Items you will need to complete this project:
The Funky Fresh taggers kit by Scraps by j0eswife. This is part of the Funky Fresh Collab at Stargazer Scraps, which is free with a $10 purchase at the store.
Tube of choice. I am using Emo Princess, by Alfadesire. This is a PTU tube, and you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at Pics for Design.com.
Mask of choice. I am using the Grunge49 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 Red Passion alpha by Creative Crazy Scraps. 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 paper19. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load Mask from Disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge49 by Nik's Scripts and Scraps. Make sure the fit to canvas box is checked, then click on load.
Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged and add to main canvas, centered.
Open GlitterMesh03 and add to main canvas, centered. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate right, 17 degrees.
Open Frame18 and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V250.
Open Butterfly03 and resize to 50%. Add to main canvas, centered at H550, V150. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 17 degrees.
Open Flower07 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H250, V500.
Open tube of choice, I am using Emo Princess by Alfadesire. Resize to 40%. On the layers pallet had both the Artist Name and background layers, then Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged and add to main canvas, centered.
Open HeartswithGlitter03, and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V650.
Open Glittersplat10 and resize to 50%. Add to main canvas, centered at H500, V550.
On the materials pallet, set both your foreground and your background colors to black (#000000). Using font of choice, add copyright information to the tag. For the Emo Princess tube, that information is:
©Alfadesire alfadesire.deviantart.com PFD_(License #)
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I have centered my copyright at H400, V700. I also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this time.
Using the following settings, add a drop shadow to the copyright text: offsets of 3 each, opacity of 100, blur of 5 and color bright gold (#ffa402). Repeat using offsets of -3 each and leaving all other settings the same.
Starting with Raster 2, the Mesh layer, on your main canvas and working upward, add a drop shadow to each of the elements on your main canvas except for the copyright layer. I am using offsets - vertical and horizontal of 5 each, opacity of 75, blur of 15 and color black (#000000).
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 Red Passion alpha by Creative Crazy Scraps (thanks Stu!). I have centered my name at H600, V600, and add a drop shadow to match the one used on the rest of the tag.
Drop the white background layer and merge visible. Resize to 75%, and save as a .png file and you are all done.
