Items you will need to complete this project:
The Mayhem taggers kit by Gothic Inspirations. This is a PTU kit which may be purchased at the Gothic Inspirations store as well as Digital Chaos.
Tube of choice. I am using the Mad Hatter (Curious Hatter) tube by Joelle Designs that is included in the kit.
Wee Scots Lass mask #3 which you can download HERE.
Font(s) and/or alpha of choice. I am using Trebuchet MS which is a windows system font, and the Goth Chic alpha by Whispy's D'zines, which is a FTU alpha that may be downloaded from her blog.
Note that H# and V# refer to Horizontal and vertical coordinates on your canvas grid. Make sure you have View, Rulers checked in order to see the ruler grid.
When I say "Add to your canvas" I expect that you will copy and paste it as a new layer, unless otherwise state in the tutorial.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. It was written using PSP X1, but should work in PSP 8 and up.
To begin, open a new raster layer canvas, 800 x 800 pxls, flood filled white.
Open Paper22-GI_Mayhem. Go to Layers --> Load/Save Mask --> Load Mask from Disk. Locate Wee Scots Lass Mask 3. Make sure the "Fit to Canvas" box is checked, then click on load.
Resize to 90%, copy Merged, and add to main canvas, centered.
Open Parchment1-GI_Mayhem, resize to 85%, and add to main Canvas, centered. Free Rotate -->Rotate Right --> 15 degrees.
Open Bamboo-GI_Mayhem, and add to main canvas, centered.
Open Mushroom1_GI_Mayhem, resize to 50% and add to main canvas, centered at H200, V600.
Open Mushroom2-GI_Mayhem, resize to 50%, and add to main canvas centered at H400, V600.
Duplicate Mushroom1_GI_Mayhem (Raster layer 4) and mirror.
Open WindowFrame-GI_Mayhem, and add to main canvas, centered.
Open MadHatter2-GI_Mayhem, resize to 75% and add to main canvas, centered at H550, V460.
Open Grass-GI_GI_Mayhem, and add to main canvas centered at H400, V630.
Open Keyhole-GI_Mayhem, resize to 50%, and add to main canvas, centered. Free Rotate --> Rotate Right, 10 degrees.
Using your eraser tool, erase the portion of the frame behind the keyhole.
Add a drop shadow of choice to the MadHatter. I am using offsets vertical -8, horizontal 8, opacity 85, blur 35, color dark purple (#400040).
Open WordArtGlow1-GI_Mayhem, and add to main canvas, centered at H300, V150. Free Rotate --> Rotate Left, 15 degrees.
On the materials pallet, set your foreground color to transparent, and your background color to black (#000000). Using font of choice, add the copyright information to your tag. For the Mad Hatter tube, that info is:
(c)Joelle Designs http://www.design2create.blogspot.com/
I am using Trebuchet MS, 4 points, Bold and centered.
You can now save the artist's copy of your tag as a .pspimage file.
Using font or alpha of choice, add name of choice to tag. I am using the Goth Chic alpha by Whispy's D'zines.
I have the name centered at H250, V600, and have added an orange (#f0a124) glow to it.
You can now delete the white background layer, and merge Visible. Resize your tag to 75% (600 x 600 pxls), save as a .png file, and you're all done!
