Love has no Expiration Date

Hi there PSP addicts :).. In this tutorial I used a 

beautiful ©Zindy tube. You can find her art at her STORE.  You must have her license to use her artwork.  Mine is Zindy #1453. The scrapkit used is a PTU kit by  WD Designz ' Lovely '

Sold at Zindy's Shop also.

Mask used  WSL_Mask362

1. Open an 800 x 800 new image

2. Open frame 9 that's in the kit   Copy and paste the frame onto your new image window. Close original. You don't have to resize, it's already the perfect size.

3. Choose which bkg paper you want to use as a mask layer..

 I used paper 14 . Copy and paste it onto your working image. Drag its layer down below the frame layer on the layer palette.

4. Apply the mask WSL_Mask262 to the bkg paper.

merge mask layers..Have it showing bottom right. Refer to main image 

5. Now use which ever elements you'd like to use. Arranging as you like.  I put text inside the frame area.. I had to do one or two words at a time to get them placed like I wanted.. Copy and paste the tube you're using. Don't forget the copyright info on the tag..

When you're done arranging.. you merge visible layers and save as a .png

That's it.. Toodles till next time.

Zindy's Dream of Love

This tutorial takes a basic knowledge of PSP.

Merge/ merge group

4. Copy and paste your tube of the woman, move it to right side..refer to my finished tag. Apply a 3d drop shadow.. V & H 2, 90 opacity, 10 blur, color black. I use the same shadow setting to all the elements. 

5. Open frame 5 from the kit. Resize 40%, copy and paste into the working image. Apply a drop shadow. 6. The tube comes as a .psd one of the layers is an image layer.. looks like the girl in a frame. Copy and paste it into the working image window. Resize 80%.

Drag the image layer of the girl, below the frame 

6. Use your selection tool and draw a selection around the frames opening.

Invert and making sure your on the image layer select cut/delete.You should have the girl just inside the frame.. merge/ merge down.

7. Go to Image/rotate/free rotate. Click rotate direction right, free (20.00) have it checked the rotate single layer around canvas.

8. position it as shown above.

9. Open the red, greyish and blk with dots roses..

You know imagination is key to making tags.. this is just a 'suggestion' as to how to build this tag.. try different things.. be creative!!

Toodles till next time.

Gothic Heart

Hi there.. I used the lovely work of Zindy in this tag..

I think this is a lovely scrapkit that you can purchase with the tubes. You can purchase it HERE. 

I also used the animation of  Lovey's Shack. The animation is called  SoftPinkHearts-MNG-Lovey.mng  they don't really look pink.. more like white.. there were red ones too.. but they just didn't look as good.

1. Open a new image 900 x 900.

2. Pick the bkg paper you want and apply a Mask on it.. I used WSL_Mask 362 which you can find at Weescotslass' Blog 

3. The background in the frame was the one that came with Zindy's Tube.. I just used deform tool and pulled it out some, so that it fit the frame.

4. You 'build' the tag just like in the previous tutorial.(doing the back layer to front) Doing the mask layer first..add the dots element.. the bkg from tube, the frame, girl, ivy, word art, flower , heart, the Love word art. Don't forget your 3d drop shadows.. and the copyright info. Arrange it all like you want.. merge/visible, when you get it just like you like... re size it 75% or so. 

BTW..about putting copyright info on tags etc...even when you re size something you are suppose to be able to read the copyright info.. but don't make it so huge that that is FIRST thing you see on a tag... that's very unsightly I think. Just my opinion there.

5. Click on top of window..Copy , over to animation shop and right click , paste as a new animation.. You duplicate the tag so that you have 16 frames OR how ever many frames the animation you picked has.

Select all the frames.. in both the new tag animation and the heart animation... click, hold and drag on the frame 1 of the heart animation and drag it over to the frame 1 new tag animation.. NOT letting go of the mouse button till you get it placed just where you want the animation on the tag.. then let go of the mouse button.. View your animation now and check to see if it looks right..Ctrl+Z if it isn't on both windows..start over if it isn't, If its OK then.. SAVE AS a .gif.. You're done!! I hope you enjoy doing the tutorial... if you have any questions feel free to write me..click on bug :)

Pink Zindy

For this tutorial I used Zindy's Tube 'Your Angel'  you can purchase her HERE..make sure you use your license # when you use her.

I made all the elements for this tutorial. Everything included in the supplies zip but the tube.

SUPPLIES

I made this tag in Photoshop CS5... if you don't have it...it can certainly be made in your PSP. I'm not going to be going through detail.. on how to use PS-CS 5 at this time.. this is assuming you know your way around photoshop..

1. Open a new image 900 x 900 . Copy and paste the pink paper that's in the supplies zip. You can apply a mask to the paper if you'd like.. being I was in Photoshop I used one of my grunge brushes on the bkg... in black..stamping it around where I wanted,  then while on that layer.. click the FX at bottom right and do a pattern overlay on it using the bkg paper in supplies as a pattern.

2. I included both the dot line and the circle of dots.. if you'd like to make the circle yourself.. I will show you how.

open your dot line.. go to image/canvas size and enlarge it to 3" x 3"  or 1200 x 1200... that's just to give you room to use

Mura Meisters/ Copies

3. Might have to resize your dots  by Ctrl + T in Photoshop or Image/resize in PSP.. as a %. I love Photoshop's transform tool.. it doesn't make the graphic blurry.. in anyway... can twirl in any direction.. in PSP the transform tool always blurs the item.

4. Set the dots in the center.. open the Copies plugin

and use these settings, referring to the capture below.

5. Place the circle dots on top of the Masked Paper layer.. next you place the frame... flowers, halftone splatters and bow the way you'd like..

6. On the Zindy tube.. I applied a drop shadow and also.. an outter glow in pink.. I show how in photoshop.

7. Below I applied a drop shadow to the bow.

That should be it for you.. when you get it all arranged like you'd like... don't forget your copyright info for the tube..(sorry I know I sound like magpie all the time about copyright but we gotta be careful) Merge/Visible and save as a PNG . Feel free to resize it now.

If you have any questions feel free to write me, click on the kitty

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial
