**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 Posers – “Garnet and
Jake” by English Rose Designs. You can
purchase these posers at the designer’s store English Rose Designs Garnet
and Jake.
PTU Kit- “For My Mother” by Graphics of Fantasy. You can purchase this beautiful kit at the
official Graphics of Fantasy.
Mask – “Mask 10 - Flames” by
Aeval Amore. Available on my blog, Aeval’s Art.
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!
Use the mask from above and combine with Paper 5 to create a background
mask. If you do not know how to do this,
you can find the instructions in this
tutorial.
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.
Add the new mask to the canvas and size to fit the canvas.
Add Element 13 to the canvas and resize to about three times the
size. Right click on the layer and
select “Blending Options” and change the Blend Mode to “Darken”. Duplicate the layer twice. Spread the roses out over the mask. Background.
Select a Grass brush. Paint grass in bunches on bottom of canvas. After grass is painted, create a new
layer. Select Paint bucket tool. Change your fill method from Foreground to
Pattern. Select a grass pattern. Paint entire layer with pattern. Right click on the layer and select
"Create clipping mask". Select
both layers and then right click on one of them. Select "merge layers" to create a
new combined layer. Right click on the
layer and select blending options.
Select Stroke. Set Size to 1,
Position to Center, and Blend Mode to Overlay.
Select color which compliments the grass texture you used. Select Filter, Open Filter Gallery, and then
select Rough Pastels from the Artistic filter.
Leave defaults as they are and click OK.
Add Element 14 to the canvas. Resize
to fit most of the width of the grass you added. Add DS.
Add Element 12 to the canvas.
Resize to fit properly on the chaise.
Position on the chaise. Add DS.
Add the Jake poser to the canvas.
Resize him so he fits on the right side of the canvas and looks as
though he is standing slightly in front of the chaise. Add DS.
Add the Garnet poser to the canvas.
Resize her so she fits on the canvas and position so it looks as though
she is leaning slightly against Jake.
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 35
- Element 64
- Element 99
- Element 68
- Element 69
- Element 38
- Element 51
- Element 88
- Element 24
- Element 6
- Element 2 (x2)
- Element 22
- Element 4 (x2)
