**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 – “Keeper Of the
Secret” by Selina Fenech. This tube was sold at Creative Design Outlet
but is no longer available.
PTU Kit – “Lavender Moments”
by MellieBeans. You can find this beautiful girly kit for
sale at PicsForDesign.com.
FTU Mask – “Mask 13 - Cloudy”
by Aeval Amore. You can download this
FTU mask from 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!
Open Paper 10 in a new canvas.
Double click on the layer to unlock it.
Add the Mask to the canvas and resize if needed so it is the same size
as the paper. Then drag the mask layer
below the paper layer.
With the mask layer selected, select all (Ctrl + A) and copy the entire
canvas (Ctrl + C). You will see dashed
lines surround the canvas.
Click on the paper layer to activate it, then turn on quick mask (Press
the Q key on your keyboard). The dashed
lines will disappear and that is ok.
Next Paste onto the paper (Ctrl + V) and turn your Quick Mask off (Q
again).
You will now see a dotted outline of the mask on your paper. Press the button on the bottom of layers side
bar that is a rectangle with a circle cut out of it. The mask will now show.
Right click on the paper layer and select Convert to Smart Image. This releases just the mask. The background layer of the mask will become
invisible on its own.
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 combined paper and mask from above to the canvas. Resize to fit the canvas.
Add Element 24 to the canvas and resize to fit so it raises about ¾ of
the height of the canvas from the bottom.
Position in the center of the canvas at the bottom.
Add your poser to the canvas. Resize to fit the canvas. Position her slightly in front of the column
in the center of the canvas and 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 to 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 around the heart and tube.
- Element 22 (x2)
- Element 10 (x2)
- Element 09 (x2)
- Element 12 (x2)
- Element 13
- Element 19
- Element 26 (x2)
- Element 14 (x2)
- Element 18
- Element 30
- Element 37 (x2)
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!
