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!

I used a drop shadow of vertical 0, horizontal 5, opacity 75, blur 10.



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

Paste the mask and resize it 25%, select all, float and defloat the mask, make a new layer, paste paper 2 into the selection, deselect, duplicate the paper layer, merge the copy down onto the original and delete the black mask layer.

Paste spray 5, resize 70% and move down a bit.

Paste the tube, resize 34%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 53, resize 70%, position behind the tube and apply the drop shadow.

Paste frame 1c, resize 35% and move into place.  Select the interior of the frame with your  magic wand and expand the selection by 10, make a new layer below it and paste paper 3 into the selection.  Paste the tube again, resize 85% and position in the frame, invert the selection and hit delete, change the blend mode on the tube to “Luminance (Legacy)” and apply the drop shadow to the frame.

Paste element 78, resize 23% and mirror, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 48b, resize 90%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 46 on the top, resize 45%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 49 below the crackers, resize 35%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 50, resize 17%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 42 above the crackers, resize 25%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 93, resize 25%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 62 on the top, resize 17%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

Paste element 61, resize 17%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.
