School Days’

 By LadyDragus

this was written by me, and any resemblance to another tut is not meant

If you see something as a mistake please tell me.. 

I’m using the art work of Garin Tyler Baily 

Which you need a License to use his art work you can get it here indie-Zine

I’m using a cluster frame I made using Coyotie’s Designs School Day’s scrap kit

You can buy the kit here at any of her stores coyotiedesignsscraps

You u will need to download the cluster frame's below this tutorial to use it in the tag.

Open the cluster frame, Shift+D so it opens a new one, so you can save as you go.

Open your tube package, copy paste the full body tube between the Book’s and ruler part of the frame. Re-size it by 70% pull it to the right hand side of the frame, at the very edge of the marker…

Now copy the head shot of the tube, paste it behind the ruler section of the frame

Mirror the tube, pull it to the left hand side of the frame, You will then use your selectionS tool, and draw a selection around the head shot, (square like) cut that part out of the tube, hit Control l+ D(to de-select the selection, hit delete,  and use Control +E to paste it back in the spot you just cut it out of…

 Flood fill the bottom layer, using cds-sd-pp10 (if you do not have the scrap kit, please use a color from the frame, or your tube selection)

I’m using a mask with the name gabeemask9-vi ***if you know who’s made this is I would love an email, so I can give credit to the person who made it***

Merge the mask layers, and re-size it by 105% and pull it to where some of it is above and below the ruler section of the frame

Open cds-sd-schoolbooks element

2 re-size’s the first one is by 45% then pull it to the lower right hand corner of tag, and re-size it again by 50% **sharpen it at this point**

Add your copy right for the artist, your License number and I used Times new Roman on the copy right and I’m using Book Antique (pre-installed font on Windows7), makes it look more bookish, on the font, the foreground is black and the background is PP10 again from the kit(if  you do not have kit, use the same color you used on the mask layer…

 I’m using a gradient glow white and then a drop shadow of 5/5 black opacity 100 blur 5

Add what ever name, saying you want on the tag, and save it…

Always save your finished tag as a .psp file so if you ever want to give it away or offer it up, you have a blank that is saved in layers…

Here is one for Coyotie and indie-Zine
