"Naughty Angel"
What you need :
Tube of choice, I used artwork by Elias Chatzoudis
Font of choice, I used LaPointe's Road & Letter Gothic STD
Plug-Ins :
Xero : Fritillary
EyeCandy 5 : Impact : Gradient Glow
Graphic Program Of choice, I use PSPX2
Clouds of choice
Let's Begin!
1. Open a new transparent image
Open all of your supplies
2. Using your selection tool, circle create a medium size circle (approx. 450 pixels wide)
Flood fill with color or gradient of choice to match your tube
Go to your Xero plug-in and apply the fritillary plug in
I used these settings :
Using y our selection tool again, rectangle, crop the top half of the circle
Add drop shadow
3. Open a new transparent image
Using your selection tool again, create a wide rectangle shape
Flood fill with a solid color for now
Create a new raster layer above that rectangle
Using your magic wand tool, select the rectangle
Go to Selection>Modify>Expand>5
Select the new raster layer
Flood fill with another solid color
Drag the larger rectangle and drag behind the first rectangle
Flood fill the larger rectangle with a color to match your tube if you haven't already
Apply the same settings with the Xero Filter again
With the now top rectangle layer, Flood fill with a color or gradient that matches your tube
Merge the 2 layers down
C/P the tube of choice and place towards the upper area of the rectangle
Trim as needed so it doesn't hang over the gradient area
Duplicate the tube layer
Apply Gaussian Blur to the top layer, Setting 3
Lower Opacity to your liking
Apply the Luminance layer setting
Merge the bottom tube layer down to your rectangle layer
Merge all layers visible
C/P the merged rectangle to your tag image
Drag behind the half circle
Rotate 5 degrees to the right
Duplicate and Mirror and position as needed
Add drop shadows to both rectangles
C/P the clouds of choice above the half circle
Duplicate and position as needed
C/P the tube of choice again
Type the "Naughty Angel" wording or any wording of your choice as many times as it takes to go across the fron of the tag
Create a new raster layer behind the text layer
Merge the text layer down to the raster layer
Add your Gradient glow from EyeCandy 5, using these settings:
*Please click image to view 100%*
Lower the Opacity of the text so it's easier to trim where needed
Enlarge the tag so it's easier to view
Using your lasso tool, trim along the leg or where ever you need to so it appears to be running between her legs.
Merge all layers Visible
Add copyright info and name and you are done!
