This Tutorial was written for those that have a working knowledge of PSP.
This Tutiorial was written on October 22nd,2009.
The tutorial was written and Created by me.
For This Tutorial I used PSP XII but you should be able to use any version.
~Supplies Needed~
Tubes of choice~I use the fantastic art work of Elias Chatzoudis
he is a licensed artist with MPT you can find his tubes HERE
Font~Any Font of choice
I used MeaCulpa and ROB Font
Scrap Kit of choice or the one I used By Yarrow called Fairy Dust which can be found at Digital Chaos
Melissa's Template #1 which you can find and download at Creative Misfits Creations.
Ok Lets get started!
Open up the Template in PSP
Delete the Copyright layer
Open your tubes of choice in PSP as well and Minimize them.
Making sure your the Raster 5 in your layers palette go to Selections,Select All,Float,
Defloat and copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer.Selections,Invert and hit Delete on your keyboard,Selections,Select None.
Name your paper layer Rectangle and delete the template layer.
Now on your Raster 4,6,3,2 and 1 as well as the Merged Layers
Doing each one by one do the same as above.
Remembering to name each paper layer after your template layers.
Also remember to delete you template layers.
Now take your Magic Wand and click on Raster 6.
Make sure this is selected in your layers palette.
Copy and paste a tube of choice
Resize if needed and when happy with palcement and size
go to Selections,Invert,and hit Delete on your keyboard.
Then Selections,Select None.
If you'd like you can give your tube a slight drop shadow.
2,2,50,5.00
Make sure your tube layer is also under your Raster 3 paper layer.
That way it looks like its inside of a frame.
Add any elements from the kit.Now if your using the same kit as
I have you can see my tag above for placement of the elements
and placement of the main tube.
Or if using a different kit place the elements where you see fit.:)
Add your name and approperate copyright and license number if needed
Now Merge Visible your tag
You can do this by right clicking in your layers palette.
Once this is done Duplicate your tag.
Making sure your on the bottom layer in your layers palette
go to Adjust,Blur,Gaussian Blur,settings at 15.00 and click ok.
Merge all of this visible once more.
Now name your tag and save as a png.
Thats it your done
