Open template and shift D. Close original.

Delete info layer and resize canvas larger so you have room to work.

Keeping selected invert and paste larger tube layer and hit delete. Now do same for other square but mirror tube.

Once you rotate left 3 do all the areas that are that angle by dragging to frame on tag and then hit back button on animation so they are all highlighted again and repeat until all frame is animated. Then do right 3 or just mirror the left 3 frames - up to you how you do it as long as animation is at angle that fits frame. Then repeat until frame is animated and then hit the go back on your animation and then rotate 90 left or right then rotate 3 as well. Once all frame area is animated go back to psp and close all you have open and open what you have closed. Copy merge and paste into AS and Ctrl L so you have 10 frames and drag to your tag.

I hope I explained this to where you can get the idea of what you need to do.

Tubes of choice, I used artwork by Andrew Sussmann at MTA.
Font of choice, I used BILLY ARGEL FONT.
Plugins: MuRa's Meister - Copies (optional)
My Supplies

Open new canvas size 600 x 250

Flood fill with white.

Paste tubes and resize and place like mine.
I lowered the tiger eyes tube to 70 opacity.

Paste my rectangle bg layer below the tiger
head but above the tiger eyes layer.

Using rectangle preset with foreground
closed and background set to black
draw rectangle half in the white and half in
pattern bg layer. Look at mine for reference if needed.

Paste text I supplied.

OK now you have the tag mostly done but if you
want you can sharpen the tiger head one time to
make it pop a little more or leave like it is.

I made two versions one with yellow eyes and one normal eyes.
OK now you need to select around the circle part
of eye and promote as new layer and then colorize by
changing the hue to 33 and saturation to 255 for yellow eyes
and for the normal color just copy selected part and paste into AS.
Do this for yellow eyes as well after colored.

OK back to tag - delete yellow eyes and select none.

Make sure everything is where you like it to be.

Add copy right and name.

For my name I copied the tiger head and
pasted as a new image in psp and using
MM - copies set to wallpaper - rotate
then went to effects - image effects - seamless tiling (default)
and used this as pattern for my name.

I added a inner bevel with these settings...

Add dropshadow to name and Tiger head layer.

So now place name where you like it and add borders
2 color black.
Add again but change to 12 and color gray.

Go to my supplies and select the background layer
and change opacity to 100% and copy.

Using selection tools select gray area and paste
background layer into selection.

Add border again set at 2 color black.

Copy and paste into AS.
Hold Ctrl button and hit L key 5 times
so you have a total of 6 frames.

Select the eyes you pasted into AS earlier.

Go to Insert Image Effects - Underwater
using these settings...

Go to first (original) frame and delete.

CTRL A and drag eyes to your tag and line up where thy fit.

Save as gif.

You are done!

Font of choice, I used SilvermoonITC TT.
Plug-In : AAA Frames - foto frames
Sqirlz Water reflections - seperate program
My Supplies

Open image and apply foto frame with these settings...

Using selections tool - rectangle
select area like mine shown here....

Make sure you select area double the size

Copy and Paste selected area as a new layer
and save and open in sqirlz program.

Using (red cirle) selection tool select water area and click
number of frames and change to 5.

Click yellow arrow and select basic ripples only and then save as gif.

You can also save tag not just selection and open tag in
squirlz and repeat same steps but I do it this way.

Open in AS.

Back to PSP and copy merge tag.

On gif we made click CTRL A and then
drag and place where it fits on your tag.

CTRL A and then change frame properties to 20.

Supplies Needed

Tube of choice, I used Amberly Berendson at MTA.
Font of choice, I used Yippy Skippy Alt.
Mask: WSL_mask#218
Plug-In : Mura's Meister - copies.
Frame

Open New Canvas size 700 x 650.

Paste tube layer with bg.

Crop frame - use selection tool and select
inside frame and then invert and hit delete.

Plugin : MM-copies - wallpaper (rotate)
Play around with the number settings until
you get it to look like you want. I wanted the
? part to be showing in middle.

Paste Frame and center in canvas.

Using selection tool - point to point
draw around each square one at a time and
then invert and paste tube with bg again and
place part of it in square and hit delete.
Do this for all 3 squares.

Paste tube and position where you like her.
Look at mine as reference.

Duplicate tube and move one above
frame and one below frame.

On top tube layer using eraser tool set to
a small size (20) erase parts of tube so it looks
like she is in and out of frame.

For the boy names and heart
I just typed each name and rotated it before I
converted it to raster.
Make sure you do this while it's still
a vector layer as it makes it blurry
if you do it after.
For the heart I did same thing but used
preset shape - heart and then rotated.

For the text saying -

Set your background to one of the colors you want to use
for text. Write text and then for the different
colors there are two ways ( i use) to do this.

First way is...Highlight each letter you want as a
different color (one at a time) and change color in materials pallet.

Second way is...type text and apply changes
and in layers pallet open text and right click
and go down to convert text to curves
and then character shapes.

So now click the + sign and you will see
each letter by itself.
Right click each letter you want to change
and then click create raster selection

and then you can flood fill letter with
different color.

I used first way and had both my foreground and
background two colors I was using and just flipped arrow back
and forth when letters were highlighted and then for the
third color I just changed it in pallet.

Once text is how you like it convert and add dropshadow.

Add name and do the different colors again.

Convert to raster and float it.
Modify - expand by 2.
Add new raster layer and flood fill with white.
Add drop shadow and move below name layer.

On colored name layer I used
inner bevel with these settings

Add copyright.

You are done!

add new layer and flood fill with color of choice.

Then go back to original layer and select it and add new layer then
flood fill it with color of choice and hide original layer. Make sure this layer is under the frame layer we just made.

Your going to do this same thing for all the frames as well but when you
select them before you add new layer and flood fill with color you need to go to selections - modify - smooth by 10.

Once you have all three frames the color you like them apply a inner bevel

Select square layer and float then invert and paste image
how you like it and hit delete.
Continue to other square and do same thing.

On the rectangle layer I used the image supplied iwith my tube
the pasted the tube as well so it was stickingout of frame.
You may need to resize tube to size image is.
I resized mine by 78%
I also added the feathers and resized them too.

Add name - I used #751f0c and #8e412d for mine.

Add drop shadow to layers.

Add copyright info.

You are done!

It's been awhile since I have wrote a tutorial.
Life has a way of interfering in my PSP time lol.
Originally I stopped writing tutorials as I lost all my
PSP stuff when my external died (UGH) but then my
Tutorial Site got hacked and it took forever to recover it
but didn't recover my 4shared supplies for some tutorials
so you may find there are some tuts that supplies don't work
but I have had a few followers ask me not to delete them
as they use them as a guide so that is why they are still up.

So that is my tale of woe but the good news in I have found a lil
mojo so will be adding a tut or two from time to time.

Thanks for the Awards (Christy) and for the followers that
stuck with me- really means a lot. xox
