Easy Fuzzy Tag Tutorial
Written and Created by Debbie "Debz" Coates

 

What you need for this tutorial:
PSP 7 (this tut is written for this version, but I'm sure any version can be used).
Blade Pro or Super Blade Pro
Any filter, tubes and such you would like to use.

STEP ONE
Open a new transparent image of 400 x 400.

STEP TWO
Go to your preset shapes and select Star 1 and use these settings:
Antialias checked only, line width 5, Number 1 solid line.
Make sure that you have your foreground set to white and your background any color or gradient of your choice. Make a star in the middle of your image. To do this, put your cursor at 200,200 and hold the right mouse button to make your star centered. Go almost all the way to the edge of the image.

STEP THREE
Select your magic wand and click on the white outline of your star. Apply your Blade Pro or Super Blade Pro here. I use a color that matches or enhances the color I've chosen for the middle of the star. Now go to Selections > None.
Don't worry about the little bit of white between your color and Blade Pro outline...it adds character..LOL :)

STEP FOUR
Now go to Image > Resize and use these settings:
Percentage of original 40, Resize all layers unchecked.
Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen.

STEP FIVE
Go to Effects > Reflection Effects > Kaleidoscope and use these settings:
Horizontal offset -43, Vertical offset -39, Rotation angle 20, Scale factor 90, Number of petals 8, Number of orbits 2, Radial suction 16...hit ok.
Resize it to 300 x 300 and go to Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen.
**Note: You can adjust the number of petals for different looking tags, mix it up!**

STEP SIX
That's it! Now dress it up with tubes, masks, anything you desire. Your imagination is the only limit to this :) Here's mine!
