SHAKE YOUR SHAMROCKS 


Supplies Needed

Tube - Art of ©Elias Chatzoudis - from MyPSPTubes (no longer open)
You can buy this tube currently at CDO HERE
Scrapkit by Wicked Diabla - called Lucky Clover - HERE
Gradient by Tonya's Temptations - St Pat's 20_2 - HERE

Plugins
Toadies - What Are You?
Penta.com - Color Dot & Jeans 

Fonts
Fixed_01 (pixel font) 
Vanilla Mermaid - used for the name on the tag
Specialk - used for the 'Shake Your Shamrocks'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, now let's start!

1. 
Open your tube of choice. 
Using your preset shape tool - set it to rectangle.
Horizontal and Vertical Radius: set to 0 
Create on Vector: checked
Solid Line and Width: 10.00

In your material palette, choose a color from your tube.
I used: #14361a
Make sure the color is in the 'Foreground and Stroke Properties'
(top square) 
And hit the Transparent button under the bottom square. 


Now, draw a frame. 
I made mine a bit smaller than the tube.


Right click and convert to raster layer. 

2. 
Using your magic wand tool, click inside of the frame. 
Selections - Select All
Selections - Modify - Expand by 3

Add a new raster layer and floodfill with a color/paper/gradient of choice.
I used a gradient by Tonya, St Pat's 20_2
Selections - None.
Now, grab a closeup of your tube.
Resize and paste to each side of your frame.
Make sure they are over top of the gradient layer, and under the frame layer.


Hide all layers, except the close up tube layers.
Make one of those layers active, and then Layers - Merge - Merge Visible.
Unhide the layers again.
Duplicate the closeup tubes layer.
Change the blend mode for the bottom one to 'Luminance Legacy'
Change the blend mode for the top one to 'Overlay'.

3. 
Add a new raster layer over top of the closeup tube layers.
In your material palette, choose a color from the tube.
I chose the same color as above.
Hit the texture button (middle one) underneath the box in the material palette.
Click on the box to open it up, and to the right you will see the word 'texture' with a check mark.
Underneath that, click the arrow to select which texture you want to use.
I chose 'squares'. 

If your PSP does not come with this texture, any texture will do.
Now, floodfill your raster layer with the texture.
I changed the blend mode to 'Soft Light' and lowered the opacity to 30.
Hide the main tube and frame layer.
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible.
Now unhide the other two layers again.



4. 
Click on the frame layer.
Effects - Plugins - Penta.com - Jeans - default settings.
Using your magic wand tool, click the outside of the frame. 
Selections - Invert
Selections - Modify - Expand by 4

New raster layer - floodfill with gradient used earlier. 
Selections - None.
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise 
Random - 44% - Monochrome: checked

Add a dropshadow. 
Click on the frame layer, add the same dropshadow.
Add the same dropshadow to the gradient/closeup tubes layer.
Hide the main tube layer, and merge the rest of the layers together.

5. 
Duplicate the frame layer. 
Resize one of them by 80%.
Move it to the right of the main one, and lower it beneath that layer.
Duplicate, Image - Mirror.
Click on the main frame layer again, and duplicate it again.
Image - Rotate - Free Rotate - by 15%. 
Lower it to the bottom layer - Duplicate - Image - Mirror.
Now, click on one of the frame layers you resized by 80%.
Duplicate it. 
Effects - Plugins - Toadies - What Are You? - Default Settings.
Lower it beneath all layers, and move it to the right so it's coming out from behind the tag on the right.
Duplicate it, and mirror it. 

6. 
Add the colors black and green (I used #016b0f) to your material pallette.
Using your rectangle shape tool, draw a green and black rectangle at the bottom of the tag.
(See my tag for reference)
Add a dropshadow to each.
Then draw a small black rectangle to the right of the tag.. Lower it to the bottom layer. 
Effects - Plugins - Penta.com - Color & Dot - default settings.
Add a dropshadow.  Duplicate - Image - Mirror.
Using the green again, draw a rectangle at the top of the tag. 
Add closeups of your tube on each side, 
Change your blend mode to Overlay. 
Add a dropshadow to the green rectangle layer.
Again with the green, draw a smaller rectangle over top of it. 
Lower it so it is just coming out from behind the frame layers from before. 
Add the Penta - Color and Dot plugin again, and drop shadow.

7. 
Using your pixel font, type the words 'Shake Your Shamrocks' 
with two different colors along the top.
Choose the kit elements you would like, and add them to your tag.
Using the rectangle preset shape tool.. 
Diamond Line - Width 2.00 
Make your bottom square in the material palette transparent. 
Black on the top.  Draw a dotted rectangle at the top of the tag and lower it beneath all layers.
Now, click on one of the Toadies layers, and duplicate it.
Move it up to the top so it's coming up from behind the top rectangle.

8. 
Using the 'SpecialK' font, type Shake Your Shamrocks on the tag.
I used white for 'Shake Your' and then black for 'Shamrocks'.
Add a dropshadow.
Add your copyright information and the name.

We are now finished! 
Thank you for trying my tutorial.

Naughty or Nice

Materials Needed: 

My frame #02 - download it on my blog sylly creationz - HERE
Tube of choice - I used Elias Chatzoudis (from MPT) but now available at CDO - HERE
(Elias updated the color of the tube when he went independent, after MPT)
Gradient of choice - I used one by Danni made exclusive for Misfits 10th birthday (not provided); but any will do! 
Plugins: penta.com - Jeans
Masks: sz005 by Sonja's Sazzy World - HERE and my mask 03 at sylly creationz - HERE
Fonts: Fixed_01 (pixel), MF I Love Glitter (name) & Czesko (naughty or nice?)
Texture: included in supplies by KiwiSuz (thank you so much Suz for permission to use)

Tutorial Supplies - HERE 
(my frame, my simple slat template, screws, suz-bcatexture12019, accents) 

1. 
Open up my frame.  Keep it the size it is. 
Image - Canvas Size - 750 x 750. 
Open up Suz's texture from the supplies and paste it behind the frame.
Trim the excess so you only see it behind the frame.
Adjust - Hue & Saturation - Colorize - Hue: 222, Saturation: 219
Now, paste your tube of choice over top of the frame.
Add a dropshadow to it. 
Vertical: 0, Horizontal: 0, Opacity: 30, Blur: 3.00, Color: Black
Grab the screws from the supplies and paste it over top of the frame.


2. 
Now, using your tube, paste it to the left and to the right over top of the texture.
Hide all layers except the 2 tubes for under the frame, and merge visible.
Unhide all layers, and click on the texture layer to make it active.
Selections: Select All, Selections: Float, Selections: Defloat, Selections: Invert
Click on the newly merged layer to make it active, and hit the delete key on your keyboard.
Selections - None.
Duplicate the merged layer.
In your layer palette, change the blend mode on the bottom layer to Luminance: Legacy
And then, change the blend mode to the top one to Screen.
Hide all layers, except the merged layer, the duplicated merged layer and your texture.
Merge Visible, and then duplicate this merged layer.
On the top one (duplicated one) go to Effects - Plugins - penta.com - Jeans
Use the default settings. 
Lower the opacity to this layer to 42.
Hide your main tube layer, and merge all other layers together.
Move the frame and tube down some on your canvas to make more room at the top.

3.
Open up my simple slab template in supplies. 
Paste it to the canvas and lower it beneath the merged frame layer.
Make sure it is not showing at the bottom of your frame. 



Selections: Select All, Selections: Float, Selections: Defloat 
Add a new raster layer and floodfill it with your gradient of choice.
 Select None.
Now, paste your tube on each of the slabs, removing the extra bits as you go.
Use the same selection method above to do this. 


Hide all layers, except your tubes and gradients over top of your slabs, merge visible.
Duplicate the layer you just merged and change the blend modes. 
Bottom to Luminance Legacy, Top to Overlay. 
Merge these layers together again, and go to Effects - Plugins - Jeans - same settings. 
Click on the original slab template layer that is hidden to make it active.
Selections: Select All, Selections: Float, Selections: Defloat,  Selections: Expand by 3
Add a new raster layer
Floodfill it with your gradient of choice, or a different one altogether. Up to you.
Lower this layer beneath the slab/tube layer. 
Add a dropshadow, same as above . 
THIS is what you should have now..



4. 
Open SC_simpletemplate02 from the supplies. 
Now, just to be sure of the placement, I copied and pasted the slab layer over to the simple template.
You don't have to, but just easier to figure out tube placement.
Paste your tube over top of the pink rectangle layer 3x, use my tag as a guide. 
You want to see the tube between each of the slabs. 
Once your tubes are where you want them, make the pink rectangle layer active.
Selections: Select All, Selections: Float, Selections: Defloat, Selections: Invert
Now click on each tube layer and hit the delete key on the keyboard.
Selections: None. 
Use your freehand selection tool to delete any excess of the tube , if necessary.
Now click on the long black bottom rectangle and go to 
Effects - Plugins - penta.com - Color Dot - use the default settings
Add a dropshadow to all layers, same as above.
Hide the slab layer, and copy merged onto the main tag canvas.
Your tag should now look like this..


5.
Now, open the devils tails and pitchforks accents, and colorize.  
Adjust - Hue & Saturation - Colorize - same color as before.
Paste the tail under your tube, and the pitchfork to the right. I resized the fork by 60%.
Paste the halo top, center.  
We are all angelic, after all, so the halo is the star of the show, no? LOL
Now paste the lips, starblastaccents (bottom right one), fire (2) and handcuffs.
Open up the accents_layered132 and use the bottom left one. 
I pasted it all around from beneath the tag in various places. (2 top, 2 bottom, 2 sides).
Check my tag for my placement of all of these things.
Using the preset shape tool, draw two hearts at the bottom on each side.
I used pink, and i used the raster deform tool to rotate them a bit.

6. 
With the Czezko font, and using 2 different colors from your tag, 
type out the words 'Naughty or Nice?' right above the frame. 
Add a white border around it, or gradient glow. 
Dropshadow, same as above.
Using Fixed_01 font, size 6, anti-alias: off, type naughty or nice across the top of the frame.
Now add your masks, I used 2 different ones, one in each color of the tag.
Then, lower it to the lowest layer so it comes out from behind the tag.
Add your copyright, and your name!

We are all finished!
Thank you sooooo much for trying out my tutorial.
