Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow (Optional)

Font of choice, I am using MagicSpellJF

Let’s Get Started:

Open up PSP and open up your supplies, minimize them for now.

Open up a new image 700*500, we can resize/crop later if needed.

Open up a frame of choice from your kit, I am using frame 3 from the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize this @ 65% smartsize once and sharpen twice.

Click inside your frame, depending how many open spots you have, make sure you click in all, expand by 5.

Open up a paper of choice from your kit, I am using paper 3 from the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize twice @ 70% smartsize and then once @ 90% smartsize, sharpen twice, invert and delete the rest that hangs over the frame, bring below the frame layer.

Open up your tube of choice, I took parts of my tube and placed them inside the frame, a close up of the face works good then another part. C/P and a new layer and do so, make sure to resize nicely depending which parts you’re using, sharpen at least twice. Erase any that hangs over the frame, and bring below the frame layer, but ABOVE your paper layer. Add a drop shadow to your tube layers, V&H-1 Opacity-100 Blur-2 Color-BLK. Then add the same drop shadow to your frame layer. 

I changed the blend mode to the tube layers, for the close up of the face on mine which also includes her back side, I changed this one to overlay, my other one I changed to Luminance (Legacy).

Take your tube again, the full size one, C/P as new layer, resize once @ 65% smartsize once, and sharpen once, place nicely on top of all layers on your frame nicely. Add same drop shadow as before.

Let’s Decorate The Taggie:

Open up a bottle of choice, I am using bottle 1 and 3 from the kit I am using. C/P as a new layer for one of them, I am doing bottle 1 first, I resized this @ 80% smartsize 3 times and sharpened twice, add same drop shadow, I placed this on the bottom of the taggie on the right side. C/P the other bottle if using one, resize this one @ 85% smartsize 7 times, and sharpen three times, same drop shadow and place this next to the other one, use sample as guide.

Open up some bubbles of choice, I am using the ones from the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 80% smartsize twice, mirror and then place on the right side of the tag, sharpen twice, place this layer between the bottle layers. Same drop shadow as before.

Open up a broom of choice, I am using the one in the kit I have, C/P as new layer, resize this @ 80% smartsize once then once @ 90% smartsize, sharpen twice, and add same drop shadow as before, place this on the left side of the tag, behind your main tube layer but above all other layers.

Open up a ribbon of choice, I am using ribbon 5 from the kit I have, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 80% smartsize 4 times and sharpen 3 times, same drop shadow, I placed this over the broom some, on the left side.

Open up a spider web of choice, I am using the one from the kit I have, C/P as new layer, resize this once @ 80% smartsize, sharpen twice, same drop shadow as before, I placed this behind the main tube but above the frame layer, so it should behind all layers but the frame one, so it looks attached to the frame.

Open up a spider of choice, I am using the one in the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 80% smartsize 7 times, sharpen 3 times, same drop shadow as before, I placed this in the middle of the tag, on top, so it looks like it’s going to go down on the web.

Open up a word art of choice, I am using word art 4 from the kit I have, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 80% smartsize 4 times and rotate 15 degrees to the right, sharpen 3 times and add same drop shadow as before, I placed this one on the right side of the tag on the left of the tag, above all layers.

Open up a wand of choice, I am using the one in the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, rotate 90 degrees to the right, then resize this @ 80% smartsize 4 times and sharpen 3 times, place behind the main tube layer, make sure it’s above the bottle layers too.

Open up some stars of choice, I am using stars 2 from the kit I have, it’s a cluster form of them, C/P as new layer, resize this one once @ 80% smartsize, sharpen twice and place behind all layers, same drop shadow.

Font of choice, I am using Roelandt BT

Let’s Get Started.

Open up your supplies and minimize for now, open a new image 700*500, we can resize later or crop out once done if needed.

Open up your tube of choice, on your new image, pick out a frame of choice from your kit you are using, I am using frame 2 from mine.

C/P as a new layer, resize this one @ 85% smartsize once and sharpen once.

For this next step, I took pieces of my tube and fit them nicely into the frames, depending what frame your using and how many openings you have, pick the parts you want in them, I have 3 circles in mine so that means I pick 3 parts, Before I did this, pick out a paper of choice, I am using paper 6 from the kit I am using, resized this once @ 70% smartsize and sharpened twice. Erase or click invert to get rid of any that hangs over, bring this below the frame layer.

Now pick out your tube layers and have them nicely fit into each part of your frame you have.

Add a drop shadow to the frame layer, V&H-1 Opacity-100 Blur-2 Color-BLK

I then changed the blend mode to each tube layer to make it blend nicely and look different in each frame. I picked Hardlight for the close up of the face, Luminance for the close up of the back of the tube and then Hardlight again for the other part I picked out.

Then C/P your tube again, above all layers and resize this one nicely depending which tube your using, to fit nicely on the tag, I moved mine to the right of the tag some, added same drop shadow as before.

Each tube layer I also added clarify to each of them using the settings of 5, this is optional.

Now Let’s Decorate Your Taggie.

Open up a sun of choice, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 70% smartsize once and add a drop shadow to is, same as before just change the opacity to 31 for this one, I brought this below the layers but above the stars, peak it out some on the left side like its rising.

Open up a spaceship of choice, I am using spaceship 3 from my kit, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 70% smartsize three times and sharpen twice, same drop shadow as before. I placed this on the bottom right of the tag, above all layers.

Open up a cosmic splat of choice, I am using the one provided in my kit, any splat like thing will do, C/P as new layer, no resize, place behind all layers but above the stars, duplicate once and flip and have it peak out some, use sample as a guide.

Open up an Alien of choice, I am using Alien 2 from the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize this one @ 70% smartsize 3 times then once @ 85% smartsize and sharpen twice, same drop shadow as before, I placed this little guy inside the spaceship so it looks as if he is driving it, make sure its below the spaceship layer but above all other layers.

Open up a light ray of choice, I am using  the abduction light from the kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize 3 times @ 70% smartsize and sharpen once, duplicate once and add a drop shadow to the duplicated layer ONLY, then change the opacity of this layer to 40, place these over the spaceship and alien layer.

Open up a button of choice, I am using button 1 from my kit I am using, C/P as new layer, resize this @ 70% smartsize 5 times and sharpen at least 3 times, same drop shadow as before, I duplicated this twice and placed them around the frame of the taggie, use sample as guide or place where you think they will look best.

Open up a word art of choice, I am using wordart 1 from the kit I am using, resize once @ 85% smartsize and then once more @ 80% smartsize, sharpen once, I added a inner bevel to mine and then a black gradient glow to mine and same drop shadow as before, I placed this one on the bottom of the tag some above all layers. Pick out another word art of choice, I am using # 5 from the kit again, and repeat the steps as the other one but place this on the top of the tag some over the frame.
