Any resemblance to any other tutorial is a coincidence.
All my tutorials this included is for non profit and personal use only.
You may share a link with your groups to my tutorial but please do not share my supplies.
Supplies needed:
PSP I used PSP 9 but you can use any PSP program
2 Fonts of choice, one for copy write and one for name on tag.
Preset Shape called SK Stamps 03 I don't remember where I got these so if it is yours please let me know so I can give you credit. You can get them HERE
Place the Preset Shapes in your Preset Shapes folder.
Tube of choice. I used Ash Evans 30-1 tube which you can get at CDO HERE
I also used the following PTU Scrapkit, but you can use any kit you want to.
Sophisticat Simone "Claire" at CDO
HERE
I am assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
Drop Shadow Setting:
V & H 2
Opacity 70
Blur 10
Color Black
Ok Lets Start
Open a New Image 800 X 800
Go to View Rulers and make sure your ruler is on or y ou can use the shortcut CTRL+ALT+R
Preset Shape Tool > Preset Shape > Choose one of the stamp Presets I used Preset SK Stamps 03
with the following settings
Anti-Alias checked Line Style Solid Line Width 3 ( you can play with this and make it as thin or thick as you wish)
Change your colors on your color palate Use colors from your tube. I used the following colors
Foreground #514135
Background #A67555
Draw Stamp starting at 50 / 150 and draw it out to 550/550
Object Align Center on Canvas.
Layer Convert to Raster Layer
Open your tube of choice, copy and go to your tag workspace and paste as a new layer.
If you used the same tube as I did then Resize 85%
Duplicate and move duplicate under the stamp frame
Add drop shadow with above settings to both tube layers.
Click on the stamp frame layer and using your magic wand with the settings:
Mode :Add Shift MatchMode RGB Tolerance 0 Contiguous checked Feather 0
Click inside the Stamp frame then Selection Expand 3 then Selection Invert
Click on the bottom tube layer that is under the frame and hit delete.
Select None
Move up to your top tube layer and using the eraser tool with the settings:
Square Size 150 Hardness 100 Step 1 Density 100 Thickness 100 Rotation 0 and Opacity 100
Your going to erase the bottom part of the tube that is overflowing onto the stamp frame.It doesn't matter if you get a bit of the fox because that is why we have the bottom tube layer :)
This is the easiest way that I know how to allow parts of the tube show over the frame or object underneath. See I wanted the foxes head and ears left above the frame.
Add a background paper from your scrapkit of choice and arrange send to bottom.
using magic wand again with same settings click inside the frame again and selection > modify > expand 3 and Selection Invert
Go back to your background layer and hit delete.
ok now this is where you add any elements from whichever scrapkit you are using. layer them aroiund your frame in whatever placement you wish and add a drop shadow with above settings to each element.
once you are done then merge > merge layers
Resize 70% and make sure the Resize all layers is checked.
Adjust > Brightness and Contrast > Clarify Setting 2
Add your copy write and name(s) to your tag and save a a png.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Size used 8 and color used 15555A I also added a slight Gradient Glow with EyeCandy 4000 colorC5F6DA settings Glow Width 3 Soft Corners 25 and Overall Opacity 100
I am assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
Drop Shadow added to all layers unless I say not to.
Drop Shadow Setting:
V & H 2
Opacity 70
Blur 10
Color Black
Ok Lets Start
Open new image 800 x 800
Open Paper 8 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 90% and Resize 90% again.
Right click on the layer and choose New Mask Layer , From Image, Go to Source Window and choose Simone Mask #69, Right click on layer and click Merge Group.Double Click on this layer and the Layers Property Box Opens Rename this layer Background 1 and change Opacity to 75
Open Paper 2 , copy and paste as a new layer Resize this layer 90% and again Resize 90%, go to Image and mirror. Double click on this layer and Layer Property Box opens and rename this layer Background 2. Right Click on layer and choose New Mask Layer, From Image, Go to Source Window and choose Simone Mask #60. Now go to Arrange, Move Down and this mask layer should be below Background 1 layer.
Now we are going to build up the tag by using elements.
This is where you start adding Drop Shadow unless otherwise told not to.
Open Element 22 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 60% and add the drop shadow to it. Move it down to the bottom of the tag. See my position for placement.
Open Element 21 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 55% and add
the drop shadow to it. Move it down to the bottom of the tag and offset the previous element. See my
position for placement.
Right click on layer and Merge, Merge Down.
Open Element 103 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50%. Do NOT add a drop shadow to this element. Right click on layer and duplicate and on the duplicate layer go to Image, Mirror then Merge, Merge Down.
Open Element 84, copy and paste as a new layer, Do NOT add a drop shadow to this element. Arrange , Move Down and Arrange, Move down again. Right click and Duplicate layer, on duplicate layer Image, Mirror
Open Element 49 copy and paste as a new layer Do Not add Drop Shadow to this element
Open Element 12, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50% Do NOT add drop shadow.
Open Element 17, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 75% Do NOT add a drop shadow. Arrange towards bottom at the edge of the rocks.
Open Element 23 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50% , Add Drop Shadow and place on the left side of the tag.
Open Element 71 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50% , Add Drop Shadow and place on the Right side of the tag.
Open Element 64 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 65% , Add Drop Shadow . Arrange, Move Down and position slightly to the right side of the tag.
Open Element 90 , copy and paste as a new layer , Add Drop Shadow and place slightly to the left behind the other plant
Open Element 3 , copy and paste as a new layer. Add Drop Shadow and place in the middle of the tag.
Open Element 91 , copy and paste as a new layer. Add Drop Shadow and Arrange, Move Down ( repeat the Arrange Move Down step 4 times)
Now some baubles, I used Elements 109,110,and 70 which are shells and resized them all 50% and added the Drop Shadow to them and place them where you want them.
I did not use any of the fish because I had Seahorses from Caron Vinson but if you do not use her tubes or do not have the Seahorses then by all means add some fish.
If you did use Caron Vinson's Seahorses then resize them by 65% and weave then into the layers where they look good. As you see I put them behind some plants and in front of others so I can still see them. Do add the drop shadow to them.
Caron has alot of mermaids and you can use any of them or any other tube, however if you use the same tube that I did then you need to Resize to your taste. I didnt resize much I think it was 75% or something like that.
Now your thinking this tag is hugeeee! Because we started at 800 x 800 but we are going to fix that.
First click on the eye for Raster 1 and make it invisible and then Merge all visible layers.
Resize Merged layers 80%. Reopen your Raster 1 layer by clicking the eye again and flood fill with white.
Now you can see the edges of the Mask's we used. We are going to fix that. Make sure your on your Merged layer and go to Eraser tool with the following settings:
Choose Round
Size 70
Hardness 50
Density 50
Now just click on the Merged Layer where you see the extra mask at the edges. It will take several times clicking as we dropped the settings so we don't erase parts of the tag. If you see you hit to close to your tag then, undo and proceed again. I am showing you before and after images of my tag, so you can see what it should look like at the end.
Before
After Mask is cleaned up
Now once you have your Mask background cleaned up.
Go to your Crop Button and use the following settings:
Width 685 height 661 pixels
Left 70 Top 77 Right 755 Bottom 738
Double click on your image and that will complete the crop.
Now you can delete Raster 1 which is the white background
Resize your Image 87% and make sure that all layers is checked this time.
Adjust Sharpness, Sharpen
Adjust Brightness & Contrast, Clarify with Strength of 2. This is the setting for this I like but you can play around with it if you wish.
Ok now add your copy right and then your name and save as a png file and you are done.
I hope you liked this tutorial. I try to do that step by step so you don't get lost.
You can always email me at shell.wright@gmail.com with any questions or anything.

Intellectual Bad Ass
Intellectual BadAss
Shell's Template 03 PSD is HERE and PSP is HERE
Tube of Choice I used PinupToons which is a PTU Artist and you can get that at CDO HERE
2 fonts of choice for Copy write and name on tag
I am using pixelate for copy write and Predacon Beasts for Name on tag.
Mask_0030_DFly by Vivian by Vivian's Paintbox You can get that HERE and please visit the rest of her blog
Open template and Mask in your psp.
drop mask down you will need it later.
CTRL + D on template and close the original out to save.
Working on the template go to Image, Canvas and make your canvas size 700 x 700 with the middle box selected to center the template.
If you want to change parts of the template they are all on separate layers so you can do so if you want. I wrote this tutorial using the template as is.
Open up the tube you wish to use.
Copy and paste it on your template and resize as needed and place on the template move it to where you want it.. I moved mine so the Words We Prefer the term Intellectual BadAss could be seen.
Add drop shadow 2 2 50 8 to the tube.
Now I wrote this as a Old School Tutorial without scraps, however, you can add whatever you want to to this tag. If you are adding scrap items do it now with any drop shadows you wish on them.
Merge Visible and Name this layer Main
Make a new Raster layer
We are going to add a gradient flood fill to this layer.
I used the colors #ED1F20 foreground and #2A1EB3 background. Choose Foreground-background for the color choice under the gradient and then choose Linear with settings Angle 45 Repeats 2 and flood fill your new raster layer.
Go to Layers, New Mask Layer, From Image and choose Mask_0030_DFly from the dropdown menu and make sure the sorce luminance is choosen click ok.
Right click on your mask layer in your layer palette and choose Merge Group
Rename this layer background
You should now have 2 layers Main on top and Background under that
ok now hit Shift + S and this is the same as choosing Image resize and you are going to resize by 85% and make sure the All Layers box is checked.
Now highlight your Main layer and hit Shift + S again and resize 90% but this time make sure resize all layers is unchecked.
Now you can merge all layers and I always do this to make the tag clearer after I do a resize.
Go to Adjust, Sharpen, Unsharpen Mask and use the following settings
Radius 1 Strength 130 Clippings 0 and Luminance checked.
Back to Adjust , Brightness/Contrast , Clarify settings Strength & Effect 2 that is the setting I prefer but play around and see what one you like.
Add your copy write to the tag and merge all layers again.
now you can add Name and you are finished.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and if you have any questions or comments please email me at shell.wright@gmail.com
