Program used: PSP 9

Supplies:  A tube of your choice or the one I used, which can be downloaded here.

I also use one of my home made Picture Frames. It too is in the download file. Install it by copying it to your c:/documents/MyPSPfiles/PictureFrame folder.

Last but not least I used one of my scrap kits called “Wonderful Autumn”. It can be bougt at Digital Scrap World.

* Open solid paper blue. Duplicate. Save. This is now your working canvas.

* Open the following elements and c/p them to your canvas:

frame 2

leaf 1

staple (with DS)

paperflowers 4 and 5

stitches

pumpkin

* Resize to 600 px. (Smartsize, All Layers)

* Resize the pumpkin with additional 75%

* Take a tube of your choice and c/p it behind the frame layer. Then selecct inside the frame, expand with 1 px. and back on the tube layer promote selection to layer. Deselect. X-out the original tube layer.

// I use one of Alie´s tubes. The orignal artist (to whom the copyright belongs) is Lei Sheng.//

* Now with your Selection Tool (Rectangle), select part of the canvas (see below), then go to the paper layer and promote selection. Deselect. X-out the original paper layer.

* Add a new layer, flood fill with white, drag the layer to the bottom of the canvas.

* Back on the promoted paper layer, open Picture Frame and apply lhsTORNEDGE_01 with these settings:

* Add a shadow to all your embellishments. The shadow on the stitched layer, should be a bit discrete.

* Time to add your name or text. I wrote Wonderful Autumn using font Rage Italic LET, size 30.

My tag looks like this now:

* Crop some of the white away like this:

* Your tag is now finished. Save! Also save as a jpg.

Program used: PSP 9

Level: Beginner

Supplies: Shiny Button (PSP Scritp) by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. Available here.

Three papers from kit Delightful Autumn by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. Available here.

Open one of the papers, minimize it. Go to background color and select Pattern. Chose the paper, set the scale to 50.

Chose a foreground color. It will turn out grey/silver no matter which color. I use a grey color.

Find and run the script lhsBUTTON_shiny_01_vectorstyle (/see the link to the store in the above). If you don´t want to buy the script, but still want to try out this tut, you can download the buttons, I have made for this tut here. Beware, that they are for PERSONAL USE only. Thank you! :)

This is what my button looks like, when I use paper number 6 from the kit Delightful Autumn.

Save the finished button as a png.

Make a couple of more buttons with different papers. Again save these as pngs.

Now open one of the buttons and with your text tool write an A. I used the font Kozuka Mincho Pro size 250 for my button alpha. Choose a fairly dark brown color for the letter.

Then play with the blend modes to get a nice burned look.

Here are screenshots of the settings,  I have used on my alpha buttons:

tut03 tut04

tut05

Remember to save you alpha buttons as pngs as you are finished with them.

Repeat the process with all the letters and/or numbers, you want to use.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! :)
