**This tutorial was written using Photoshop CC. I believe the
instructions should work with various other versions, but they are not tested
on any other version. This tutorial is
my own creation. Any similarity to any
other tutorial is not done purposely or knowingly (aside from the fact that the
process is pretty similar in most tutorials).
If you do not know how to do some of the things I mention here (like
mirroring an image, adding a drop shadow, resizing elements, etc.), check out
my “Tips
and Tricks” tutorial. **
Supplies:
PTU Tube – “23-2” by Amy
Matthews. This tube can be purchased
from Creative
Design Outlet.
FTU Mask – “Mask 08 - Focus” by Aeval Amore. This can be downloaded from my blog.
Abbreviations:
DS – Drop Shadow
Settings I use:
DS Settings - Blend Mode set to Multiply, Opacity set to 75%, Angle set
to 120 degrees, Distance 5, Spread 0, Size 5
Ready…..Set….Tag!
Open a new canvas (Ctrl +N) 700 x 700, transparent background. This will be referred to as the working
canvas in my directions when switching between canvases.
Follow the instructions in this
tutorial to combine Paper 02 and the mask.
Once the mask is ready, add the final result to the working canvas and
resize to fit.
Add Element 30 to the canvas and resize to fit the width of the
canvas. Position in center and add DS.
Add Paper 04 to canvas. Resize
so that it fits behind the left square in the frame you just added. Move the paper layer below the frame.
Add the close-up layer of your tube.
Resize so that the portion of the tube you want to display shows in the
left square. Make sure the tube layer is
on top of the paper. Right click on the
tube and select “Create Clipping Mask”.
This will hide any part of the tube that extends beyond the paper. Right click and go into Blending
Options. Change Blend Mode to “Linear
Light” to get the light look I used.
Add Paper 12 to canvas. Resize
so that it fits behind the right square in the frame. Move the paper layer below the frame.
Add the close-up layer of your tube.
Flip it horizontally (Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal from the
menu bar). Resize so that the portion of the tube you want to display shows in
the left square. Make sure the tube
layer is on top of the paper. Right
click on the tube and select “Create Clipping Mask”. This will hide any part of the tube that
extends beyond the paper. Right click
and go into Blending Options. Change
Blend Mode to “Overlay” to get the faded look I used.
Add Paper 01 to canvas. Resize
so that it fits behind the right square in the frame. Move the paper layer below the frame.
Add Element 39 to the canvas and resize so it fits in the middle
frame. Add DS.
Add your tube and resize her to fit the canvas. Position her so she on the left side in front
of the frame. Add DS.
Voila! The focal point of your
tag is now created.
Now decorate your tag with any of the beautiful elements from the kit. Resize the elements as you add them so fit
the proportions of your tag. Experiment
with rotating them and mirroring them for more variety. In addition duplicate elements and use multiple
times to fill in holes and add more pizzazz.
In this tutorial to indicate when I used more than one of the same
element I will add (X#) by the name to indicate how many versions of the
element I used.
Here are all the elements I used from the bottom layers up.
- Element 37
- Element 36
- Element 28
- Element 20
- Element 15
- Element 27
- Element 17
- Element 21
- Element 12
- Element 18
Add your license and copyright info to the tag.
Add name and any other text of choice.
Save as PNG and go share with all your friends!
Thank you for trying my tut! I’d love to see how your tags turn out so
