Dark Moon

This tut is written for those with a basic knowledge of psp. I use psp 10.

Supplies needed:

Tube of choice.
I used the work of Brian Rood. Available for purchase from CILM

Scrap kit of choice.
I used Dark Of The Night from Gothic Inspirations. (She has awesome kits - you should check her out!)

Mask of choice.
I used Mask 27 from Urban Fairytales

----------------------

Let's get started :)

Gather your supplies and open your psp. Open a new file size 600 x 600 pixels. Flood fill with white.

Take paper of choice (I used paper 2), paste as a new layer.

Create new mask layer, make sure 'Invert mask data' is checked if you use the same mask as me. Merge layer group.

Select frame of choice and past as a new layer above the merged layer group. (I used frame Old, re sized to 80%). Use your magic wand select inside frame, go to selections - modify - expand - 4.

Take another paper and paste it as a new layer above the merged layer and below the frame. (I used the moon2 element) Invert selection (ctrl/shift/I) then hit delete, and select none (ctrl/D).

Paste your tube as a new layer above the frame. Re size to your liking. Apply drop shadow to your tube.

Paste word art element above your tube, position at bottom, apply drop shadow.

Click on frame layer go to Adjust - Sharpness - unsharpen mask - Radius 1, Strength 64, Clipping 4. Give frame drop shadow, merge layer down. Using your move tool, shift the frame to the right slightly to your liking.

Paste a journal element below frame layer. Depending on the size, you may want to use your move tool to shift it to the left slightly to make it visible. (I used journaling2). Give it a drop shadow.

Choose a few small elements or re size them - position them to your liking, apply drop shadow.

Crop and resize tag to your liking (if you prefer a smaller tag).

Add your name at the bottom of tag, I used Selfish font at 110 pixels. apply drop shadow.

Add in any artist, copyright, & license info and voila! Your tag is done :)

A little Intro :)

Hey all who wander by this blog..
This is being set up as a place for Tripp and I (Lovely) to post our tutorials. I can't say at the moment how many there will be or how often they will be posted, but this will keep them all neatly in one place rather than mixed into all kinds of other things we have on our other blogs.
