Cow Tag
 
This tutorial was written in PSP 9 but should have almost the same results using PSP 8
 
You will need my tube here or one of your own
 
VM Distortion Filters
 
Open a new canvas 500 x 500 transparent
 
Copy and paste you tube as a new layer
 
Effects-plug-ins-VM distortion-smallpox-all settings on 150
 
VM Distortion-tumbler-all settings 128
Repeat the tumbler effect
 
VM Distortion-mosaic ripple-both settings on 24
 
Copy and paste your tube again and arrange to the right hand side with the filter effect layer just behind it.
 
In your material palette select two colours from your tube or other colours if you prefer.
 
Add a new layer for each shape
 
With your preset tool select a shape to dot here and there.
 
When you are happy with the arrangement merge layers visible.
 
Add a new layer and floodfill with a colour of your choice-layers arrange-send to bottom.
 
Merge all layers and crop the image as you would like it. I use my selection tool to do this and then edit-copy and paste as a new image
 
Now with your selection tool on rectangle draw a square inside your tag-to this add a default inner bevel. Or an inner bevel of your choice.
 
Image -add border-size 5 and in a dark colour.
 
Resize as you wish then add a new layer for your watermark and Text.
 
If you have used a copyright tube don't forget to add any artists information.
 
That's it done --I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
