I am using the wonderful work of Rebellious Scraps for the “Emo Girl”, this is a script for PSP, which can now be found here!
For the actual scrapkit, I am using Sweet Skulls by AmyMarie
Which can be found at here!
Last but not least you need your template 445, by Missy which can be found here!
For this tut, you will need to have the following plugins
Eye Candy 4000
Now remember you have the open to add a drop shadow to which ever layer you wish. I used the drop shadow below
Now 4 the tut!!!!
Open Missy’s template (445)
Resize the canvas to 800x800(crop later)
Delete the credits layer
Now I want you to open element Sparkles1
Copy>paste as a new layer
Duplicate>image>mirror>flip
Merge both sparkles layers
Now place this layer at the very bottom of your template
This is so it is behind your tag, and lights it up a bit
Now select layer rounded edge rect3
Float>defloat
Open paper 26
Copy>paste as a new layer
Add the following gradient glow
Invert>delete the excess
Now select layer circle3
Float/defloat

Delete the sweet on you layer
Select layer rectangle
Open element corset
Copy and paste as a new layer twice inside the black square
Invert>delete the excess on both corset layers
Using whatever tool you wish, make the corset layers look cool!!!
Now I used the font BankGothic Lt BT (pay font) to write gothic love
Using black as the foreground and #d4a2dd as the background
Delete the heart2 layer
Add your tube of choice
Move your wordart “gothic love” above your tube if you wish, I did this because I didn’t want anyone stealing my tube.
Add your name using the Baumfuss font using the same colors
This time we will be using this gradient glow
Also, add the same dropshadow
Last but not least, open the element Kitty
Image>resize>75%
Adjust>sharpen>sharpen
Place to the right of your tube (if you wish)
Crop your tag
DON’T FORGET TO ADD PROPER © INFORMATION!!!!!
