this tag is made in PSP8 but I think you can make it also in PSP7, it does require some workingknowledge of PSP.

Have fun!

Materials:

graphics, masks and tube (this tube was made by Chili, she graceously allowed me to offer it here for download) download hier

fonts: download here

Get something to drink and eat, you'll need it :)))

OK, let's start:

1. Open the "startplaatje" en promote to rasterlayer

2. Layers -> load and save mask -> load from disk -> tiledglass3.msk (use following settings)-> merge -> merge group

This is the resulte:

3.Go to Image -> canvas size -> 650 x 650 px, center

4. Duplicate grouplayer -> Image -> mirror (copy grouplayer)

5. Move the copy to the leftuppercorner and place the original a bit lower so they overlap eachother a bit (see example)

6. Open the tube, duplicate and close the original -> Effects -> Artistic effects -> Sepia toning: age 33

7. Adjust -> Hue en Saturation -> color: hue 25 / saturation 124 The tube is now finished, put it aside for a while untill we need it.

8. Go to your image and apply the coloring to both layers with the same settings as your tube (If you want to, you can put one layer to 80% visibility and the second one 75% in your layerpallet)

9. Make a new rasterlayer and place it at the bottom, fill with #C7A87A

10. Go to Effects -> Texture effects -> Texture and choose bricks01 with following settings

11. Make sure you are still working on the bottom layer and go to Layers -> Load en save mask -> load from disk and choose Mask169.msk -> merge -> merge group

12. Go to your tube, copy and paste as new layer (make sure it is on top of your layers in your layerpallet).

13. With the deformationtool  make your tube a bit smaller untill you like it and deselect

14. Select all -> Selections modify -> contract: 33

15. Selections -> Selections modify -> feather: 20 -> invert selection and hit delete -> deselect 

16. Make a new rasterlayer and choose the font Mummy Loves You, capital C, size 72, foregroundcolor #6f5127, backgroundcolor #8f6832. With the deformationtool make the sign a bit narrower and longer and move it a bit diagonal. Make the visibility of this layer 54%

17. Now all you have to do is place your name on the tag. Make a new rasterlayer and choose the font Fadgod, size 72 (if your name is longer, set the size a bit smaller ), stroke 1.00 forgroundcolor #553e1e backgroundcolor #6f5127. Place your name where you want it, use the deformationtool if you want it. Drop shadow: Vert. -3 (min 3) Hor. 3 Opacity 100 Blur 3.00 #332612

18. Go to effects -> Eye Candy 3.1 -> Glow with following settings : width 20, opacity 60, drop off Fat #f9f0d7

Your tag is finished! I hope you liked it.

Have a lot of PSP fun!!
