FTU A Dog Day 4th

This tut was written June 22, 2018 for those with a basic knowledge of psp.

I am using the awesome artwork of Maryline  Cazenave 

The tube is "78-3 " 

You need a license to use this tube, do not use without a license.

You can find this tube at CDO store  HERE

I used PSPX...but any of them should work.

Filters
EyeCandy 4000-Gradient Glow (Optional)

Font of choice,  I used USStarsNStripes

Drop shadow is usually V-2 H-2 Black, 50, 5, use what you prefer.

Let's get started

*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

This is a quickie one

Open a new image 800 x 800
Paste paper 4, resize to 95%, apply your mask, delete, merge group.

Resize frame 1 to 105%, paste, click inside with your magic wand, expand
by 5, paste paper 2, invert, delete, select none.
Resize frame 2 to 120%, move below the paper layer of the top frame.

Resize your tube to 85%, paste on the left on the frame layer.

Paste element 5 on the mask layer on the left, duplicate, mirror.
Resize element 9 to 55%, paste above the tube layer at the bottom.

Resize element 23 to 90%, paste to the right at the bottom above the hat.
Resize element 6 to 25%, paste below the tube on the left.
Resize element 15 to 25%, paste at the bottom on the paper by the word love.

Resize the wordart 4 to 90%, paste at the bottom just above the tube layer,
apply a bevel with these settings
Effect, 3D Effects
Inner Bevel
Shape2, width 3
5, 5, 10, 5
41, 50, 30
color white
Then add a fat white gradient glow using EyeCandy 4000
Resize element 19 to 40%, paste below the hat and on the tube layer, 
duplicate, resize to 50%, paste on the left below the wordart, duplicate, mirror.

Gp back to the flags element, duplicate, move to the top above the tree layers, just
so the sparkles shows, a little bit of the flag pole might show, then duplicate,
free rotate to the right, move to the right below the first sparkle, erase any part
that you don't want showing, duplicate, mirror.

Then I typed out Happy 4th small and placed on the wordart at the bottom.

Add any other elements that you would like, make it your own.

Once happy with your tag, close off any background used, 

crop your tag to make sure no shadows or anything on the edges, merge visible.
Resize your tag first, then add your copyright and name.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
