Items you will need to complete this project:
The Save the Earth taggers kit by Chili Designz, This is a PTU kit that is part of the new Earth Day collab at Stargazer Scraps. It is free with a $10 purchase, or you can purchase the collab outright for $12.50.
Tube of choice. I am using Fawn, by Karen M. Koski. This is a PTU tube, and you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at My Tubed Art.
Mask of choice. I am using the Grunge60 mask by Nik's Scripts & Scraps which is part of her PSP Masks Mega Pack.
Font(s) and/or alpha of choice. I am using Century Gothic which is a Windows System font. If you do not have it, you can download it HERE.
I am also using the Charmed alpha by C. Papier. This is a free to use alpha that may be downloaded at the link provided.
Note that H# and V# refer to horizontal and vertical coordinates on your canvas ruler 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 stated 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 paper of choice. I am using CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_paper12. Resize to 90%. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load Mask from Disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge60 by Nik's Scripts and Scraps. Make sure the Fit to Canvas box is checked, then click on load.
Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged, then add to main canvas, centered.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_flower3 and add to main canvas, centered at H550, V400.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_greenery and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V550.
Open Tube of choice. I am using Fawn, but Karen M. Koski. Copy the tube layer and add to main canvas, centered.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_beadspill and add to main canvas, centered at H250, V300.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_owl and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H650, V450.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_ribbon03 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V600.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_flower6 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V550.
Open CHILI_DESIGNZ_Save_the_Earth_sparkles, and add to main canvas, centered at H450, v300.
Starting with Raster 2, the flower3 layer, and working upward on your layer pallet, add a drop shadow of choice to each of the elements on your main canvas, except for the sparkles layer, Raster 9. I am using offsets, horizontal and vertical of 5 each, opacity of 75%, blur of 15, and color of black (#000000).
On the materials pallet, set both your foreground and your background colors of leaf green (#58862f). Using font of choice, add copyright information to the tag. For the Fawn tube, that information is:
©Karen M. Koski EnchantedCanvas.com MtA-(License#)
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I have my copyright centered at H400, V650, and have also added the background credits and optional tagged by information at this point.
Using the following settings, add a white drop shadow to your credits: Offsets of 3 each, opacity of 100%, blur of 5 and color #ffffff. Repeat using offsets of -3 each and leaving all other settings the same.
You should now save the artist's copy of your tag as a .pspimage file.
Using font or alpha of choice, add desired name to tag. I am using the Charmed alpha by C. Papier. I have my name centered at H300, V550, and added a drop shadow to match the rest of the elements on the canvas.
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.
