Supplies Needed
I used PSPX...but any of them should work.
Drop Shadow V2 H2 50 5
Filters used
EyeCandy 5 Impact-Chrome
Drop shadow is usually 2V 2H 50 5 Depending on where you want your shadow sometimes you might have to do the minus on them.
Ok Let's get started
Open a 700 X 700 new image
Go to your preset and select circle, width set at 35 foreground any color and background null and draw out a large circle, then go to Objects, align and center in canvas. I say any color because when you apply the chrome it will be chrome color. Apply EyeCandy Impact-Chrome with these settings on the Basic tab:
Bevel width 25.88
Bevel height 60
Smoothness 20
Round Corners 0
Reflect map-Abstract-Stainless Steel
Click OK
Now take your magic wand click inside your frame and Selections, modify, expand by 3 and apply your paper of choice, I used #5, invert and delete. Move below your frame now.
Copy and paste your tube, it should be below your frame, erase what is showing below the frame, then duplicate and move to the top and erase the excess showing over the frame. On your bottom tube add your drop shadow.
Take element #6 and place behind the frame and resize to 125% and place to the top left of your tag, flip, add your drop shadow. Resize element #28 to 50% and place in center on bottom of frame, then duplicate and resize to 80% and place on one side and duplicate again and place on the other side, and then add your drop shadows. Open element 12 and resize 50% and Adjust, free rotate and rotate 20% to the right, place on the left side of your frame, add drop shadow. Take the hat and your selection tool and draw a rectangle over the word and year 2011 and fill with black, then take your font and type out Happy New Year and if you want to add the year go ahead. Then add a slight inner bevel with these settings,
Bevel shape 2
width 9
0, 2, 0, 0
315
50, 30
merge the wordart visible to the hat and resize to 35% and rotate to the left 20%. Resize element #10 and place behind the mask on the left, add your drop shadow. Resize element 36 to 75% and be sure you are on your top layer and place to the right of your tag, duplicate and adjust up higher a bit. Element #16 resize 50% and place to the right, add your drop shadow, resize element #14 to 40%, duplicate and position into place. Take element 33 and place on tag and move to the bottom, duplicate 2 or 3 times and position where you like the looks of them.
Now merge visible and add some sparkles if you like, resize your tag and add your Artist copyrights to your tag and your name and you are done.
Hope you have enjoyed doing my tut
