Use my tag as a guide for placement of elements.

Open pp4, center on canvas.

You should see marching ants on your tag.
Let go of the Ctrl key.
Highlight your paper layer.

Your paper layer now has two icons in it.
Hide your fr2 layer.
With pp3 layer highlighted,
Right click in the layer palette.
Click on Convert to Sharp Object.
Right click again.
Click on Raterize Layer.
Now you have a red frame.
I erased a portion of this frame at the top
to make it look like it was wrapped around fr3.

Open el 14.
Place this behind fr3 and center.

Now let's play with some elements.
Open and place these elements:
el 2, resize to 80%
el 16, resize to 25%

type in 65%
Hit Enter on your keyboard.
Grab a soft eraser.
Erase all of Devilin1 except her head and shoulders.

Now we'll add more elements.
Open and place:
el 6
el 20, resize to 20%

Erase her wings and legs.

Open poser Devilin3.
Resize her to 45%
Position her where you like.
Open and place:

el 8, resize to 65%

Now we'll finish up our paper layers.
Unhide all three paper layers.
Grab a soft edged eraser.
Erase around the paper edges
to prevent any harsh lines on your finished siggy.
This also give it a cloudy look.
Do this for all three papers.

Add a Drop Shadow to all layers
except the paper layers.

Resize the siggy to your liking.

Make a new layer.
Type your name on the taggie.
I used color 871320
Now place a Stroke:
Stroke, Outside, 2, Black
I also used a Drop Shadow.

MOST IMPORTANT!!
You must now do this:
Put the artist's name, website, and your license number
of the tube you used on the siggy!!
Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.
Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.


Always Save as PSD first.
Then you can save it as a PNG.

YOU'RE DONE!
I hope you had fun with this tut
and that you can use the different techniques
in other taggies you create!
HUGS!

Now move the duplicated element11 layer
above your tube in the Layer Palette.
Viola! She's holding the key!
Keep both element11 layers visible.
There will not be a drop shadow on the duplicated layer,
but will be on the original one.
This prevents over shadowing on the key.

♥Tribute to Rieka♥

To honor Rieka and all she has blessed me with, I will be leaving all my tuts that I have written with her kits on my blog. They are not coming down. Even though her kits are no longer available, the tuts I wrote using them are my tribute to her. Hopefully, they will inspire you the way Rieka inspired me. Love You, Rieka! You'll be forever in my heart.♥

Hi Ya'll! I'm Savage and I'd like to welcome you to Redneck Tuts. These are not your ordinary tuts, as they are geared toward those of us that don't have "working knowledge" of Photoshop or PSP. My tuts are all done in PS. They are designed to show you different techniques that you may not know. I hope you learn something that you can use in your creations in the future. Please, just have fun and put your own spin on these tuts. Be original and shine! Love Ya! ♥
