Tag Tutorial - Rememberance - Was PTU now FTU



Supplies Needed

Scrapkit - it's mine called "Pinked" and available from Clarey's shop

This kit is now a FTU - freebie!! Go HERE

Basic Sans Serif Font of Choice

This tut is a copy and paste tut, no filters needed


________________

The Usual - but make your Tag Canvas 700 x 600 pixels

You can either crop later or start smaller :)

Add New Layer

FF White


Open Pinked BradCluster

C&P

Place to the top right of the tag canvas

Duplicate

Image

Mirror

and move this one over a little more to the left


Hide Background Layer

Merge Visible the two cluster layers

Keep hidden for the moment

Then

Duplicate this merged layer

Image

Flip

and

Move this flipped layer down the LP so it's below the first cluster layer

Merge visible these two cluster layers

Now, unhide background layer


Open Paper12 (or another of your choice)

C&P

Move under the frame layer in the LP and position as liked

then

Do a Selection Delete on the frame layer expanding by 6

and hitting Delete on the Paper layer


Open PinkedCurtains

Resize 80% SS

and then

C&P

Place under the frame layer in the LP

and apply a favourite shadow to it

I used 0, 0, 40, 10.00 Black

No need to do a Selection Delete on this layer, it doesn't show under the frame :)


OK


Open ChickenWire

C&P

Place to the top right of the tag canvas under all layers

except the White Back

then

Duplicate

Image

Mirror


Open the PinkedFlower (the action made one, it's pink!)

Resize 60% SS

C&P

Place as mine to the top right of the tag canvas between

over the pink brad part of the cluster

Duplicate

Image

Mirror

Open the PinkedRibbonBow

It comes pre-shadowed

C&P

Place it under the right flower

Duplicate

Image

Mirror

I erased the pieces of ribbon that were showing above the flowers

but this is personal choice - if you'd like them to stay, then fab :)

OK


Open SplatPinkGlitterBall

C&P

Image

Flip

Place to the right of the tag canvas

Under all layers except the White Back...well, obviously lol!

Duplicate

Image

Mirror


Now

Open your chosen Image or Tube if you're using one instead

Then

C&P

Place under the frame AND curtain layers in the LP

and do a Selection Delete as before for the tube layer


Crop the tag canvas now - I got down to 673 pixels by 580 pixels

Tick to Crop


Now - shadows!

OK, add a shadow of - 0, 0, 35, 7.00 Black to

the flowers, chicken wire and splats layers

and

Add the same shadow used for the curtains layer, to the frame layer


Using your dropper tool

Find a light colour in the tag you like (or dark, we're going

to be placing this across the middle section of the frame so

choose what will look good with your image)

and

add this to the Background Materials box

Have the Foreground box on Null

Go to Text Tool - and find a good basic sans serif font (plain, no squigglies lol!)

and

If you've a short tag name like mine, up the Kerning as needed - I went to 200

then

Type your name

and once happy with size and placement

Add a dropshadow, I used 1, -1, 52, 2.00 Black


Add your artists info

then

Delete the white back

and

save as a PNG!

All done :)
