Open up the frame that's supplied in the kit and go to image resize to 500 hit ok. Image free rotate free rotate left by 90.00 and hit ok. Choose one of the papers from the kit and minimize it for now. With Your magic wand on the frame layer hold down the shift key on your keyboard and click above and under the bow inside the frame. Selections modify expand by 7. With that paper You chose go to edit copy and paste as new layer over your frame and go to selections invert and hit your delete key on your keyboard. Now slide that layer under your frame layer. Now with your misted tube copy and paste as a new layer and click the delete key on your keyboard. Selections select none. now put the misted tube layer's blend mode onto Luminance (L) and the opacity to 18 or however it looks best to you. If You have a blend emboss filter You like to use You could use it on the misted tube or not. It looks good with or without it to Me.

On the misted tube layer go to xero porcelain and use the default settings. I did it a few times to make my tube layer look a bit more softened.

With either the tube You chose or Mine edit copy and paste as a new layer to Your canvas. If Mine You will need to go to image resize by 70 percent all layers unchecked. Now place Her where You like the look of it. Go to effects texture effects blinds and use the following settings width 2 opacity 10 color black and both boxes under the color checked.Go to Effects 3D effects drop shadow and put these settings on both the lady tube and the frame layer vertical and horizontal offsets to 0 opacity at 100 blur 5.00 and color black.Put Your tubes blend mode to luminance(L).

With Your word art edit copy and paste as a new layer place the blend mode onto soft light and again You could use that emboss filter if You chose to or leave it as it is.

I used the font Love Light Rob which is a pay font sorry I can't share it. I chose a dark color for My background and turned off My foreground and typed out My name. I used a drop shadow with these settings vertical and horizontal 2 opacity 50 the blur 5.00.

Just resize Your image and add the copyright save as png and your all done.

Template here.
The one I used came from Bel Vidotti and if You scroll down the
page You will find it.
This was a new template challenge the ladies of Misfits Forum
did.
Please leave some love when downloading the template.

Open the tube and template in psp and minimize the tube. Image canvas size 700. I always make My canvas bigger so that I can see what I'm doing easier. Delete the copyright layer as We won't be needing it now. In Your materials palette choose two colors from the tube. A dark and light color or even use another that might look good with the tag.

On the rectangle layer go to selections select all selections float selections defloat. Layers new raster layer and flood fill the layer. Don't deselect yet. Layers new raster layer and and go to selects modify expand by 5 and flood fill that new raster layer with your lighter color. Now You can deselect. Go to effects edge effects enhance. I did this twice but it's a personal choice. I just liked the look. On this same layer go to effects Xero Fritillary and use the default settings. Effects 3D Effects drop shadow vertical and horizontal on 2 opacity 100 blur 5 and color black.

On the Misfit word layer selections select all selections float selections defloat layers new raster layer in your materials palette change the repeats to 3 and flood fill the new layer. Effects texture effects blinds width 2 opacity 10 color black horizontal and light from left/top checked. Use the same drop shadow you used on the rectangle gradient layer.

Click on your magic wand and in the layer palette choose the upper rec and lower rec layers while pressing shift and making sure both are selected. Layers new raster layer flood fill them with your gradient after putting the graident to 0 repeats. Delete the upper and lower rec layers leaving the one you filled and effects edge effects enhance and then giving it that same drop shadow.

In Your materials palette change the gradients repeat to 3 again and then click on your magic wand and in your layer palette while holding shift down again and choose the squares. Layers new raster layer and flood fill both layers with the gradient and repeat all the above steps.

On the upper and lower dotted line go to effects Alf's Power Tools
color abs and move all three settings to 255 on both those layers. Add the same drop shadow only put the vertical and horizontal to 0. Now add Your close up tube to the rectangle layer erasing any excess that might hang over the bottom adding the same drop shadow you gave to the dotted line's layers.

With Your text tool type out your name. I added a slight gradient glow with my Eye Candy the setting 3.oo and on the color tab I put it at medium and white and then added the same drop shadow I used for my tube and line layers.

Add any elements and Your copyright resize if You need to and Your all done.

Tube of choice if You so desire. I wanted to make a tag without
one for a change.
Eyecandy 400 gradient glow. Not a free filter sorry. You can get
it here.

On Your template Do a shift+D to duplicate it and then in the
layer's palette delete the copyright layer. We wont' be needing it
any longer and then close the original template.and then go to
image resize canvase and resize it by 700. I know it's big but you
can resize it later if You need to.

In Your layer palette choose the large cirle layer. Selections
select all float selections defloat and then find a paper you like
from the kit and paste it as a new layer ontoyour
canvas.Selections invert and then hit your delete key on Your
keyboard.Selections select none and on Your new layer go to
effects eye candy 4000 gradient glow with the following settings
glow width white the other settings on this tab set to default and
then draw only outside checked. On the color tab use the fat
setting and your color white opacity at 100. Effects 3D effects
drop shadow vertical and horizontal 3 opacity at 5 blur 5.00 and
your color black. Now go back to the drop shadow and do it again
only change it to -3. Now delete the original circle layer.
In Your layer palette choose the diamond frame and go to
selections select all selections float selections defloat now add
a new raster layer by going to layer's new raster layer. Choose a
color from one of the papers or tube that you might be using and
fill this layer with it then go to selections select none and
delete the original diamond frame.Now on Raster 2 do the drop
shadow same settings only this time put the 3's on 2's. Delete the
original layer.

In Your layer palette choose the medium circle and go to
selections select all. selections float selections defloat and
choose another of the papers from your kit.Repeat the steps You
used for Your very first circle layer.Add the gradient glow in the
eye candy putting the fat setting to thin and click ok. Effects 3D
effects drop shadow with the same settings as the diamond layer
repeating it at -2 again.

In Your layer palette choose the small circle layer and go to
selections select all selections float selections defloat layers
new raster layer and flood fill with the same color you used for
your diamonds. Effects texture effects weave all numbers on 1
weave color black gap color white and fill gaps checked. Use the
same gradient glow you used on raster 3 and then the same drop
shadow only this time don't do it twice and delete your original
small circle layer.
Ok for the flowers layers what I chose to do was open the Alpha
Beads and took my colors from those. So on the largeflowerset1 go
to selections select all float selections defloat and go to layers
new raster layer and flood fill it with a color or gradient of
choice. Then using the same eye candy gradient glow and drop
shadows. You can do the shadows twice if you like or not. I just
think doing it twice with the negative numbers defines it much
more than without. Now delete Your original layer.
Now repeat these same steps for the rest of your flowers. You
could even play around with some of the built in textures of psp
as they would look nice. I just chose to leave them plain this
time.

For My text what I did was I opened up the alpha and used my
selections lasso tool and drew around the candy letters and copied
and pasted as a new layer to spell out my candy girl layer.I added
the same gradient glow and drop shadows as my other parts of the
tag.

Now open up the candy jar and copy and paste as a new layer to
your tag. Image resize by 40 percent make sure that resize all
layers are unchecked and place this down by the last flower or
wherever you like it. It doesn't matter. Be different and don't do
any of my tuts to the T because then you aren't trying to use your
creativity and that's what makes each of us unique.
Next what I did was I used them same buttons again and spelled out
Reina and then I went into my layer palette and merged down until the last letter was merged and then added the same gradient glow and drop shadow to the text layer. You could always use a font to type it out but I wanted it to be different than the ordinary tags We seem to always be making.Now just add any of the extra elements You like and place em around the tag and save. You are now done. If Your in a group where you have to use a copyright please use
LadyQueen and her blog's address. Thank You for trying My tutorial.

Broken Halo

What You need for this tut are:
The frame I used which You can find on Vix's blog site scroll under free elements and You will find I think about halfway down the page. You can get this here.
A mask of choice. Mine came from a group challenge and I don't know who made it so I can't share I'm sorry. Vix has some awesome masks on her site under goodies here.
Xero which is a free filter here.
Eye Candy 400 which is a pay to use filter which you can get here. You really don't need to use this as I only used it for the text and My halo tube from the kit and used it on the copyright layer because some of My groups use black backgrounds and this way it makes the text legible.
Font of choice. I used Bilbo which is a pay font You can find that here.
I used a scrap kit from Justine which was a PTU but You could use any scrap elements You wanted it would be just fine with this tut and just use my tutorial as a guide.You can find her kits here or check on the right side of My blog under My CT tags and click on the scrap shops link I have up.

Open Your mask and minimize it in Your psp then shift + D to duplicate frame image close original out with the eye dropper tool choose two colors from your tube or the frame.On your materials palette on the foreground color choose gradient angle 295 repeats 2 style linear.Layers new raster layer..Flood fill it with Your gradient. Layer's new mask layer from image. In the source window choose your mask that you minimized.In Your layer palette on Your mask layer merge and merge group I also chose to duplicate my mask layer so that it defined the butterflies a bit more. Adjust add remove noise add noise uniform noise 20 monochrome unchecked.

On Your frame layer use Your magic wand and while holding down the D on Your keyboard click in each frame's circle while the ants are marching go to selections modify expand by 3. Layers new raster layer and then flood fill it with your gradient. Selections select none. Layers new raster layer again use your magic wand on the frame circles and do as above.once done then go back to that new layer and flood fill it with your regular color.

Effects texture effects texture gap size 1 width 1 opacity 1 weave color black and gap color white fill gaps checked.In your layer palette put the blend mode onto soft light and lower the opacity by 57 or whatever looks good for you. Try to experiment and see what looks best to You. On Your frame layer go to effects 3D effects drop shadow vertical 2 horizontal 2 opacity 30 blur 10 I used a color from the frame for the shadow. Now repeat the drop shadow put the vertical and horizontal at -2.

In Your layer palette be sure all Your layers are below the frame layer. Now again use Your magic wand and click inside the frame layer's circles and go to selections modify expand by 8 and on your tube edit copy paste as a new layer..arrange it how you like.I used my full tube on the first two cirlces and then I went back to selections invert and on the tube layer I hit delete on my keyboard. I again with my magic wand clicked on my frame layer on the last frame and I pasted my tube and deleted it as the other layers all with the same steps.

Slide the tube layers down below your frame layer and then what I did on My tubes the first one I used radiance at the default settings and then porcelain 2 times on my remaining tube layer then I used a blinds effect and lowered the opacity of my first tube to 90 and left the other one as it was. Now add a drop shadow again to your tube layers but change the blur to 5 and the color black and again do the -2 too.

Now let's add our text so click on your text tool and type out Your name or whatever it is You wish on it and convert it to raster layer and add the same drop shadow twice. While My text was still in vector I stretched it out a bit to fit fully over my tag. But again this is choice.

Now all You have left is to add some of the elements of Your scrap and add Your copyright layer and Your good to go.
