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 an adorable FTU kit from
Amy of Gimptastic Tuts named Love Bug.
*This kit is no longer posted on their blog.
Tube: of choice.
I'm using one of the bears from the kit.
Do not use any artwork unless you have a license to do so
& have purchased the tube.
Template: Temp 172 from Amy & Leah's Gimptastic Tuts.
Find it
here.
Filters: Eye Candy Impact 5- Gradient Glow
Xero- Radiance
Font: Love Letters
Drop shadows: 0 2 50 5, black for most of the tag
15 12 50 5, black for the bugs
Save your progress often.
Let's do this!
Open up the template.
Duplicate it & close original.
Delete the credit layer at the top.
Expand your canvas so its 550 X 400.
Now, working from the bottom layer of the template, up:
8- Select all- float. Defloat- Invert.
Delete this layer & paste Paper1, resized 80%.
Hit delete & select none.
Crop to canvas.
Drop shadow.
7- Use your manual color correction tool to change the colour:
Source: #d62e61
Target: #ed2046
6- select all- float. Defloat- Invert.
Delete this layer & paste Paper2, resized 80%.
Hit delete & select none.
5- leave as is.

Hit delete. Select none.
Duplicate. Mirror.
Add a drop shadow to both.
1- delete
words 2 back- drop shadow.
words 2- Manual color correction with #c6112d as your target.
Then add a bevel:
words 1 back- drop shadow
words 1- leave as is.
Next add a bear or tube of choice.
Resize as needed.
For mine, I resized the bear 80%.
Position on the left of the tag.
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.

Rotate 13 right.
Place to the right of tag.
Move below the word art in layers palette.

Place with the lollipop.

Duplicate & move this one to the bottom left.
Merge down.

Place on the right of flower 1.
Add this flower again.

Rotate 8 left & place with the other 2 flowers.
Bug- Duplicate.
Resize 1 35%. Mirror.
Place on the lollipop.
Resize the other one 27%.
Place this one near the flower.
Add the following drop shadow to both: 15 12 50 5, black
Heart2- 45%.
Rotate 20 right.
Place in the bottom right.
Move below the word art in layers palette.
Add any other elements, if you prefer at this time.
Now, crop/ resize your tag to your own preferences.
Then, add your proper copyrights & watermarks.
Next add your name.
Then add a gradient glow:
Add a drop shadow.
Finally, merge visible, save as a PNG & enjoy.
I really hope you enjoyed making this adorable tag.
I'd love to see your results.
