Items you will need to complete this project:
The In the Woods taggers kit by Schnegge, which is a PTU kit available at My Tubed Art.
The Meow Please tube, by Schnegge. This is a FTU tube, but you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at My Tubed Art.
Mask of choice. I am using Wee Scots Mask #221 which you can download HERE.
Font(s) and/or alpha of choice. I am using the font MS Gothic, which is a windows system font. If you do not have it, you can download it HERE.
I am also using the Black Epoxy Alpha which can be downloaded, for free from Free Digital Scrapbooking HERE.
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 X3, but should work in PSP 8 and up.
To begin, open a new raster layer canvas, 800 x 800 pxl, flood fill white.
Open Paper09_ITW_Schnegge. Edit -> Load/Save Mask -> Load Mask from Disk and select Wee Scots Lass mask #221. Make sure the fit to canvas button is checked, then click on load.
Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged, then add to main canvas, centered.
Open Moon_ITW_Schnegge and add to main canvas, centered at H450, V200.
Open Thorns_ITW_Schnegge and add to main canvas, centered at H550, V400.
Open Bat_ITW_Schnegge and add to main canvas, centered at H550, V250.
Open Leaf3_ITW_Schnegge, and add to main canvs, centered at H600, V550.
Open Leaf2_ITW_Schnegge, and add to main canvs, centered at H225, V425.
Open Frame3_ITW_Schnegge, and add to main canvs, centered.
Open MoewPlease by Schnegge and copy tube layer. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V375.
Open Ribbon4_ITW_Schnegge, and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V650.
Open Cat_ITW_Schnegge, and add to main canvas, centered at H200, V500.
Starting with Raster 2, the moon layer and working upward on your layer pallet, add a drop shadow to each of the elements on the main canvas, I am using offsets, vertical and horizontal of 5 each, opacity of 75, blur of 15 and color black (#000000).
On the materials pallet, set your foreground color to transparent and your background color to black (#000000). Using font of choice at copyright information to the tag. For the Meow Please tube that information is:
©Schnegge schneggesscraps.blogspot.com Your MTA_License# You can also add the background credits and tagged by info at this time.
I am using MS Gothic, 4 points bold and centered and have my information centered at H300, V725.
Using the settings of Offsets, vertical and horizontal of 3 each, opacity 100%, blur 5 and color white (#ffffff) add a white drop shadow to your copyright information. Repeat using offsets of -3 each, with all other settings remaining the same.
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 Black Epoxy alpha. I have the name centered at H300, V625, and have added a white drop shadow, using the settings of offsets, 5 each, opacity of 75%, blur or 15 and color white (#ffffff).
Drop the white background layer and merge visible. Resize to 75% (600 x 600 pixels) and save as a .png file and you are all done.
Note that if you are planning on using the tag on Facebook, you may wish to save it as a .jpg as Facebook does not handle .pngs well.
