Lets begin.
Remember to save often!
Open a 700 x 700 transparent canvas (I know its large, we
will resize later). Change your foreground to white.
Select your flood fill tool and flood fill this canvas
white.
Open the celtic shamrock supplied with this tutorial. We
want to export this to your brushes. Go to
File/Export/Custom Brush. A pop up box will appear. Give
it a name and click "ok".
Over on your layer palette, add a new raster layer.
Change your foreground colour to a green tone (I used
#189250). Select your brush tool and find your celtic
shamrock. Click your brush in the centre of your canvas.
Go to Effects/Plugins/Mura Meister/Copies and apply the
following settings:
Duplicate this circle of celtic shamrocks. On the ORIGINAL
go to Image/Resize: 115. Over on your layer palette, lower
the opacity to 40.
Go to Image/Rotate/Free Rotate/Left/Free: 25 degrees.
To both your original celtic shamrock layer and your
duplicate layer, add a drop shadow of Vertical/Horizontal:
2, Opacity: 70, Blur: 2.
Open you tube of choice. Right click/Copy. Return to your
working canvas. Right click/paste as a new layer. Using
your mover tool, position your tube where you think it
would look best.
Over on your layer palette, duplicate your tube layer. On
your ORIGINAL tube layer, go to Image/Mirror.
Still with the ORIGINAL/mirrored layer active, go to
Selections/Select All. Selections/Float. Selections/Modify/Expand: 1. Change
your foreground colour to black. Select your flood fill
tool and flood fill the selected area black.
Selections/Select None.
Open a new transparent canvas. Change your background to
the same green used before (I used #189250). Type in an
Irish blessing (I Googled). Right click/Copy your
blessing.
Return to your working canvas. Add a new raster layer
(this should be sitting between your original and
duplicate tube layer). Right click/Paste as new selection.
Position this Irish blessing so the majority is sitting on
your black original tube layer.
Activate your black/original tube layer. Go to
Selections/Select all. Selections/Float.
Selections/Invert. Activate your Irish blessing
layer and hit "delete" on your keyboard to get rid of the
excess.
Activate both tube layers and add a large/blurry drop
shadow of your choice.
Change your background colour to black, foreground colour
green (#189250). Select your preset shape set to
rectangle, Create as vector: checked. Line style: solid.
Width: 9.
Draw out a rectangle at the bottom of your tag. Once your
happy, over to your layer palette, right click/convert to
raster. Add a large/blurry drop shadow of your choice.
Change your background colour to green once again. Using a
fat font of your choice (I used AuntBertha) type your
name.
Go to Effects/Texture Effects/Blinds and apply the
following settings:
Ok, it IS big, go to Image/Resize/85%. Make sure All
Layers is Checked and Resample Using: Smart Size selected.
