This tutorial was written entirely by me. Any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

I used PSP 9 to write this tutorial, but any version should do.

Materials needed for this tutorial are:

Tube of choice: I chose the work of Ida Larsen. You need a license to use her work which you may obtain at DSI

Scrap kit of choice: I chose a kit by Angel Designz ~ Gothic Obsession~

Font of choice: I used Dagger Rob which is a PTU font.

Filters: Gradient Glow Eye Candy 4000

Let's begin:

Open a new image 750x750, don't worry you will resize later.

Usually we would pick a paper and go from there, but this time we are going to start with a kit element. I started with the Tag back element from this kit and resize 115.

If you would rather use a paper with a mask this would be great too. Just add your paper and apply your mask using layer then load save mask.

Now is the really fun part of choosing elements from your kit.I decided to add the Splatter element underneath my tag back layer,arrange as desired.

I duplicated this layer twice mirroring one layer and flipping the other. Adjust as you desire or you may use my tag as a guideline, this stand for any element I use.

Next I placed my tube, Adjust if needed to fit your tag theme, go to adjust, Hue and Saturation, Hue map and adjust lightness or saturation as desired.

Next I added a drop shadow 3,3,75,12 then a gradient glow 5,25,100 thin and a color from your tube or your kit that compliments the tag.

Next I added the Ribbon 1 resized 50 element under my tube layer adding the same drop shadow as before as well as the same gradient glow.

Next duplicate this layer and mirror as desired to fit your tag. Adjust the elements as desired.

Next I added the cross and resized 25, above my ribbon layer, but again use the elements you like and resize to fit your tag.

Now add the crow and skull element resized 30 mirror and add your same drop shadow and gradient glow.

Next add the rose layer adding the same filters as listed.Duplicate and mirror to suit your tag.

Now resize the key 25 and place as desired to compliment your tag and add the same filters.

Now resize the spider 15 and the rat resized 20 and place as desired with the same filters.

Now resize, add your copyright, your name and you are done.

Thank you for taking the time to try my tutorial.
