When You're Gone

When You’re Gone

Written 6/27/2016

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 the work of Marco Guaglione. I purchased this tube when he was selling at MPT when they were in business. As far as I know you can no longer purchase his work in psp tube form.

Scrap Kit is called Black and White by Amy Marie’s Kits. You can purchase this kit at http://amymarieskits.com/store/

Sparkle tubes of your choice. You can get some at http://www.hypergurl.com/sparklestubes.html

Font of your choice. I am using Great Vibes. You can get it at https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/great-vibes

Plugins:

NONE

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 100 12.00 black

Let's Begin:

Open element 40 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Re-size if you wish. This is going to be the base of your tag. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Using your magic wand select the inside of the frame. Selections modify and expand by 6. Layers new raster layer and drag under the frame. Open paper 11 and copy and paste into selection. Selections select none.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Center within the frame and erase any bits you do not want hanging out of the frame.

Add a drop shadow to both the frame and the tube.

Open element 42 and re-size by 75%. Copy and paste as a new layer and place in the lower left corner of the frame in front of your tube. Add a drop shadow.

Layers new raster layer. Apply some sparkle tubes to this layer over the black rose. I made a few and re-sized some of them.

Open element 70 and re-size by 75%. Copy and paste as a new layer and move to the bottom left corner in front of the rose. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 71 and re-size by 60%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move to the bottom and to the right of the glass. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 81 and copy and paste as a new layer. Drag to just above the rose. Move to the bottom of the frame. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 95 and re-size by 50% 2x. Copy and paste as a new layer and move to the stem of the rose. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 66 and re-size by 50% 2x. Copy and paste as a new layer and place wherever you want on the tag. Duplicate many times and move all over the tag. Once you are done add a drop shadow to all of them.

Add some wordart if you choose to.

Add your name.

Add your copyright and licensing information.
