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 fabulous freebie kit

"Steampunk Forever"

and matching tube from

Adrienne's Designs.

This is a really lovely kit and there are two sets of
matching tubes all up for grabs at
Thank you Adrienne!









 

I used png mask 242 from Mizteeques Digital Designs.


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

 


Open a new transparent canvas 750 by 850 pixels and fill with white.

Paste element 90, resize 40%, position right at the top and apply the shadow.

Paste element 77, resize 45%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 5, resize 50%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 69, resize 45%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste frame 2 and resize 30%, select the interior with your magic wand, expand the selection by 20, make a new layer below it, paste paper 2 into the selection, deselect, apply the shadow to the frame, merge it down onto the paper and position.

Paste element 67, 35%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 79, resize 35%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 3, resize 70%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 32, resize 30%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 31, resize 30%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 71, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste your tube, resize and position. I resized my tube 38%.

Paste element 29, resize 30%, mirror, position below the tube and apply the shadow.

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

Paste element 4, resize 50%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 84, resize 35%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 114, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 103, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 37 on the top, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 56, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 115, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 32, resize 30%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 39, resize 25%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 97, resize 20%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 58, resize 25%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 120, resize 20%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 64, resize 20%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 112, resize 22%, position and apply the shadow.

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

Paste element 102, resize 10%, mirror, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 138, resize 17%, position and apply the shadow.

Paste element 123, resize 12%, position and apply the shadow.

Open the mask, select all, float and defloat,  make a new layer, paste paper 2 into the selection, copy the paper and paste it on your tag just above the white background, resize 80% and position on the left towards the top. 

Go back to the mask, make another layer, mirror paper 2 then copy it and paste it again in the selection then copy and paste on your canvas as before, resize it 80%, mirror it and position on the right at the top.

Duplicate the last mirrored copy of the mask twice, move one copy right down so just a little bit shows on the bottom left hand corner of your tag and erase the rest of it.  Mirror the other copy and position it on the right towards the bottom.

Check your layers, add your credit and text and export on a transparent background as a png
