DARKEST NIGHT

This tutorial was written by me on April 19^th 2023.

My ideas are my own.

Any similarity to another is purely coincidental & unintentional.

A basic knowledge of PSP is required.

Supplies Required -

Image of choice. I used one by Lianne Issa, she has general permission for usage. You can find her artwork HERE

Scrap Kit or Elements of choice. I used elements from a kit from Wicked Diabla called Milena but any grey / black kit could work.

Mask 307 by Mizteeque

Word Art of choice, I made my own and it is available below if you want to use it.

Plugins

Xero – Clarity (default settings)

Eye Candy 5 - Gradient Glow

Drop Shadow

V – 0

H - -4

O – 25

B – 15

Font of choice I used - Maldivine

Open new image 800 x 800

Flood fill – white

copy and paste your image as a new layer, apply mask, merge group.

Apply Xero - Clarity

Copy and paste your image again, this time move it over to the left hand side and apply the mask again, merge group.

Again apply Clarity.

Line up your second image layer with the first one, it can be a little tricky that's why its best to have a base colour on your bottom layer (it can be deleted later)

Once lined up duplicate the second image layer.

Arrange your elements on your tag, see finished tag for my placements.

Any pieces you feel are too strong drop the opacity to blend into the mask layers

Add drop shadow to your elements.

Add the word art & add drop shadow if required.

Delete your white layer.

Merge visible.

Add your name text & appy the gradient glow if desired, the settings I used are above. 

Add the copyright info.

Save as png.
