Items you will need to complete this project:
The Funky Fresh taggers kit by Gothic Inspirations. 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 Marshy Juggle, by Cuddly Rigor Mortis. This is a PTU tube, and you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at Creative Design Outlet.
Mask of choice. I am using the Grunge82 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 Paper9-GI_FunkyFresh. Resize to 800 x 800 pixels. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load Mask from Disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge82 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 Doodles-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 90%. Add to main canvas, centered.
Open FunPuffs-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 90%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V400.
Open Frame1-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 75%. Rotate right. Add to main canvas, centered.
Open Shake-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 65%. Add to main canvas, centered at H250, V450.
Open tube of choice. I am using Marshy Juggle by Cuddly Rigor Mortis. Copy Layer2 and add to main canvas, centered.
Open Balloon-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H200, V250.
Open Ribbon2-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas. centered at H400, V650.
Open Crown-GI_FunkyFresh and resize to 50%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V650. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate right, 17 degrees.
Open SmallBug2-GI_FunkyFresh and add to main canvas, centered at H250, V650.
On your materials pallet set both your foreground and your background colors to Dark Raspberry (#51212c). Using font of choice, add copyright information to tag. For the Cuddly Rigor Mortis tube that information is:
©Cuddly Rigor Mortis www.cuddlyrigormortis.com CDO-(License#)
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I then free rotated it left, 90 degrees and located it at H600, V350, along the right side of the frame. I also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this point.
Using the following settings, add a white drop shadow to the copyright information: 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.
Starting with the doodle layer, Raster 2, 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 Dark Red (#400000)
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 H500, V65, 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.
