Items you will need to complete this project:
The Ice Cream Shoppe taggers kit by Nette's NightOwl Works. This is part of the Ice Cream Shoppe Collab at Stargazer Scraps, which is free with a $6.50 purchase at the store through July 31st, 2010. It will be available for purchase at other fine online stores there after.
Tube of choice. I am using Maya, by ZeBrush. 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 Wee Scots Mask #122 which you can download HERE.
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 Chocolate alpha by Creative Intentionz. This is a PTU alpha that is available at Twilight Scraps.
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 icspaper12. Resize to 90%. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load mask from disk and select mask of choice. I am using Wee Scots Lass Mask 122. Make sure the "Fit to Canvas" box is checked, then click on load.
Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged and add masked paper to main canvas, centered.
Open nnw icscirclescatter and resize to 65%. Add to main canvas, centered.
Open nnw icschair and resize to 70%. Add to main canvas, centered at H450, V400.
Open nnw icsbowlcream and resize to 35%. Add to main canvas, centered at H250, V550.
Open tube of choice. I am using Maya by Zebrush. Resize to 65%. Select the colors and options you want to use on the girl, then Copy Merged and add to the main canvas, centered.
Open nnw ics2sweet and resize to 50%. Add to main canvas, centered at H550, V625.
Open nnw icslabel and resize to 35%. Add to main canvas, centered at H620, V600. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 12 degrees.
Open nnw icsscatters and resize to 70%. Add to main canvas, centered at H150, V400.
Open nnw icsstring and resize to 70%. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V675.
Starting with the Star Scatter layer, Raster 2 and working upward on the Layers pallet, add a drop shadow of choice to each of the elements on your main canvas. I am using offsets - vertical and horizontal - of 5 each, opacity of 75%, blur of 15, and color Chocolate (#49373c).
On the materials pallet, set your foreground and background colors to chocolate (#49373c). Using font of choice, add copyright information to the tag. for the Zebrush tube, that information is:
©Zebrush www.picsfordesign.com PFD_License#
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered, and have centered my copyright information at H400, V725. I have also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this point.
Open nnw icssparkle and resize to 90%. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V650.
You should now save the artist's copy of your tag as a .pspimage file.
On the layer pallet, click on the chair layer, Raster 3 to activate. Using font or alpha of choice, add desired name to tag. I am using the Chocolate alpha by Creative Intentionz. I have centered my name at H250, V75. I then 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% (600 x 600 pixels) and save a .png file, and you are all done.
