*NEW TUT* Club Misfit ID


There's really a million different possibilites for this but it's also gonna be easy peasy!
You will need.....
My Template #25 (see post below)
Eyecandy 4000 Gradient Glow filter
Xero Fritillery filter
MuRa Meister Copies filter
Papers from scrap kit of choice
A barcode font here
A pixel font of choice
Tube of choice. I'm using a tube from Elias Chatzoudis you can purchase it here
Let's get started....

Open my template in Paint Shop
Delete "melissaz creationz" layer
Layers>New Raster Layer
Flood Fill with white> Layers>Arrange>Move to Bottom
Open up 3 or more papers from the kit you chose & minimize
On the template, make the "sm rectangle" layer active
Selections>Select All>Float>Layers>New Raster Layer
Flood fill with a paper from your kit
Effects>PlugIns>Eyecandy 4000>Gardient Glow
Use these settings:
This will make a black line around the original square which is what you want!

Now, repeat the above steps in the "sillouettes" "stars" & "lg rectangle" layers of the template. I did omit the gradient glow around the stars but depending on your tastes you can add it.
Make the "pink lines" layer active
Selections>Select All>Float>Layers>New Raster Layer
Flood fill with a solid color that matches your papers
Selections>Select None
Add a drop shadow of your choice....do not apply the gradient glow to the stripes
Make the "square" layer active
Copy & paste your tube onto the canvas, align so that the part of the tube you want in the frame is inside the frame
Make the "square" layer active again
Selections>Select all>Selections>float
Selections>Invert
Make your tube layer active
Cut
This should cut your tube so the only part of the tube you have left if the part you wanted in the frame
Make the square layer active again
Selections>Select All>Float
Flood fill with a solid color of choice (no need to make this a new layer)
Effects>PlugIns>Xero>Fritillery with these settings:
Granularity:5
Aggression:30
Tesselation:10
Variation: 23
You can slide the bar up & down on the variation setting to suit your taste
Make "square frame" layer active, apply gradient glow with same settings as above.
Make the "club queen" layer active
Selections>Select All>Float>Layers>New Raster Layer
Flood fill w/ solid color (or 2)
Apply Fritillery with same settings as above
Make "club queen" layer active again & apply the gradient glow with same settings as before
Make "glitter" layer active
Adjust>Sharpen>Sharpen
Now make the "lg rectangle" layer active
Type a saying (mine says "club misfit vip member") in a small font (I used Pixellette sz 6) as a vector layer. This will be the type that's on the lg rectangle diagonally.
Layers>Convert to Raster Layer
Select the paper layer inside the large rectangle
Selections>Select All>Float
Now select your text layer
Apply the MuRa Meister Copies filter with these settings:


You can play with the "tile gap" slider to make the text to your liking
Selections>select none
Lower the opacity og the text layer to 50 or less
Now, with your barcode font, type your name or "Misfit & your name" as a vector layer
Adjust the height &/or width
Layers>Convert to Raster Layer
Apply gradient glow settings to the barcode with above settings
using white instead of black
Add your copyright info, crop, delete solid white layer at the very bottom & save!
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask....I'm fairly new at the tut thing so I hope this all makes sense! LOL
