Items you will need to complete this project:
The EMO County taggers kit by PSP Girl. This is part of the Emo County Collab at Country Corner Creations, which is free with a $7.50 purchase at the store through August 31st, 2011.
Word art of choice - or you may create your own. I am using the Emo County Word Art by Disyas Digitals Designs which is also a part of the Emo County Collab from Country Corner Creations.
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.com.
Mask of choice. I am using the Grunge113 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 Sovereign Hearts alpha (Red) by Tagging with Base. This is a FTU alpha that can be downloaded at the link provided. Please leave Jeremy a thank you if you download!
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 PSpgirl_EmoCounty_P5. Resize to 80%. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load Mask from disk and select mask of choice. I am using Grunge113 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 PSpgirl_EmoCounty_ele25 and resize to 90%. Add to main canvas, centered at H400, V450.
Open PSpgirl_EmoCounty_ele14 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H300, V300. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 17 degrees.
Open word art of choice - or create your own text for this. I am using Disyas_EmoCWa4, which is part of the Emo County Collab. If you chose to use this word art, resize to 15%. Add to main canvas, centered at H300, V300. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate left, 17 degrees.
Open tube of choice. I am using EMOlution_9 by VeryMany. Resize to 65%, and hid the background and text layers. Copy the girl layer and add to main canvas, centered.
Open PSpgirl_EmoCounty_ele24, and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V650.
Open PSpgirl_EmoCounty_ele13 and resize to 50%. Add to main canvas, centered at H600, V600. Image -> Free Rotate -> Rotate right, 17 degrees.
Open PSpgirl_EmoCounty_ele19 and resize to 75%. Add to main canvas, centered at H500, V575.
On the materials pallet, set your foreground and background color to Bright Pink (#ef4ea7). Using font of choice, add the copyright information to the tag. For the EMOlution tube, that information is:
©VeryMany www.picsfordesign.com PFD_License#
I am using Century Gothic, 4 points, bold and centered. I also added the optional background credits and tagged by information at this point. I then added a white drop shadow to text using the following settings: Offsets of 3 each, opacity 0f 100, blur of 5. Repeat using offsets of -3 each, leaving all other settings the same.
I have my credits centered at H400, V700.
Starting with the blue ribbon layer, Raster 2 and working upward on your layers pallet, add a drop shadow of choice to each of the elements on your main canvas (except for the credits layer). I am using offsets - horizontal and vertical - of 5 each, opacity of 75%, blur of 15, and color off black (#202020).
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 Sovereign Hearts alpha (Red) by Tagging with Base. I have my name centered at H550, V100 and have added a drop shadow to match the one 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!
