Clockwork Easter
This tutorial was written by me on March 14, 2025. The results are of my own imagination. Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.
This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating the tag.
Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)
Supplies needed
I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.
PTU Tube: I am using Verymany's beautiful tube "Bunny 17". You can purchase this beauty here.
PTU Kit: I am using a fabulous kit called "Clockwork Easter" created by Doodle by Design. You can purchase it here.
Font of choice for your name.
Plug in: None
Drop shadow of choice. I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 5, Opacity 75, Blur 10, color black.
I use Vivienne’s drop shadows quite a bit as I really like the look of her shadows. Thank you for letting me use your settings for my tutorials.
An image can get blurred when you resize an element or tube in PSP. I use unsharpen mask for each item. Vivienne has wonderful tips and tricks on how to do this here.
Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.
Let’s get started.
Open a new 800x800 transparent image. We will resize later. Flood fill with white.
Remember to sharpen and drop shadow each image as you create the tag.
Element 190 - Resize 90% and move to the upper right of the tag. Select all, float, defloat and add a new raster layer. Open paper of choice. I am using paper 14. Copy and close the original. Select the new raster layer. Edit, paste into selections. Select none and delete element 190 layer.
Element 113 - Resize 30% and move to the top right of the mask. Duplicate and move to the lower left of the mask. Drop shadow each layer.
Element 115 - Resize 15% and move to the bottom right of the bottom element 113. Drop shadow.
Element 171 - Resize 20% and move to the right of element 113. Drop shadow.
Element 41 - Resize 30% and move to the lower left of element 113. Drop shadow.
Element 136 - Resize 20% mirror and move to the upper right of element 41. Drop shadow.
Element 108 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom of element 41. Drop shadow.
Element 153 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom right of element 41. Drop shadow.
Element 111 - Resize 40% and move to the bottom left of the mask. Drop shadow.
Element 9 - Resize 30% and move to the center of element 111. Drop shadow.
Element 138 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom of element 9. Drop shadow.
Element 13 - Resize 15% and move to the bottom left of element 138. Drop shadow.
Main Tube: Resize 30% and move to the top left of element 41. Drop shadow. Select the mask layer. Select all, float, defloat. Select the tube layer. Click on the mask icon on the bottom of your layer pallet and show selection. Deselect. This will apply a mask layer to the tube. Do not merge group. The mask cut off part of the tube's head and we need to fix this. Select the paint brush. Opacity 100%, size and hardness set to 50%. Change the foreground color to #FFFFFF. Select the mask layer that has been applied to the tube. Paint over the top until all of the tube's head is showing. The mask layer should look something like the screen shot below and the tube's head should now be visible. Merge group.
Element 32 - Resize 20% and move to the left of the large egg on the mask. Drop shadow.
Element 37 - Resize 25% and move to the bottom right of element tube. Drop shadow.
Element 149 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom right of the mask by the large egg. Drop shadow.
Element 27 - Resize 20%, mirror and move to the left of element 149. Drop shadow.
Element 98 - Resize 15% and move to the left side of element 27. Drop shadow.
Element 94 - Resize 10% and move to the bottom left of element 98. Drop shadow.
Element 94 - Resize 12% and move to the bottom left of element 27. Drop shadow.
Element 45 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom left of the basket. Drop shadow.
Element 24 - Resize 12% and move to the right of element 45. Drop shadow.
Element 54 - Resize 12% and move to the left of element 24. Drop shadow.
Element 74 - Resize 12% and move to the right of element 54. Drop shadow.
Element 10 - Resize 20% and move to the right of element 74. Drop shadow.
Element 6 - Resize 15% and move to the bottom left of element 45. Drop shadow.
Element 43 - Resize 12% and move to the right of element 6. Drop shadow.
Element 36 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom right of element 45. Drop shadow.
Element 46 - Resize 10% and move to the right side of element 36. Drop shadow.
Element 48 - Resize 20% and move to the right of element 36. Drop shadow.
Add any other elements you would like and make any adjustments on the tag.
Crop and resize your tag. Be careful not to crop off any shadows or mask edges. I resize mine to 650px on the width (if needed) as that is what fits my blog best.
Add your name and copyright.
Hide the white background and save as png.
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial. I would love to see your results.
