Sew Your Mouth Shut

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 is by Queen Uriel. She is called Ms Buttons. You must have a license to use this artwork. You can purchase Carolina’s awesome tubes at Home - Queen-Uriel's Art & PSP Tube Store (queenuriel.com)

Scrap Kit is by Wicked Diabla Designs. It is called Ms Buttons also. You can purchase this kit at Welcome To Wicked Diabla Designs, For All Your Tagging Needs

Font of your choice. I am using Mouse Moon.

Mask of your choice. I am using Mask #451 by Vix. You can find her at Vix PSP

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

Mura Meister Copies – Encircle

Penta Jeans

 

Let's Begin:

Open element 25. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Resize to a size you are happy with.

Open element 88 and resize to a fairly small size. I went 50% and then 60%. Using the Mura Meister Copies filter apply using the encircle option but change the top number in the encircle settings to 15 which will bring the balls of yarn closer together.

Move this layer under the pentagram layer.

On the top layer go to adjust blur gausian blur and set it to 10.

Change the properties of this layer to screen.

Add a slight drop shadow to the bottom layer.

Open paper 12. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 75%. Drag to the bottom. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Duplicate the mask. On the bottom mask layer apply Penta Jeans using the default settings.

On the top layer go to adjust blur gaussian blur at 10 and change the properties of this layer to screen.

Add a drop shadow to the top pentagram layer.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer at the top.

Resize as needed.

Duplicate the tube layer and we are going to blur and screen it just like you did the yarn and mask layers. Add a drop shadow to the bottom tube layer.

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.
