~Supplies~
*PSP - any version, I use X
*B&W Tube of choice - I've used an adorable black and white fairy by
artist Rebecca
Sinz, which you can purchase at
AMI.
Please don't use without a license. Before you
greyscale a tube - be sure it's in the artist's TOU that this is
allowed.
*Texture of Choice - I've used one from
In The Name Stock & I would recommend you
look at her work before you choose another. They're amazing and her
TOU are very
generous.
*Brushes of choice - I've included the ones I've made that I used,
but feel free to use
any you have.
*Quote of choice - Choose this before you choose your texture
because it sets the
theme for your entire tag.
*Font of choice - I've used Love, a pay font.
*My
zip file - include sparkle, notepaper background, & snow owl
brush (put in your brush folder).
~♥~Let's Begin~♥~
this is so easy you're going to wonder why you've
never blended before, in fact you probably have
1. Open a new transparent image 650x550 - Selections - select all -
c/p into your
selection your texture - select none.
2. Open your tube - grayscale if needed - c/p as a new layer
resizing as needed -
change blend mode to hard light (or play with the blend modes and
see what fancies
you best) - place as desired.
3. Add your quote if using one, as well as any brushes. I've used
the snow owl &
sparkle brushes that I've included in my zip file and the deer which
I can't share I'm
afraid. Play with your blend modes and watch your scales (sizes) on
everything.
When adding a quote to a tag, you must add the person who said the
quote just as
you must add your artist's copyright to a tag. It's the same thing
:).
4. Once you're happy with your image - merge visible. Resize by 80%
- c/p this
image onto Artmama-notepaper found in the zip file - add d/s 2, 2,
47, 6.00 with color
#1f1b18. Or you can add a frame to it, add borders, a mask - there
are so many
things you can do with a blended tag that I've only touched the
surface with with this
tutorial.
5. Add your name, your artist's copyright information and that is it
my friends, you're
done!!
