Items you will need to complete this project:
The Skully Girl So taggers kit by DN Scraps which is a PTU kit available at Butterfly Blush Designs.
Tube of choice. I am using EMOlution 9, 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 Grunge126 mask by Nik's Scripts & Scraps which is part of her PSP Masks Mega Pack.
Font 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 skullgirlsopaper27. Layers -> Load/Save mask -> Load mask from Disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge126 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 skullgirlsoskullskullframe4 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered.
Open skullgirlsoskullstars2 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H500, V300. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate right, 20 degrees.
Open skullgirlsoskullpiano and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V600.
Open tube of choice. I am using EMOlution 9 by VeryMany. Resize to 65%. Copy the girl layer, and add to main canvas, centered,
Open skullgirlsoskullskullbeadstring2 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H200, V400.
Open skullgirlsoskullskulls and resize to 25%. Add to main canvas, centered at H175, V200. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 17 degrees.
Open skullgirlsoskullbear2 and resize to 25%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V525.
Open skullgirlsoskullswordart and resize to 65%. Add to main canvas, centered at H500, V600.
Starting with your frame layer, raster 2 and working upward on the layer pallet, 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 purple (#400040).
On the materials pallet, set both your foreground and background colors to white (#ffffff). Using font of choice, add the copyright information to the tag. For the EMOlution tube that informat is:
©VeryMany www.picsfordesign.com PFD_License#
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I have also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this point. I have my credits centered around H400, V675, underneath the piano keys.
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 Designs by Sarah. I have my name centered at H550, V125, and I added a drop shadow to it to match the one used on the rest of the tag.
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.
