How to make Stickers for tags

Click on image to see full size
This tutorial is written for those with working knowledge of PSP.

I used PSP 9 for this tutorial, but it could be done with other versions I'm sure.
~Supplies you will need~

Tubes of choice – I used the awesome work of Al Rio. Please do not use his work without a license from C.I.L.M .

~Okay Let’s get started~
You might want to Adjust > Sharpen after you resize anything you need to.
Open a 600 x 600 transparent image to store them on
Flood Fill with white –set aside
To make a “sticker look” to each tube you use.
Pick 1 tube – Window > Duplicate –close the original tube.
Image > Canvas Size > change to 700 X 700 (just so you know you have enough room to work with lol)
Selections > Select All > Float > Defloat
Selections > Modify > Expand by 2
Add a New Raster layer and pull below tube layer, Flood Fill- Black INSIDE the ants (DO NOT Deselect)
Selections > Modify > Expand by 8
Add a New Raster layer and pull below the black layer you just made, Flood Fill- White INSIDE the ants
Selections > Select None
Merge > Merge Visible
Copy and paste onto white canvas
Effects > 3-D Effects > Inner Bevel –settings:
Bevel: shape 2, Width 20, Image Smooth 22, Depth 5, Ambience (-5), Shininess 36, Angle 319, Intensity 36, Elevation 45, Color-White,
Add a drop shadow-settings: V, H (-5), Opacity 40, Blur 5, Color-Black
Repeat until your heart’s content.

Save as a PSP Image so everything is saved as layers
