This tutorial was written by me on August 26, 2011,

and is written for those with a working knowledge of PSP.

It is written using PSP9, however, any version will do.

Please do not alter my tuts, or copy & paste them to any websites, blogs, or forums.

You may however, provide a link to the tut on my site.

This tutorial is my own creation, and any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.

Materials Needed:

Tube of choice. I am using a beautiful tube by Keith Garvey.

To use this tube you will need to purchase a license HERE.

Awesome Scrap kit by Jill, it is called CSD August Challenge and can be found HERE.
For other gorgeous kits by Jill, you can also visit her store HERE.

I used 2 masks for this tag. The first dmsk0025 and can be found HERE.

The other mask is WSL_84 and can be found HERE.

Font I used is Feel Script (PTU, sorry can't supply)

A Special Thank You to Jill for the awesome freebie scrap kit.

Let’s get started:

Remember to save often!

Open a new canvas 600 x 600, and flood fill white.

Copy and paste your frame, (element2) as a new layer.

Resize if needed. Duplicate this layer, and close off the duplicate for now.

On the bottom frame layer, copy and paste your tube as a new layer.

Add a drop shadow to your tube, and arrange where you want it on your tag.

Unhide your duplicated frame layer.

Using your selection tool, select the top half of your frame, and hit delete on your keyboard. This should remove the top part of frame so it will look like your tube is coming out of the frame.

Back on the original frame layer, using your magic wand, click inside the circle of your frame. Selection- Modify- Expand by 5.

Copy and paste paper 1 as a new layer. Resize the paper by 80%. Selections- Invert- Delete. Move this paper below your frame. Add a drop shadow to your bottom frame layer.

Now copy and paste your elements, resize and arrange around your tag where you would like to put them. Add a drop shadow to each element as you go.

Copy and paste element 4 (the wire) and duplicate it 3 times, so you have 4 copies of it.

Move each copy and arrange so that your whole canvas is covered in the wire.

Right click on each layer and merge down, until all layers are merged together.

Add a drop shadow to this layer.

Move this layer just to bottom of layer palette, just above white backgound.

Now go to Layers- New mask layer- From image

Locate dmsk0025 in the drop menu and apply.

In layers palette, right click on mask layer and merge group. Resize by 110%.

Copy and paste paper 2 above background layer (under your wire layer).

Layers- New mask layer- From image

Locate WSL_84 in the drop menu and apply.

In layers palette, right click on mask layer and merge group.

Using your raster deform tool, stretch this mask layer to just around the edges of your canvas.

Now resize your tag. Add copyright and name.

Thank you for trying my tutorial.

Find the elements that you want to use in your tag, resize as needed, and place them around your tag. Add a drop shadow to each element as you place it.

You can use my tag for reference if you would like to.

If you want to crop and resize your tag, now is the time to do so.
