Items you will need to complete this project:
The Funky Fresh taggers kit by Nette's NightOwl Works. 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 Make Like a Banana, 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 Grunge6 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 nnw ff paper1. Resize to 800 x 800 pixels. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load Mask from Disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge6 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 nnw ff heartframe and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered.
Open nnw ff flowergroup and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H200, V400.
Open nnw ff heartdoodle and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V400.
Open tube of choice. I am using Make Like a Banana by Cuddly Rigor Mortis. Copy Layer 1 and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V450.
Open nnw ff star hangers and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V150.
Open nnw ff grass and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V400.
Open nnw ff patchworkowl and resize to 25%. Add to main canvas, centered at H150, V600.
Open nnw ff bfly2 and resize to 25%. Add to main canvas centered at V650, H150. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 20 degrees.
On the materials pallet, set both your foreground and your background colors to black #000000. 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 have my information centered at H400, V675, and have added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this time.
Starting with Raster 2 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 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. I have my name centered at H475, V250, and have added 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.
