This tutorial uses my portion of an Easter blogtrain freebie, but when you go to get it from my blog, be sure and snag all the other goodies from other designers who participated in this blogtrain. There's some really nice freebies you can use to create all kinds of things!

This tutorial assumes a basic working knowledge of PSP - any version except X23 will do. X23 doesn't work with the old plugins. I'm using X15 for this tut.

This tutorial uses the plugins Neology, Blend Mosaic and you can get it HERE.

The elements are part of a CU/PU pack made by me and are available free on my blog as part of the Egg Hunt Blogtrain HERE

Mask of choice. I used Mask 66 from Moon Beams and Spider Webs HERE
Load your mask to the masks folder in PSP

Font is A Hundred Miles, available free HERE

Unzip and install the plugin to your PSP plugins folder
Open a new transparent image 700 x 700
Load your mask with source luminance, fit to canvas and hide all mask checked
Flip vertical
Merge group
Effects, plugins, Neology, Blend Mosaic, tile size set at 28
(If you don't use plugins, try Effects, texture effects, Mosaic-Antique for something similar) Duplicate this layer and then pull down so you have something like this:

Open e9, resize, paste as new layer and move to the right side
Open e10, resize, paste as new layer and move to the left side
Open e14, resize, paste as new layer and move to the top left
Open e2, resize, paste as new layer and move up a bit
Open e5, resize, paste as new layer and move slightly left
Open e11, resize, flip horizontal, paste as new layer and move to the right
Open e7, resize, paste as new layer and move down
Open e4, resize, paste as new layer and move down and to the left
I resized e12 and e13, the two chicks, and placed them at the bottom right
Go through your layers and add drop shadows, I used 0, 4, 17, 13, black
If you plan to resize your tag, do that now before adding any text
Add your designer credit - there is no copyright required because these elements were AI generated
For designer credit, I used Pixelette, #389fa3, and then layers, properties and reduce to 70%
For text I used the font A Hundred Miles, #389fa3 in the foreground and #ffde24 in the background, stroke with 1, Convert to raster and add a drop shadow - I used 0, 3, 17, 3, black
Merge visible and save as a png file
Thanks for trying my tut! Enjoy your new tag!
