Template used, Pookers template 14 you can find HERE This uses no scraps just filters in psp

Font of choice, I used dumbass

Graphic Program of choice, I use PSP 9

Let's Begin!

1. open pookers template, duplicate and close the original, canvas resize 750 x 600

delete the copyright layer, and fill the white layer, ( I like to start large to have plenty of room to work you can always crop and resize later)

2. select ractangle 1 layer, select all float defloat (I add a new layer on template tags)

add a new layer and flood fill with a color that compliments your tube. select none

delete the rectangle 1 layer.

3. Select rectangle 2 layer and repeat, as above using colors that compliment your tube.

4. Select rectangle 3 layer and repeat, this time leave selected, copy and paste your tube

and go selections invert and delete the excess tube off the rectangle. now go up to layer and

change the blend mode of your tube to luminance (L) add a drop shadow of -2, -2. 50, 5. (to make the shadow look correct take your magic wand and click outside the rectangle on the rectangle layer go back to the tube layer and hit delete.

5. select sandollar 1 layer repeat the same steps as you did on the other rectangle layers

6. same as above but select sandollar 2 layer . I duplicated both my sandollar layers and did image flip, image mirror so that I now have 2 on each side of my tag.

7. select your rectangle layer 1 (the first layer you worked on) select all float defloat, effects , texture effects, weave, with these settings......... 2, 6, 1, I used black and black with fill gaps checked, But again use a color that will compliment your tag

select none.

8. Select your rectangle layer 2 and repeat the same step above.

9. Now you can add a drop shadow of choice to your rectangle layers. I added another tube to my tag, this is your choice as this is just a guide, Now go to the white layer and add a new layer, fill with a color that compliments your tag, and apply a mask of choice, I used, Artmama's mask 06 you can find that HERE

10. when you have your tag the way you like it hide your white background layer and merge visable, Now add your copyright information, and your name and save. Hope you enjoyed my 2nd tut.

I use version 9

plugins used are

xenofex 1.01

eyecandy 4000

lokas 3d drop shadow (psp dropshadow works just as well) This tag was made using the wonderful Collab kit Peas in a pod by Gemini Creationz and Sticky Kisses Designs you can find this kit at Scrappin Bratz

Open a new image 650x650 You can resize later,

I like having a large canvas to work on fill with white

Open gcz doodle 1 copy and paste as a new layer

resize 85% I use smartsize

Open gcz doodle 2 copy and paste as a new layer

resize 85% . line up the two to look like a heart

layer merge down.

select magic wand tolerance set to 0 sample merged ticked and contigous ticked

no feather anti alias ticked, click inside your heart frame you made, go selections

modify expand by 8. Go to your white layer add a new raster layer and fill with a light

blue. Keep selected, go xenofex 1.01 little fluffy clouds, add clouds to your liking

still keeping this selected open gcz grass element

copy and paste as a new layer above you blue background, resize 55% smart size,

selections invert hit delete, repeat this 3 or 4 times moving your grass around until you have

the desired amount (you can resize it a little smaller or a little larger) keeping selected still

Open gcz tree element, copy and paste as a new layer, resize 48% move to the right of the

blue back, hit delete if any is showing outside your frame, paste again, and resize 38% this time

and move to the left of your tag and down a bit (use my tag as an example)

now open gcz-baby2 element copy and paste it right below your frame layer resize it by 37% and place where you feel it should be. (you should still have a selection active)

make sure you hit delete if there is anything showing outside your frame, now you can deselect.

Now on your frame layer I do a gradient glow with these settings

I apply this twice now lokas dropshadow with these settings

If you use psp dropshadow the settings would be 2, 2, 50 , 5 , black

Now go to your tree's, pea people, and grass layers and add the same dropshadow as above

Hid your white background and merge visable.

unhide the white background and open paper gcz-4 copy and paste below your merged layer, resize to 70%

layer load mask from disc, you can use a mask of choice or the one I used

was boundlessbliss_grungemask_1 (I am not 100% sure where I got this mask)

Now above the mask layer open element gzc_gsplat copy and paste as a new layer

Move up and a bit to the right, layer duplicate, image flip, image mirror , and place where you think

it looks best (again you can use my tag as a guide)

Open element gcz-sun copy and paste it above your tag layer, resize by around 48% and move to the upper

right of your tag, add the same gradient glow as above ( 2 times) and the same drop shadow as well,

Now open element gcz-butterfly, copy and paste as a new layer, image resize by 40% Place where you feel it looks best and add a drop shadow. ( I rotated mine by 12% to the right ) .

Hide your white background layer and merge visable. Add the correct copyright information to your tag and your name and Save your tag .

If you would like to know how I did the effects on the name, I used font Montelago Flaire ( this is a ptu font)

size 150 with a stroke width of 1.5 black and fill color #6ccf37 add your name, using vector, before converting to raster image rotate free rotate to the left by 8, convert to raster selections select all float defloat, modify contract by 2, effects , texture effects , weave, settings 1, 4, 1, color black in both boxes, fill gaps, keep selected, efects inner bevel with these settings, width 11, smoothness 27, depthe 5, ambience, 4
