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 another fabulous freebie kit from

Chaos Priestess.


This is a mini kit called "Dark Easter" and is available at

I used the tube 40-3 from
Enys Guerrero
which you can purchase at

Font of choice.




 

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

 

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

Paste element 19 and resize 80%.

Paste element 08, resize 90%, mirror and over to the left slightly.

Paste element 15, resize 70% and duplicate, position on copy top right and one bottom left then apply the shadow to each.

Paste element 13, resize 40%, position at the top and apply the shadow.

Paste frame 1, resize 60% and rotate 20 degrees to the left, select the interior with your magic wand, expand he selection by 20, make a new layer below it and paste paper 4 into the selection, deselect, apply the shadow to he frame, merge it down onto the paper and move into place.

Paste frame 2, resize 65% and position, select the interior with your magic wand, expand the selection as before, make a new layer and paste the same paper into it, deselect and apply the shadow to the frame.

Paste your tube, resize, apply the shadow and position in the frame.  I resized my tube 42%.

Paste element 5, resize 30%, position above the bottom merged frame and apply the shadow.

Paste element 13 again, resize 55%, position on the right and apply the shadow.

Paste element 16, resize 25%, position below the tube and apply the shadow.

Paste element 12 on the top, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 18, resize 30%, position on the right, duplicate, mirror the copy, position it on the left and apply the shadow to each.

Paste element 14, resize 50%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 2, resize 40%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 13 again, duplicate, resize bottom copy 50% and position at the bottom, resize the top copy 40% and mirror it, move into place and apply the shadow to each.

Paste element 16, resize 30%, position on the left and apply the shadow.

Paste element 3, resize 30%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 17, resize 40%, mirror, position on the right, duplicate, resize the copy another 70% and position on the left, apply the shadow to each.

Paste element 5, resize 30%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 7, resize 50%, position between the two copies of element 13, duplicate, move the copy along to the right so it shows on the right of the group of flowers there, erase the part that overlaps with the first copy hiding the join behind the flowers then apply the shadow to each.

Paste element 10 on the top, resize 35%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 6, resize 45%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 11, resize 30%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 4, resize 18%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 9, resize 15%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 20, resize 55%, position below the skull and apply the shadow.

Make a new layer below element 20, set your foreground colour to white and open your airbrush then, with the settings as in my screenshot below, draw a squiggle behind the text, something like I have here, size doesn't matter.  Go to adjust - blur - guassian blur and apply with the radius of 20.  Now resize this and lower the opacity if needed, we just want a bit of mist behind the text so it shows up better.







Paste element 1, resize 70%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Check your layers and make any adjustments, then crop your tag, add your copyright information and text and export on a transparent background as a png.
