Items you will need to complete this project:
The 2 Tix 2 Paradyce taggers kit by Digicats (& Dogs). This is a FTU Kit that is available on the Digicats (& Dogs) blog, at the link provided.
Tube of choice. I am using EMOlution 2, by VeryMany. This is a PTU tube, and you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at Pics for Design.
Mask of choice. I am using the Grunge36 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 Goth Chick alpha by Sarah Bryan. This is a FTU alpha that is available 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 DCD_2T2P_Paper13. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load mask from disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge36 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 DCD_2T2P_ Party Flags and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V100.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Frame08 and add to main canvas, centered. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 15 degrees.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Doodle and add to main canvas, centered at H250, V450.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Flower03 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H250, V550.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Chaotic Heart and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H200, V250.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Guitar and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V350.
Open tube of choice. I am using EMOlution 2 by VeryMany. Resize to 60%, and copy the girl layer. Add to main canvas, centered.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Ribbon03 and rotate right. Copy and add to the main canvas at H400, V650.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Bottle Cap01 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V625.
Open DCD_2T2P_ Heart Deco and add to main canvas, centered at H300, V600.
Starting with the Party Flag layer and working upward, add a drop shadow of choice 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 of dark blue (#000040).
Open DCD_2T2P_ Sparkles and add to main canvas, centered at H300, V450.
On the materials pallet, set your foreground color to white (#ffffff) and your background color to dark blue (#000040). Using font of choice, add copyright information to the tag. For the Very Many tube, that information is:
©VeryMany www.picsfordesign.com PFD_License#
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I have my copyright centered at H400, V725. I have also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this point.
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 Goth Chick alpha by Sarah Bryan. I have my name centered at H550, V100. You may wish to add a matching drop shadow to your name, I did not.
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.
