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 current bonus tube
"Undercover" from
Barbara Jensen.
This gorgeous layered tube is currently
free at 
with a tube purchase of just $9 until Midnight on
25th January.

Pink Paradox Productions.
A lovely
kit for Valentines and also available at

(you need to scroll down to see it, its numbered
1 - 91 when downloaded).

Font of choice.

Paste element 135, resize 80% and apply the shadow.

the tube again but mirrored and resize it 80%, position in the frame, invert the
selectio and hit delete, deselect.  Apply the shadow to the frame and lower the
opacity of the tube to around 60, merge the tube down onto the paper then merge
the frame down onto the paper/tube and move into place.
