</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now let’s see if I can explain how I made the tag…</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start open a new paper 600X600 with a transparent background and make sure your DPI is 72.000. It can be cropped/resized before you put your copyrights on later if you don’t like the size.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get as paper 05 and copy and paste on your new image. Make sure the TD mask is in your masks folder and you can go to selections, load mask from disk, otherwise you’ll have to open it on your workspace and go to layers, new mask layer, and make sure you select td mask. See image for reference.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn5.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next merge group and resize to 50%.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Copy and paste your second paper (as paper 11) as a new layer to the new image (your tag). Go to selections, load mask from disk and use WSL_Mask 148. Merge group and move the image below your TD mask layer. Go to effects, Zero, Fritillary. See settings below. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn1.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go to your Ellipse tool (the oval on the preset images tool) and make sure your colors are white and white. On your presets make sure your image is an oval. Make an oval about the width of the WLS mask, but not quite as tall. Convert it to a raster layer, flood fill it a dark red, go to effects, Plug in Galaxy, Noisee. See the settings on the image below.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn3.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Copy and paste your tube as the top layer, resize to 65%. Go to your move tool, move the tube slightly to the left so that you can see the skull and rose just beside it. Then go to effects, Eye candy 3.1, and use a drop shadow on it. See settings in image.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn4.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> If you want to make it look a little neater, you can erase the slight shadow just under the edge of the bottom of the legs.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get element AS60 copy and paste, and resize to 50%. Move to the bottom right of your tag. Effects, Lokas 3D shadow. See settings in image. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="209" src="http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/MavericStorme/TUTORIAL/scrn2.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get AS36, copy and paste it, then resize to 75%. Move it down under the layer with the TD heart, and then move it over to where it is just slightly under the wings. Try to get it as centered as possible</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Copy and paste the word art to your tag, go to your move tool and move it to the top right corner of your mask as the top layer. You’ll want to let it be slightly above the mask just for looks.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add your copyright credits, I use pixlettte at size 10, with anti-alias off, and stroke width at 0. I convert to raster and add a glow (eye candy 3.1).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that you can use your font and give it to your friends!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Condolences to her friends and family. She was a wonderful person from what I knew of her, and I am certain she will be missed.<br />
