Here is what we will be making :
This is a simple but yet cute fall signature that I made . I thought it would be a nice change to make a tutorial on something other than tags with templates :-)
Supplies Needed :
Paint Shop Pro X4 (Any version should work)
Scrapkit - Farmers Girl By Tamie @ Addictive Pleasures
Plugins Used :
Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass (Optional)
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow (Optional)
Font Used :
Comic Scan
Elements Used :
Wheel
Turkey
Pumpkin Patch

Lets Begin :
Start by opening a new 800 X 650 transparent canvas. (Don't worry you will crop it at the end of the tutorial)
Now open your Wheel element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%. Use your move tool & position your Wheel element to the left side of your canvas.
Go to Adjust - click Sharpness - then click Sharpen
Now go to Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow
*The settings below are my own personal preference, you are welcome to use the same settings if you would like, or you can change them to suit your own preference.*
***I will use these exact settings all the way through out this tutorial***
Then click Ok.
In your layers pallet - right click on your Wheel layer - then click Duplicate. Now go to Image & click Flip Horizontal, now use your move tool & move your 2nd Wheel element to the right side of your canvas, keeping it centered with the Wheel element on the left.

Now in your layers pallet - click on the last layer on the bottom -
Open your Flower 2 element - Copy & Paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40% - then position your flower 2 element so that it is behind your Wheel element on the left side.

**For this effect you will need to set your settings on both the Basic & Color tabs. So be sure once you are done setting your Basic tab settings that you click on your Color tab and set those to your liking before clicking ok** I have posted my settings & Color codes on the screen shots below**
Click Color Tab :
Now click Ok.
Go to Effects - click 3D Effects - Drop Shadow (Same settings as before)
Now activate your Magic Wand tool - then click inside each of the letters in the name on your signature. Once all letters have been selected & have the "marching ants" around them,
Go to Effects - Plugins - Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass
*My settings are below - you are welcome to use them or your own*
Now click Ok.
Go to Adjust - click Add/Remove Noise - then click Add Noise - set to Uniform, 40 & make sure your Monochrome box IS checked, then click Ok.
Now go to Selections - click Select None.
Now add any credit/copyright information that needs to be added.
Once happy with all elements & the name on your signature - go to your layers pallet - right click on any layer - then click Merge - then click Merge Visible.
Now activate your Crop tool - then crop off any access canvas that you did not use.
Now once your canvas is cropped you may or may not want to re-size your tag, depending on where you will be using it. Because every place on the net is different as to what size they allow to be used, you will have to check with them. I can't give you an exact size it should be for every website.
If you re-size your signature after you merged & cropped it, you might want to Sharpen your completed signature 1 last time.
Now all that is left is for you to save your signature as a PNG file & you have completed this tutorial!!
