Now using your clone tool clone parts of your tube into the selected area on the brand-new layer. Once you are happy selections select none. Lower the opacity of this layer to 50.

Make your gradient layer active and using your soften brush go around the edges and soften the gradient so it doesn’t look so harsh around the edges.

Add a drop shadow to the frame layer.

Open the grass from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size so it fits nicely along the bottom of the frame. Add a drop shadow.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size so she is just slightly larger than the tag at this point. Place on the far-right side. Add a drop shadow.

If you want your tag to look just like mine them 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:

The scrap kit is by Disturbed Scraps. It is called Mechanical Hearts. You can purchase it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25761

Mask of your choice. I am using one by Kisses and Dreams. You can get it at http://kissesndreams.blogspot.ca/2015/01/freebie-heart-mask.html

Font of your choice. I am using Steamwreck which you can download at http://www.fontspace.com/pixel-sagas/steamwreck

Plugins:

NONE

Let's Begin:

Open paper 3 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Apply the mask. Delete the mask layer and merge the group. Add a drop shadow of 0 0 100 11.50 and the dark color from the paper. Open paper 14 and repeat but when adding your drop shadow use a purple from the paper. Move this mask down and to the right a bit.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed so she is just larger than the mask layers. Move to the right side more so than the left. Duplicate the tube layer. On the top copy go to adjust blur Gaussian blur and apply a blur of 11. Lower the opacity of this layer to 45. Add a drop shadow to the bottom tube layer of 6 -5 100 10.50 black.

Now we are going to put some text on a path. Using your elipse preset shape. Set your foreground color to whatever color you like. It doesn’t matter as we will delete this layer anyhow. Turn off the background color. Set the width of the elipse shape to 1.00. Draw out a circle around the outside edges of the mask layer. 

Now select the font you want to use and the color or I used paper 7 for mine. Place your text tool up on the elipse shape until you get the A with the line under it and then begin typing whatever it is you want. I placed part of my text around the top left side and then I wanted some along the bottom so I flipped my elipse shape vertical. This will turn the text right side up. And placed the rest of my text along the bottom. Promote your text layers to a raster layer. Add a drop shadow. Delete the elipse shape layer when you are done.

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.

This adorable lil guy is an exclusive for Scraps N Company and is part of the Perfect Love Collab that you can get at Scraps N Company for free by spending $13.50 in store. There are tons of goodies in this collab and well worth the money spent.

The kit is by Jens Sweet Temptations and is also part of the above collab. This kit is jam packed with lots of amazing elements!!!

Drop shadow used throughout:

2 2 60 5.50 black

Let's Begin:

Open the tag template and shift+D to duplicate and then close the original. This is so you can use it again if you wish. Now delete the following layers from the template: credits, hearts 2, hearts 1 and background. Make your canvas large enough to work with.

Merge together the Purple Rect 2 and Purple Rect 1. Selections select all float and defloat. Open paper 6 from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Selections invert and hit delete. Selections select none. Delete the original layer that the rectangles are on. Add a drop shadow to this new layer.

Make the circle layer active and selections select all float and defloat. Layers new raster layer. Make a gradient using 2 colors from your tube. Set the angle to 45 and repeats 4. Flood fill your new layer with this gradient. Selections select none. Delete the original circle layer. Add a drop shadow to your new circle layer.

Make the dotted circle layer active and add noise at 55%.  Add your favorite inner bevel. Add a drop shadow to this layer.

Merge together the top and bottom pink stripe layers. Selections select all float and defloat. Open paper 5 and copy and paste as a new layer. Selections invert and hit delete. Selections select none. Delete the original stripe layer. Add a drop shadow to this new layer.

Make the rectangle layer active. Selections select all float and defloat. Open paper 7 and copy and paste as a new layer. Selections invert and hit delete. Selections select none. Delete the original layer. Add a drop shadow to this new layer.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until just slightly smaller than the circle part of the tag template. Place so he is centered in the tag template. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 27 and copy and paste as a new layer. Place so it is at the top of the tag slightly higher than the circle in the template. Layers arrange send to bottom. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate and move this duplicate to the bottom so it is just slightly below the circle in the template. If you like to keep your layers organized like I do go ahead and merge these 2 layers together.

Repeat the above steps with element 34 but make sure this one is on top of the last one.

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.

Time For Love

Written 1/18/2017

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 them 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 Mariel Designs called Perfect Love. She was created for the Perfect Love Collab at Scraps N Company. You can get this entire collab free with your $13.50 purchase. Check out the collab at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=587_144&products_id=25373

The scrap kit I used is also called Perfect Love and is by Chili Designz. This kit is also part of the awesome collab.

Font of your choice. I am using Saldina. This is a PTU font.

Plugins:

NONE

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 30 3.00 black

Let's Begin:

Open frame 2 from the kit. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Re-size if you wish. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Using your magic wand select the inside of all sections of the frame. Selections modify and expand by 5. Layers new raster layer and drag under the frame. Open paper 1 and copy and paste into selection. Selections select none. Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until she is just barely bigger than the frame. Move to where she is standing between the main part of the frame and the 2 smaller parts to the right. Add a drop shadow.

Open the floor element from the kit. Copy and paste as a new layer. Drag to the bottom. Move to the bottom of the frame as we are going to make the tube stand on it.  Re-size until it just slightly larger than the frame on both sides. Now if you notice there are some pretty sharp lines and angles and we want to get rid of those. There are 2 ways you can do this. Use your eraser tool and set your hardness down to about 25 and the opacity to about 4. The size to medium to large and just around the edge and erase some of the bits and get rid of the straightness. The second way is to use your freehand selection tool set to freehand and just draw around the edges in an imperfect manner. Selections invert and hit delete. You can use your eraser again to get rid of any sharpness or you can use your soften tool. Just check out the tools in psp they are pretty handy.

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.
