So without further ado here is the Strawberry Name Tag Tutorial.
You'll need Eye Candy 4000 for this and
you'll need to save this fill pattern on your hard drive.
just right click and save it.
Start with a 500x200 transparent image. Set your foreground and background to the strawberry pattern.
Type in a name using a font that is kinda thick fancy scripts are ok, but I prefer a thicker font.
The font I used is Fiolex Girls and you can get it here.
Ok, now lets do an Inner Bevel on your name. These are the setting to use for your text inner bevel, but you can adjust them to suit your preferences.
Deselect your text and the using the lasso. Open the tool toggle and set it on Freehand, Feather: 0, Antialias checked.
Draw a line across half of your text. The less straight the line is the better, so don't worry about how straight, just concentrate on how much you want your chocolate to cover your strawberry name.
Move your cursor into the area you just lassoed and double click. This is float the bottom half of your name, as the image above - Do Not Deselect Yet!
Go to SELECTIONS:MODIFY:EXPAND: 1
Do Not Deselect
Set your foreground color to brown you have a choice milk chocolate or dark chocolate. I used #8A2110, but you can make yours darker or lighter using by moving the little circle on the color palette.
Do Not Deselect yet, go to Eye Candy 4000 Bevel boss and bevel the chocolate Used these settings.
Next go to Eye Candy 4000 DRIP. You can make the drips the way you like them. I used these settings.
Now Deselect.
You should have this, or something similar. Add whatever embellishes that you like. I made the strawberry by drawing with the draw tool:freehand:both foreground and background with the same strawberry pattern then painted some leaves on it. If you would like it you can right-click and save picture to your hard drive.
