Stay Aware





This is a fairly quick and easy tutorial. 
You will be making a tag similar to mine:



Feel free to adlib, add, subtract and replace anything in this tutorial.
In essence, make this tag your own! 

For this tag, I used a

Kit by Gothic Inspirations's  BCA Kit HERE.
  Mask HERE.
I used Suz's Mask 2.
BCA Template by Millie--


Eye Candy 4000 Gradient glow.
Fonts used -- Pixelette for copyright and GoodVibrations.

The tube was a free tube from Ismael Rac's Store.
It is called 2014 BCA Girl. 


Ok-Let's Begin!

Shift D to duplicate your template. Delete Credits.

Image Canvas size --Resize Template to 700x700.
Activate Background layer and finish filling it with white.
Activate layer just above background layer. Click on it with your magic wand, add 
a new layer and copy and paste Paper of choice into selection.
Deselect. 
Layers- New mask layers- Find your mask in the drop down menu. Click ok.
Layers merge, merge group. I duplicated my mask to bolden it up a bit.
For each paper layer below, Select the layer with
your magic wand... Then I just copied and pasted the paper as a new layer-Selections invert- Then delete:
Layer 1 --Paper 7.
Layer 2- Paper 2.
Layer 3--Dotted lines. I duplicated this layer and used the manual color correction
tool to colorize it to pink. Then I duplicated the layer to make it more visible.
Layer 4- Paper 10.
Layer 5 -  Paper 5.
Layer 6 - Paper 3.
Layer 7 --Paper 2--- Add a new layer and copy and pasted this paper into selections.

For each of the layers above, I added a white frame with noise. 
How I did this-- Select the original layer-- not the paper layer selections, expand by 5 add a new layer and fill with white. Contract the selections by 7 or 8---I did 8. Delete--You should have a frame. Now add your noise. I used 100--Use whatever setting you want and like.
Move the layer above your paper layer and drop shadow it.
Layers 8 & 9 are the wordart---I just added a gradient glow to them and gave them a drop shadow of 1, -1, 50, 0. 

Elements Used--
Bubble- Resized about 50%. Place over your circle layer. You may need to use
your raster deform tool to form it around the circle.
Envelope  Resized 50% - Rotate 20 degrees left.
Wings- resized ti 35%.
Glitter Trail-75% - Duplicate and mirror.
Safety Pin- Resized 50% ---See my tag for placement on envelope.
Tree of Life resized to 65%.
BCA Ribbon resize to 50%.

Resize your tag to whatever you want- I usually have
mine to around 600x600.

Add your watermark if you wish, and make 
sure you add the copyright for the image you used.
Add your name or name(s) of whoever you want.

I saved mine as a PNG image.
You are done!
