you still will be able to try this. -Magik 5/24/2021





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 FTU kit from Design By Joan 
named Lucky You.
This was exclusive on her Facebook page.
*As far as I know, this kit is no longer available.

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

Template: 200mpm from Millie's PSP Madness.
Find this template here.
* Leave that girl some love when you grab the temp. 

Mask: of choice.

Filters: Xero- Porcelain
Eye Candy 4000- Gradient Glow 

Font: Bunchlo

Drop shadow: 0 0 60 4, black.

Save your progress often.

Duplicate it & close original. 
Delete the credit layer at the top.

6- Select all- float. Defloat- Invert.
Delete this layer & paste PAPER 3, resized 80%.

Keep selected & paste your tube or closeup.
Since we want to keep the hat sticking out of the circle, 
use your eraser to erase the excess at the bottom.
Select none. 

Apply Xero- Porcelain to your closeup:

7 & 8- add a drop shadow.

9- drop shadow.

10- Add a gradient glow:

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

Place on the right.

LuckyDay35- 60%. 
Place with the beer bottle.

LuckyDay-4- 50%.

LuckyDay23- 55%.

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.
Next, add a bevel:

Then add a gradient glow:

And a drop shadow.

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

I hope you enjoy trying this tutorial.
I'd love to see your results.
