I Will Fight For Her

Written 5/10/2016

This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Make your tag unique by using your own choice of tube and scrap kit. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use the same supplies that I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is purely coincidental.

Supplies Used:

Tube is called Patriotic Warrior and is by Danny Lee. You can purchase it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_132_219&products_id=18883

The matching scrap kit is also called Patriotic Warrior and is by Chili Designz. You can purchase it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18954

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 70 15.00 black

Let’s Begin:

Open the tag template and delete the creators info layer.

Make your canvas large enough to work with.

Make the black square layer active and go to selections select all float and defloat. Open paper 4 and copy and paste as a new layer. Selections invert and hit delete. Selections select none. Delete the original black square layer.

Make the white pixel words layer active. Add a drop shadow to this layer of 1 -1 100 2.00 black

Make the grey star layer active and selections select all float and defloat. Open paper 13 and copy and paste as a new layer. Selection invert and hit delete. Selections invert again. Open your tube and copy and paste the closeup of the tube as a new layer. Re-size as needed. Place so she is within the selected star area. Selections invert and using your eraser tool erase only the bits of the tube hanging out the bottom of the star. You want her to look like she is popping out of the star so her head and the shield should not be erased. Selections select none. Delete the original grey star layer.

Make the stripes layer active and selections select all float and defloat. Open paper 9 and copy and paste as a new layer. Selections invert and hit delete. Selections select none. Delete the original stripes layer.

Add a drop shadow to all the layers this far except the pixel words as you should have already drop shadowed those.

Open stars4 element from the kit and re-size by 85%. Copy and paste as a new layer and place to the top right of the tag. Drag to the bottom. Add a drop shadow.

Repeat the above steps using the stars3 element but re-size this one by 75% and place so it can be seen between the blue stars.

Open the statue element and re-size by 75%. Image flip horizontal. Copy and paste as a new layer and place on the bottom left in front of the stripes layers. Add a drop shadow.

Open ribbon and re-size by 75%. Copy and paste as a new layer along the bottom of the tag. Add a drop shadow.

Repeat with ribbon2.

Open fireworks and re-size by 75% 2x. Copy and paste as a new layer and drag under the head of the statue.

Open the wordart and re-size by 50%. Copy and paste as a new layer and place in the bottom left corner. Add a drop shadow.
