This tutorial was written by and copyrighted to Seven on 22th June 2010.
Some monthes a go I saw a taggie which looks nearly the same and I fell in love with it. *lol*
I asked the owner of it if there's a tut and she said no.
So I decided (and asked) if it's okay to made a tag (tut) which looks a bit like this but mostly with some of my ideas in it and I got the o.k. :)
Thank you so much Kathy!!! ♥
For this tutorial you will need:
- 2 small animal tubes (the ones I used are from the beautiful "Zoo Day" kit from Kristin Aagard)
- 2 fonts of your choice, a bigger one and a handwritten one (I used ToonRegular and DJBDiane)
- Mask of choice (I used WSL_Mask218 which you can get here)
- a pattern of your choice
Let's begin:
- Open a new canvas 500 x 350 px (if your name is longer you maybe have to use a larger width).
- Choose a darker colour for your foreground and a lighter colour for your background.
- Add a new raster layer and fill it with your lighter colour.
Apply your mask.
- Choose your text tool and your bigger font.
Font size 100 and stroke size 2.
Write your name and change the vector layer into a raster lay.
- Selection - All - Free and expand the selection about 3.
- Add a new raster layer and fill it with white.
- Selection none.
- Move the white layer under your name layer and add a dropshadow.
- Merge these 2 layers visible.
- Highlight your name and click with your magic wand inside of every letter which are in your lighter color.
- Add a new raster layer and fill it with your pattern.
Change it to soft light and reduce the opacity to 25
- Selection none.
- Merge these two layers visible.
- Copy and paste your tubes, resize them and arrange them on your tag.
Add a small dropshadow to them.
- Use your text tool again.
Change your background to your darker colour (no foreground colour).
Font size 20.
- Write your first part of the text and arrange it over your name.
Add a dropshadow.
- After this write your second part of the text and arrange it under your name.
Dropshadow it.
- Merge all visible.
- At least just add copyright info and/or watermark and save as.
Ready! ♥
