Beautiful Baby Blues


This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on
August 07,2012 and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I use PSP 9, but any version should work. I do not allow my tutorials to be translated and please do not claim them as your own. If you would like to share the tutorial please send a link to my blog. Thank you!

Things Needed:
Tube/Image of choice: I am using the work of the talented Barbara Jensen which you can purchase here
Kit of choice: I am using a Shani aka Wicked Princess kit called Times Past which is part of a collab which can be purchased here
Plugins: None
Masks/Templates: None
Font: CK Love Note

Let’s Begin:
1. Open a new image 600 x 600 72 DPI this is going to be called our working image
2. Open up a frame of choice ( I used WP_TP_FRAME3.png)
3. Resize by 75% twice
4. Copy and paste as a new layer on our working image
5. With your magic wand click inside your frame
6. Selections- Modify- Expand by 4
7. Open a paper of your choice ( I used WP_TP_PP8.jpg)
8. Paste your paper as a new layer and move below your frame layer
9. Selections- Invert
10. Hit delete on the key board at this time to remove the excess paper
11. Apply a drop shadow to your frame layer to make it stand out from the paper
12. Place your tube to your liking
13. Open WP_TP_LEAF.png and resize to your liking ( I resized by 50% and again by 75%)
14. Paste the leaf as a new layer on our working image
15. Move the leaf to the bottom left of the frame
16. Once satisfied duplicate this layer and move again to your liking
17. You can keep duplicating this layer until you have your leaves placed how you like
18. Now open WP_TP_FLOWER.png and paste as a new layer
19. Move the flower onto the leaves and place to your liking
20. Now keep putting your flowers and leaves across the bottom of your tag
21. I recolored the white carnation using manual color correction to a light blue to match the tag
22. Open WP_TP_WIREDFLOWER.png and paste as a new layer on our working image
23. Move to the left side of our frame to your liking
24. Open WP_TP_HEARTPENDANT.png resize by 50% twice and paste as a new layer on our working image placing over the extra loop in our wired flower
25. Open WP_TP_STARSCATT.png and resize by 75% and paste as a new layer on out working image
26. Now send this layer to the bottom
27. At this point merge all layers visible and resize by 75%
28. Now add your copyright and name
29. There you have it a wonderful new tag
