Nostalgic~FTU

For this tutorial you will need a working knowledge of PSP. I use PSP 9.

Supplies: I have used a stunning scrapkit from Doris here
Thank you for so many wonderful shares!
Tube of Choice: I am using a beautiful tube from Maxine Gadd which you will need a licence to use. Those tubes are sold here
Mask of Choice: I am using one of the many I've collected over the years. If you recognise it please let me know so I can give proper credit for it.
Thank you all for sharing your talent with us!
Fonts of Choice: Onyx and Pixelette

Now before we start remember that this tut is only a guide, your imagination and talent will make this tag your own!

Open a New Layer 650x650 white or depending on your forum you may choose to x out the background and we will resize later.
Choose a paper, I used paper 6 and copy and paste that as a new layer.
Go to Layers-Load/Save Mask-load mask from disk, choose your mask, preferably something like a swirl. Merge group.

I then added frame 3. With your tube of choice copy and paste. Now click inside your frame,
modify-expand by 6 Invert and then hit delete and make sure you are on the tube layer when you do this.
Move your tubes below the frame layer. Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Add your embellishments of choice and add your drop shadows. I also added a doodle underneath the frame and then on top and I erased most of it, so it looks like it's overlapping the frame.

I now resize my tag to about 585x585 and then add copyrights. Add your name and x out the background if you wish and save as a PNG or a JPEG and you are done!!

Thank you for trying out my tut any similiarities to any other tuts is by coincidence only or great minds think alike..lol
If you'd like to show off your tag email me cutiepie_2468@hotmail.com I'd love to see what you've created.
