*The kit I used for this tutorial is no longer available for purchase,
however, if you had bought this kit in the past,
you should be able to try this. -Magik 5/23/2021





This tutorial is borne from my own manipulated lil' mind. 
Any similarity to any other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.
This tutorial was written for those who have a working 
knowledge of PSP and was written using PSP X2, 
tho' any version should work.

Supplies Needed: 
Scrapkit: I'm using a kit from Purple's Kreationz called Kinky Love.
This kit is no longer in shops.

Tube: I'm using the artwork of Keith Garvey.
I had bought this at Garv-Girls PSP Tubes shop.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Template: Template0017 from me, here. 

Mask: of choice

Filters: Xero- Radiance
Eye Candy Impact 5- Gradient Glow 

Font: Scriptina

Drop shadow: 4 2 55 4, black.

Move the word art up a little in the canvas.

Next add your main tube, 

under the word art layers. 
Resize if needed. 

Apply Xero- Radiance at these settings:

Add a drop shadow.

Next we'll add some elements.
For each one I added, I sharpened & added 
a drop shadow to, unless specified otherwise.

E16- 40% 

Position this one around the word art.
Add the cuffs again, resize 50%. 
Use your lasso to make a selection around one of the cuffs:

Promote this selection to layer.
On the original, hit delete & select none.
Flip this promoted cuff. 

Move it so it 'connects' with the chain. 
Merge down & move in front of the word 

'kinky' & under your tube's hand.

E38- 50%.

E31- 65%

E29- 35%. 

Rotate 30 left.

Then move down to just above the handcuffs.
On the handcuffs layer, draw a selection like mine:

Hit delete on the cuffs layer.

E28-40%. 

Rotate 42 right. 

'Hang' this on the skins box.

Now go back up to the sparkle layer. 

Rotate 22 left. 
Position as desired & erase any excess.

Add any other elements, if you prefer at this time.

Now, add a paper of choice & apply your mask.
Merge group & move this mask 

to just above the white background layer.
Resize your mask about 110%, if needed.

Now, crop/ resize your tag to your own preferences.

Then, add your proper copyrights & watermarks.

Next, add your name.
Then add a gradient glow:

And a drop shadow.

Finally, delete the white background, merge visible, 
save as a PNG & enjoy.
