This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on Sept 6th 2011 and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I use PSP 9, but any version should work. I do not allow my tutorials to be translated and please do not claim them as your own. If you would like to share the tutorial please send a link to my blog. Thank you!
Things Needed:
Tube/Image of choice: I am using the fabulous work of Fetch Art which you can get purchase from Scraps and Crap
Kit of choice: I am using a PTU Kit from Created by Jill called A Little Sweeter which you can get here
Plugins: None Needed
Template/Mask: Template9 by Deb here off on the left hand side you can find her bundles as zips
Let’s Begin:
1) Open the template in PSP
2) Duplicate the template and close the original
3) Now delete the copyright layer on this template
4) Highlight our frames layer
5) Go to Selections- Float
6) Selections- Defloat
7) Now open a paper of choice from the kit (I chose paper10)
8) Paste as a new layer
9) Selections- Invert
10) Hit delete on your keyboard one time
11) Select None
12) Add a drop shadow of your liking to the paper layer frames ( I used 0,0,75,3.00 black)
13) Now delete the layer named frames so we don’t have stray edges sticking out
14) Now repeat steps 5-13 for the Circles, Bars, and Rectangle layers on our template using different papers for each
15) On the circles I used paper 08, for the bars I used paper04, and on the rectangle I used paper 05, also I didn’t put a drop shadow on the rectangle layer
16) Do not deselect on the rectangle layer
17) Open your tube and place to your liking within the selected rectangles
18) Once happy hit delete on the keyboard one time
19) Select none
20) Change this layers opacity to Luminance legacy and lower the opacity to your liking
21) I chose 48% and applied our previous drop shadow
22) Now merge the mask layers by right clicking and choosing merge group
23) On this mask layer go to selections- select all
24) Selections- float, Selections defloat
25) Open a paper of your choosing (I used paper 09) and paste as a new layer
26) Go to selections Invert and again hit delete on your keyboard
27) Select none
28) Now delete the original mask layer
29) This should leave a faded paper layer that was in the shape of the mask
30) I lowered the opacity of this layer to 74%
31) Open your frame wrap of choice and resize by 50% ( I used the frame wrap1)
32) Open the grate and resize by 75%
33) Paste as a new layer and move just above our mask layer
34) Open flower 2 and resize by 50% and again by 75% and paste as a new layer
35) Place one on the top left corner just above the circle
36) Add a nice drop shadow and now duplicate
37) Image- Mirror
38) Image- flip and move just a tad to your liking on the other circle
39) Open Foilage1 and resize to your liking
40) Paste as a new layer moving below our top roses and line up with the arch of our grate
41) Duplicate
42) Image rotate 90 % to the right all layers Unchecked
43) Image mirror
44) Now if you would like the same greenery on the bottom roses please repeat steps 39-43
45) Once satisfied with the placement of the foliage add a nice blurry drop shadow to make the greenery just pop.
46) Now I added a couple hearts here and there and the white doves for a finishing touch
47) Highlight the top layer
48) Open your tube again (resize if necessary) and paste as a new layer
49) Move to one side of your tag and add a nice drop shadow
50) Add your text and COPYRIGHTS!!!
51) If you wish for export as a JPG do so now, If you wish to export as a PNG please remove the bottom layer called background. This will remove the white background and allow you to export on a transparent background.
