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 frame 4, resize 40%, select the interior of the frame with your magic wand, expand the selection by 20, paste paper 6 below the frame, resize it 60% and position in the frame, invert the selection, hit delete on the paper, deselect, apply the drop shadow to the frame then merge the frame down onto the paper.

Paste the tube, resize 30%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 42, resize 30%, drag below the tube, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 60, resize 45%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 63b, resize 40%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 24, resize 20%, drag below element 63b, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 72b above element 63b, resize 20%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 8, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 31, resize 20%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 25 on the top, resize 20%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 72c, resize 25%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 7, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Check your layers and make any adjustments.
