Hi all

Hope your having a great weekend...

Well one room in a shift around is finally nearly complete only four more room to do.

Well basically I've been playing this weekend and have made a couple of tags

from some lessons I was working on in a group

You can get the tags but please do not alter them or change them

in any way and do not share them through groups please

Oh yes the art of bling..lol

needless to say bling and I do not like each other... Actually think it's more like

animation and I don't necessarily like each other

three days of hell trying to get my tags

the way I wanted or to work properly..

Tag 1 is On the wind

if you would like it available here

http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv230/Michelza/Onthewind.gif

the next tag is Island Paradise

which you can get here if you would like it

The final tag is Mirrored

I have used the wonderful art work of Alan Stevens for this tag

You can get it here if you would like it

http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv230/Michelza/Mirrored-1.gif

I don't think I will be writing a tutorial at this time for the first two tags

and the third tag

Mirrored was based on a tutorial I tried from this site

http://groups.msn.com/GossamerWingsGraphics/teardropanimationtut.msnw

It's a very good tut so give it a go and see what you can do

Well that's about it for today Hopefully have a new template, mask and tutorial for you

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of Paint shop Pro.
The results of this tutorial were done in Paint shop Pro Ultimate x2.

Supplies needed
I have uploaded some of the supplies I used here http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9a3332bb218e0ec0ab1eab3e9fa335ca9bc9c0551676068f

To create this tag I have used the beautiful artwork of Adam Byrne http://www.burncomics.com/

I’ve used a template called bc_template_12* http://beacreations.blogspot.com/

Mask I’ve used nic-grunge 32 unfortunately I do not know where this came from
If anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit

Font of choice I have used Lucida handwriting

Scrap kit of choice I’ve used a FTU scrap kit called Seductive grunge by sophisticated scraps http://techgroups.yahoo.com/group/sophistiactedscraps/ or here http://sophisticatedscraps.blogspot.com/

Alrighty then onward we go. Nice easy tag we’ll sort out the template first and then add our tube and embellishments.

Open your supplies in psp

Open your template and duplicate it and close the original.

Let’s start from the bottom and work to the top. I haven’t changed the name of the layers but if you need to of course do so.

Go to layer Hintergrund layer add a new raster layer make sure this is your active layer and then select all and open your paper 6 and copy and paste into selection.
Layer>New mask>from image and make sure invert mask data unchecked

Go to Kreis layer and select all> float> defloat and open paper 1 copy and paste into selection.
Add a drop shadow I used V&H 1, Opacity 50, Blur 1 colour Black and then I repeated drop shadow with V&H -1 all other setting stay the same.

Go to striche kreis layer and select all> float> defloat and then copy and paste into selection paper 8 add drop shadow here I used V&H 2, Opacity 50, Blur 2, colour black

Go to abger, Rechteck layer and select all> float> defloat copy and paste into selection paper 3 and add same drop shadow

Go to layer Rechtech select all> float> defloat copy and paste into selection paper 9

Go to Rahmen Rechteck select all>float>defloat copy and paste into section paper 8 add an inner bevel of Bevel 2, width 12, smoothness 16, depth 4, ambience 0, shininess 0, colour white, angle 315, intensity 50, elevation 30
Add your drop shadow

Go to Dia layer select all>float>defloat copy and paste into selection paper 9

Go to Rahmen Dia layer select all> float> defloat copy and paste into selection paper 8 add an inner bevel as before and then add your drop shadow as before

Delete your Blume layer as won’t be using it and also can delete copy right information layer

Ok let’s add our tubes

Go back to your rechteck layer select all> float> defloat and add a new raster .
Make sure your new raster is your active layer and copy and paste into selection your tube adjust as necessary. Add a drop shadow to your tube. I used the usual

Now go back to your Rahmen Dia layer and with your magic wand click inside the top frame area
Select>modify>expand 4 add a new raster and make sure it is your active layer and paste into selection your next tube. Change the blend mode to luminance
Do the same for the middle image to be added to the frame but change the blend mode to luminance legacy this time
And then do the same to the third part of the frame and change the blend mode to luminance
Select the Rahmen Dia layer and move it to the top

Now add your elements

I used the broken heart badge which I resized to 30 adjusted the sharpness once and added a drop shadow to. I free rotated by right by 30 degrees and placed about where the Blume layer was. See my image for placement.

I also used doodle 3 I resized by 50% adjusted sharpness once added a drop shadow and duplicated the layer. The first doodle I free rotated to right by 20 degrees and placed on the top of the Rahmen Dia layer. I then carefully erased part of the doodle to look as if weaving around things. See my images
The second doodle I mirrored and duplicated that layer again and put one between the Dia layer and the Rahmen Rechtech layer and the other moved to the very top of all my layers. I selected the very top layer and again I carefully erased areas to look as if it is weaving. I also had to erase a very small amount bottom most doodle layer to look right. See image

Well that’s it for this tutorial remember of course this is your tag. Have some fun play a little try different things.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial

On my tag I used double flower resized to 15% sharpened once and then duplicated it 7 times and moved them around as I liked. I mirrored the seventh double flower. I then closed all layer apart from the double flowers merged visible and then added a drop shadow. Open your closed layers.
I also used the heart bow charm resized to 30% adjusted sharpness, free rotated by 10 degrees left and placed to the right of image and added a drop shadow. I moved this layer under the tube layer. See my image for placement.
I added star tag also resized to 30% adjusted the sharpness. See image for placement. To have the ribbons come over the flowers I duplicated the tag layer and the flower layer. I placed one tag layer under the tube layer and the other tag layer between the two flower layers. I then went to the top most tag layer and erased a little of the ribbon from off the tube so it was off the face. I then went to the top most flower layer and erased some of the flower parts to allow the ribbon to show. I then also erased a couple of petals to look like they were entwined with the tag. This is all optional. See image to get idea.
I then added text to the tag and free rotated that text by 20 degrees and added drop shadow
I used what becomes word art and resized to 30% adjusted sharpness and placed to the left of the tube. See my image for placement and then added a drop shadow.
That’s it. Merge flatten, resize and sharpen add your watermark and save your done.
Hope you enjoy this tutorial.

Here is a picture of my results



I have used a PTU kit by Stacey called Libra which you can purchase @ www.sweetnsassydigiscrappers.com/store/
I also used a plug-in called xeros that has porcelain but this is completely optional...I just love the results it gives
I have also used the beautiful artwork of Gail Gastfield @ http://www.gailgastfield.com/
First open the scrap kit and Your Tube of choice in Psp
Open a new 600x600 transparent image
Copy and paste Ribbon frame onto your new image and then image resize to 60% and uncheck resize all layers
Using your magic wand click inside the frame and also shift and click all the places where there are gaps around the bottom of the ribbon four little gaps. Now selections modify and expand by 3.
Copy and paste paper 7 then move it underneath the frame and keep the paper layer selected and selection invert and then hit your delete key and your paper should be under the frame and excess now removed. Deselect at his point but using your magic wand again select inside of your frame only and then select modify and expand by 3 again.
Now add new raster and send or move to the top open your tube and copy and then paste into selection on your tag. Deselect.
Add a drop shadow of choice I used V and H of 2, Opacity of 60 and blur of 2, colour black and now comes the optional part I have used xeros porcelain at default settings.
Now add a drop shadow to our frame I’ve used the same settings as above. Then merge down
Now open frame and copy and paste as new layer on your tag then resize to 60% making sure resize all layers unchecked and then add same drop shadow again to this frame
Now slightly tricky bit zoom into you tag as we are going to erase some of the frame in the bottom to weave into the ribbon again purely optional but I like the effect. Using a small erasing brush choose the pieces you’d like to look weaved through ribbon see image for which parts to weave now merge down again.
Now open your flower cluster and again copy and paste to your tag resize to 20% and then adjust sharpness sharpen just the once now flip and then image mirror and move to your left corner of your frame see image for placement. Duplicate your flower cluster layer and then image and mirror and merge down then add drop shadow again same as before.
Open pale green ribbon tag copy and paste as new layer and then resize to 30% adjust sharpness once move to the bottom of your frame between the ribbon see image for placement. Add the same drop shadow again and then optional again but zoom in and erase a small part of the ribbon to wrap the lager ribbon on the frame and erase a small amount of the green tag to look as if under the ribbon on the frame.. See image
Add some text to the tag either the word text included in the kit or your name choose colours from the frame I choose green as foreground and pink as background and added my name and then used drop shadow of V&H -2, opacity 60 and blur of 2 but colour foreground colour
Merge visible and resize your done Add your watermark and any copyright details

As this was very personal tag for me expressing the depression I suffer and the face of happiness I often display to the world I have added some text to the tag this is not necessary but entirely up to you
Thanks for trying this tutorial I hope you enjoy it
