up the lines again, merge these 2 circles together Grab your magic wand and click inside the opening between the 2 circles you just merged, expand this by 2 (you may need to use your freehand selection tool to get all the opening) add a new raster layer below this and fill with the same color as your line, now select none, go back to your line circles and apply an inner bevel of choice and a dropshadow of choice, then merge down with the layer you just filled, Now grab your magic wand again, this time click inside the opening of the circle you just merged, expand by 2, add a new raster layer and fill with white, c/p an upclose of a tube of choice, and then invert your selection and hit delete, now invert selection again and change your hue and saturation on the tube to 0 and 0. Now while it is selected apply Xero-Fritillary with these settings select none, Now add your tube of choice and bring this to the top apply a dropshadow of choice, when you are happy with your tag hide the white background layer and merge visible. Now go to your white background layer and unhide and then add a new layer flood fill with the color you are using for your tag and apply a mask of choice, I used WSL-Mask181 I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info, it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right information and Save the way you prefer to save tags, I hope you enjoyed this tut smiles christy Ü
