My Daughter was born on Feb 14, 2010 and she is wonderfully healthy! Thank you for all the wonderful emails about everything. I just wanted to say that for right now since life has gotten so busy I am working mainly on tags and layouts. There will be the occasional tutorial but not as many as before. I am sorry if this causes any problems, but family comes first! I hope this finds all my followers doing well! Blessed Be! ~Lori
Quick Links
These are the Quick Links to my most used supplies =]
For this tutorial I used the DBS (Designs by Stina) part of the FallEver Friends Collab which can be purchased HERE
Start with a 475x475 canvas flood filled with the landscape gradiant and the wet fall leaves texture at 50% scale. Flatten
Open Fence 2 resize 50% copy and paste onto the background layer down at the bottom. Drop Shadow 3, 3, 100, 8 black
Open frame 10. Resize 50%. Using your freehand selection tool and point to point you are going to cut off the arch of this frame. Copy the arch and place on the background image, under the fence and resize and reposition as desired. Add the same drop shadow as before on this.
Open leaves. Resize 60% and place on the left top of the fence (under the fence) Duplicate and place on the top right as well) Merge these 2 layers and drop shadow as above.
Open the rest of your elements and resize and add. (I have used Lab 02, Sign 02, Teddy Friends 02, Butterfly 03,Clock 02 and Deco 02 all at 30% and the medi_lilflutter4 at 50%I also took Autumn leaves resized at 15% to cover the ‘grass’ in my tag.
Add all wording and copyrights and you are all done! (do NOT forget if you use the poser IN the kit you MUST credit the poser!!!)
Vix Mask #39: which can be found in my quick links at the top of the page.
Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact Gradient Glow found in my quick links as well.
Words of Magic Word Art from Rachel which you can get HERE
First you will need to add your mask to your masks folder and make sure you have your Alien Skin installed and loaded.
To start you will need to open 2 papers from the kit I have chosen #5 & #7. 7 will be my background paper so you can minimize that for now.
On paper 5 you are going to apply your mask. Layers > Load/Save Mask > Load mask from disk. Make sure the only things checked are Source luminance, fit to canvas and Hide all Masks. Copy Merged
Bring your background back up and paste the new mask layer on this as a new layer. Adjust as desired. I have also taken the time to freehand select around the scarecrow and delete the mask covering it.
Next you are going to add your tube and place it where you would like, and use whatever elsements you like around it. I have used only clipart 1 and the leaves (which I have duplicated and mirrored and placed under my tube.)
Open your word art and resize. I believed I used about 15% (because as we all know word art is normally HUGE) Copy and paste
Now we are going to use our plug-in. Effects > PlugIN > Eye Candy 5 > Grad. Glow. I am using the Green Glow setting, and on the basic tab you want the following : Outside Glow, Mask Selection, 5.00. 100, 100, 100, 65, 100 and pick whatever color you would like by clicking on the bottom box of the slider bar. I have used a color from one of the leaves because I thought it looked nice.
This tag was made by me using the Evil Virgin kit by Immortal Dreams found HERE
and the WONDERFUL art of David Deb at Devient Art but you must have permission to use his artwork!
