Please note this is going to be a lengthy tutorial as it is 3 pieces and I will describe how to create each of the 3 pieces and since 2 of them are animated it will take a bit of time. *

Let's Begin:

We are going to start with the first item in the set which will be the avatar and the easiest.

Open a new blank canvas that is 98x208.

Selections select all.

Open paper 6 and copy and paste into selection.

Selections select none.

Open your tube.

If you are using the same tube as me you will have 1 layer that is normal and 1 layer that is bloody. We will be working with both.

First select all the options you want as far as hair color, makeup etc.

Select the layer that is bloody first.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto your avatar canvas.

Re-size by 50%.

Move to the lower part of the canvas with her head tilting towards the left.

Once you have her into place go back to your tube and copy and paste as a new layer the normal tube with the same options as you selected previously.

Re-size by 50%.

Move down and make sure you place it directly on top of the first tube.

Add a drop shadow to both tubes.

Layers new raster layer and flood fill with black.

Selections modify and contract by 7 and then hit delete.

Selections select none.

Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Add your name or initial.

Add your copyright and licensing information and lets get ready to animate.

I am going to go over the animation instructions and it will be the same for this avatar and the banner tag.

Hide the bottom tube layer which should be your bloody layer.

Copy merged the normal layer.

Open animation shop and right click and paste as a new animation.

Go to effects image transition and select fade.

Delete the very last frame which will leave you 20 frames.

Copy the above steps with the bloody tube.

Click on the last frame of the normal tube animation and copy and paste all the frames of the bloody tube animation after that frame.

Adjust the frame properties until you are happy with the effect.

This is all trial and error.

Now lets go back to psp and work on the banner tag.

Open a new blank canvas that is 650x225.

Open paper 6 and copy and paste as a new layer and position how you want on your canvas.

Copy and paste your bloody tube and then your normal tube like you did on the av.

Link them and then move them to position how you want in the center of the tag canvas.

Add a drop shadow as you did on the avatar.

Dress up your banner by adding some of the elements from the kit.

Add an outside banner like you did with the avatar. Only I made mine 10 thick on this banner.

Now animate your banner just like you did your avatar.

Lets move on to the actual tag.

Open paper 6 and shift+D to duplicate.

Close the original.

Promote your background layer to a raster layer.

Apply the mask of your choice.

Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Selection select all float and defloat.

Selections modify and expand by 6.

Flood fill with black and you might have to do it a couple of times until you get it as full as you want.

Selections select none.

Drag the black layer under the mask layer.

Merge these 2 together.

Open your tube either the normal or the blood your choice.

Copy and paste as a new layer and position on your tag.

Add a drop shadow.

Now dress up your tag with elements from the kit.

Add your name to all 3 pieces along with copyright and licensing information.

Crop and save.

This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. If you want your tag to look just like mine then used the exact same supplies as I have. Feel free to make your tag unique by using your own tube and scrap kit. Also if you want your tag to look just like mine then use my tag for reference on placement of the elements.

Supplies Used:

Tube called October Pink by Andy Cooper. You can get it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_304&products_id=14501

Scrap Kit called BCA Sweetie by Bibi's Collection. You can get it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14500

Mask of your choice. I am using mask #251 by WeeScotsLass Creations. You can get it at http://weescotslasscreations.blogspot.com/2009/04/masks.html

Font of your choice. I am using Annabelle Script. You can get it at http://www.fontspace.com/maellekeita/anabelle-script

Plugins:

NONE

Let's Begin:

Open a new blank canvas that is 700x700.

Open paper 2 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Open your close up of your tube and copy and paste as a new layer.

You want your tube to take up a good portion of the paper canvas.

Now I wanted my tube to be black and white except a couple of pops of color and the places I chose were her lips and the breast cancer ribbon on her arm.

I am going to teach you my way of achieving this effect. I am sure there are many other ways but this is how I do it. Feel free to either follow in my instructions or do it your own way.

Duplicate your tube.

On the bottom layer go to adjust hue and saturation colorize and set both values to 0 and there by changing the color of the bottom tube to black and white.

Now on your top layer using your eraser tool erase all the bits that you do not want colored. Leaving the bits you want colored un touched.

You may need to change the sizes of your eraser to get this and when I am doing the fine details around the colored items I will zoom in really really close and erase each little bit dot by dot. This can be time consuming but for me the effort is well worth the effect and final outcome.

Once you are done erasing if your edges of the colored items look jagged just use your soften tool and go around the edges a bit and soften them and blend them .

Add a drop shadow to your bottom tube ONLY.

Now merge all of your layers together.

Make your canvas large enough to work with.

Now lets dress it up with some elements from this beautiful kit.

I will list the elements I used.

Placement is completely up to you.

If you want your tag to look just like mine then use my tag for reference.
