Winter Don’t Have To Be Blue

Written 1/5/2022

This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice of tube or scrap kit to make your tag unique.

If you want your tag to look just like mine, then use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge

of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.

 

Supplies Used:

Tube of your choice. I am using a tube by Zlata M. You can purchase this tube at http://picsfordesign.com You must have a license to use this work.

Scrap kit is called Winter Blues by Amalie. You can purchase this kit at www.tinyturtledesigns.com

Font of your choice. I am using.

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

Mura Meister Copies

 

Let's Begin:

Open element 25. Shift +D to duplicate. Close the original for use another time. Make your canvas large enough to give you room to work. You can crop and resize at the end when we are done.

Using your magic wand select the inside the frame. Selections modify expand by 8.

Layers new raster layer. Drag this new layer under the frame.

Open paper 23 and copy and paste into selection.

Selections modify and contract by 7.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer.

Resize as needed.

Position tube in the center of the frame.

Duplicate the tube and move to below the frame.

Selections invert.

On the bottom tube layer hit delete.

Make your top tube layer active. Using your eraser tool erase the bottom portion of the tube that is outside of the frame.

Selections select none.

If need be use your eraser and clean up the edges around the frame.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to both the frame and the tube. You will use this drop shadow throughout the tutorial to drop shadow all of your elements.

Open element 12 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 50% 2x.

Adjust sharpness sharpen.

Using Mura Meister Copies. Set it to Encircle. We will keep the default settings.

Resize this layer by 110% and move to the bottom behind the frame. Reposition if necessary. Add a drop shadow.

 

Now let’s dress the tag up with elements from the kit. I will list the elements I used. Feel free to use other elements to make your tag unique. Placement of the elements is completely up to you. If you want your tag to look just like mine, then use my tag for reference.

Add your Name.

Add your copyright and licensing information.
Crop and resize if you wish.

If you want to make it a 3 piece set like I did then use whatever elements from the tag and make a smaller tag for the banner. I usually make my banners 65 to 70% smaller than the tag itself.

Same with the avatar.

You are done!

Thank you for trying my tutorial!!
