Steam Along

This tutorial was written on 2/12/2022

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 the artwork of Very Many. You can purchase this tube and many others at VeryManyTubes

Scrap Kit is by HF-Projekte. You can get her kits at Illustration store PicsForDesign.com. PSP tubes, PSD illustrations, Vector illustrations.

Font of your choice. I am using Steamwreck.

Mask of your choice. I am using Mask # 133 by Weescotslass Creations. You can get her masks at weescotslass creations: Masks

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

 

Let's Begin:

Open element 71. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Make your canvas large enough to give you lots of room to work with. You can crop and resize at the end when we are done.

Resize the element by 115% to make it larger.

Open paper 3. Copy and paste as a new layer and drag under your element. Resize this also by 115% to make it larger.

I colorized the paper to match my tube but this is completely up to you.

Apply your mask of choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to the element.

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

Resize as needed. Remember to adjust sharpen.

Add the same drop shadow that you added to the element.

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.
