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 85, blur 15.








Open a new transparent
canvas 750 by 700 pixels and fill with white.

flip the copy and position on the right.





Paste frame 4 and resize
45%, select the interior of the frame with your magic wand and expand the
selection by 20, make a new layer below the frame and paste paper 2 into the
selection.  Paste the close up tube,
resize 65%, position in the frame, invert the selection and hit delete,
deselect.   Duplicate the paper layer,
bring the copy above the tube and change the blend mode on it to “Overlay”,
apply the drop shadow to the frame. 
Close off all layers apart from these frame layers, merge visible and
reopen the closed layers.

merged layer and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  17, resize 35%, place in position and apply
the drop shadow.





Paste element  51, resize 60% and duplicate, position the top
copy on the left, position the original so it shows to the right of the merged
