The Pirate
Code
Written on

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 work of Dilara. This tube is called Cassandra and can be
purchased at www.elegancefly.com
The scrap kit
is by Wicked Diabla Designs and is called The Pirate Code. You can purchase
this kit at www.wickeddiabladesigns.com
Font of your
choice. I am using Horstail.
Mask of your
choice. I am using a mask by Vix. This is Big Mask 018.
Plugins:
(plugins are most generally optional)
Let's Begin:
Open element
85 from the kit and resize as you wish. Make sure it is centered in the canvas.
Make your canvas large enough to work with. You can always crop and resize when
you are done. I prefer larger tags and that is why I say resize things to your
liking as not everyone makes or likes the larger tags.
Using your
magic wand select the inside of the frame. Selections modify and expand by 8.
Layers new
raster layer. Drag this new layer under the frame layer.
Open paper 3
and copy and paste into selection on the new raster layer. Selections select
none.
Add a drop
shadow of your choice to the frame.
Open paper 11
and copy and paste as a new layer. Drag to the bottom and resize as you wish.
Apply your
mask to this layer. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.
Open your tube
and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize as needed. Don’t forget to sharpen
after resizing so you don’t lose any of the details. Place to the right side of
the frame. Add the drop shadow of your choice.
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.
Elements I
used:
1
30
31
37

Add any
additional elements that you wish.
Add your name.
Add your
copyright and license information.
Crop and
resize if you wish.
Save your tag.
If you would
like to make yours into a 3 piece set as I have simply create an avatar using
papers from the kit and the tube.
For the banner
piece I simply took elements from the tag. Resized them and arranged similar to
how they were in the tag.
Thanks for
trying my tutorial.
