About me

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am Vivienne, living in the UK and married with a son who now lives in Perth, Australia and a daughter who has given me two gorgeous grandsons! Paint Shop has been my hobby for more years than I can remember and I love making tags. I have always loved doing tutorials written by others and a couple of years ago started writing them myself. As well as tag tutorials, I also have a Tips and Tricks page where you will find tutorials on basic Paint Shop techniques. I hope you enjoy my blog and have fun with my tutorials. Please be sure also to check out the Tag Gallery and see some of the awesome results to the tutorials!

Paste element 73 and resize 55%.  Click anywhere on your canvas outside of the element with your magic wand to make a selection, invert the selection and contract it by 20, make a new layer below the element and fill with the colour #273830.  Paste spray 7 as a new layer, resize 55%, position in the frame, invert the selection, hit delete then deselect.  Apply the drop shadow to the frame, merge it down onto the spray and then again down onto the coloured layer and move into position.

Paste spray 4, drag below the merged layer, place in position and apply the drop shadow.
