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!

In this tutorial I used the tube “Vampire 6” from
You can purchase the tube at

The kit is “For All Eternity”.
I just love this kit which I have used before,

Deedles n Doodles store.

You will need the second Halloween mask from
and my mask



Unless stated, I used a drop shadow of vertical 0, horizontal  5, opacity 85, blur 10.

Open a new transparent canvas 750 by 750 pixels and fill with white.

Make a new layer, select all, paste paper 7 into the selection, deselect, apply my  mask and resize 85%.

Paste Fecnikek’s mask,  resize 40% and mirror.  We will use the Pick tool on this later to stretch it out wider but for now move it over a bit to the right of the first mask.

Paste element 63 and resize 45%.  Click anywhere on your canvas outside of the element with you magic wand to make a selection, invert the selection and contract it by 10, make a new layer below the element and paste paper 8 into it, deselect, apply the drop shadow to the frame, merge it down onto the paper and move into place. 

Paste element 57, resize 20%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 96, resize 75%, position behind the merged frame layer and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 31a, resize 25%, move into place, apply the drop shadow and change the blend mode to “Hard Light”.

Paste element 91, resize 50%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 17, resize 40%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 51, resize 70%, place in position, apply the drop shadow, repeat the drop shadow with the vertical set to 5 and horizontal to 0.

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

Paste element 3, resize 55% and mirror, place in position below the tube and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 32, resize 35%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 27, resize 45%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 20, resize 70%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 94, resize 40%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 33, resize 50%, duplicate, place in position and apply the drop shadow to each.

Paste element 29, resize 12%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 45, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 95, resize 30%, position behind the bottle and jar you have just added, duplicate, bring the copy to the top and duplicate again, position in front of the tube and apply the drop shadow to each.

Paste element 27 again, resize, 40%, position in front of the tube below the two grass layers and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 94 again, resize 25% and mirror, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 21 on the top, resize 50%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 4, resize 18%, position in front of the tube below all the grass layers and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 50, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 18, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 10, resize 12%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 69, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 9 above the grass layers, resize 15%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 89 on the top, resize 30%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 22, resize 25%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 39, resize 8%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 38, resize 8%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Pate element 40, resize 10%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 85, resize 30%, duplicate, merge the copy down onto the original, paste the element again, this time resize 20% and mirror, again duplicate and merge the copy down, place the larger on the top and the small above the group of bottles and glass in front of the tube and apply the drop shadow to each.

Check your layers now and make any adjustments then use the pick tool to stretch Fecnikek’s mask out wider so you can see the bats on the left.  When you are all done, crop your tag, add your copyright information and text and export on a transparent background as a png.
