Afraid Of Light

written 10/23/2015

This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to make your tag unique by using your own tube and scrap kit. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use the same tube and the same scrap kit. Use my tag for reference for placement of items.

Supplies Used:

Tube by Danny Lee. You can get it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_132_219&products_id=14813

Scrap Kit by Blissful Designs. You can get it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14818

Mask of your choice. I am using mask #134 by Millies PSP Madness. You can get it at http://milliespspmadness.blogspot.com/2015/09/mask-134-and-tag-w-verymany-and-pink.html

Template #10 by Dangerously Delicious Designz. You can get it in the Halloween Templates 1-10 on the left side of her blog at http://dangerouslydeliciousdesignz.blogspot.ca/

Font of your choice. I am using DJB Teacher for the text on a path. This is a PTU font so use whatever you like and for the name I used Feelscript which is also a PTU font.

Plugins:

Eye Candy 4000 or Eye Candy 5 Gradient Glow

Let's Begin:

Open the template and shift+D to duplicate.

Close the original.

Remove the following layers:

info, You drive me, Batty Black, Batty White, blue star and bg.

Merge together raster 9 and raster 11.

Move them up to the top left of the template

Make your canvas large enough to work with.

Starting with the green square layer.

Selections select all float and defloat.

Open paper 10 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Selection invert and hit delete.

Selections select none.

Delete the original green square layer.

Repeat the above steps with all layers except the orange square and the circles that we merged together.

On the orange square selections select all float and defloat.

Layers new raster layer.

Open paper 1 and copy and paste into selection.

Selections select none.

Delete the original orange square layer.

Now starting with the bottom layer apply a gradient glow in white of your choice on size and what not to each of the layers except the merged circles.

Then add a drop shadow to each layer.

Open paper 1 and copy and paste as a new layer and drag to the bottom.

Apply the mask of your choice.

Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Open your tube and re-size if needed.

Copy and paste as a new layer.

Position where you want.

Move the merged circles up behind her head but to the left of it.

Open element 68 and copy and paste as a new layer and re-size as needed but place it in the center of the merged circles to cover the green inside of it.

I chose to greyscale mine but that is completely up to you.

Now lets dress this tag up with some elements.

I will list the elements that I used and placement is up to you.

Unless you want your tag to look just like mine then use my tag for reference.

Elements used:

element 4

element 13

element 21

element 23

element 26 (I added noise to this element)

element 59

Add a drop shadow to all elements.

Using your pen tool and turning off your background color.

Draw a vector path across your tag up and down that we can add some text to.

Add the text of your choice.

Add your name.

Add your copyright and licensing information.

Crop and save.
