Pick Six Co-ordinating Papers from the Kit

Copy and Paste your first one above the rounded rectangle Fill one

With the rounded rectangle FRAME one layer selected, Click in side it with your magic wand.

Selections, Modify, Expand By Two. Selections, Invert.

With your Paper layer selected hit delete on your keyboard, Selections Select None.

Once you have added your paper you can delete your filled rectangle layers or merge your papers to them so that we don’t have tons of layers in our tag.

With your Frame One Layer selected again, Click inside with your magic wand, Selections, Modify, Contract by ten.

Choose a new paper and paste it as a new layer above your previous Paper.

Selections, Invert, With your new paper layer selected hit delete on your Keyboard, Selections, Select None.

Do this again with a third paper but Contract by twenty five. Repeat for the other rounded rectangle Fill layer

—

Copy the same steps for the black rectangle fills but with different contract settings as they are thinner.

After you have pasted and inverted your first paper you will contract just once with setting of five for your second paper.

You should end up with all rectangles filled with stacks of paper.

Stack your papers in different orders so they all look different.

—

Add a black drop shadow of your choice to all of the stacked paper layers (not the one on the bottom of each rectangle) I did V and H of 0,0, and varied the opacity and blur depending on the darkness of the paper and size of the strip.

Add a black drop shadow to all rectangular frame layers of 0,0,75,4.

—

Pick a dark paper and copy and paste as a new layer over the lots of circles

With the lots of circles layer selected, Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat, Selections, Modify, Expand by Two

With your paper layer active hit delete on your keyboard. Delete the lots of circles layer or merge the paper to it.

Add black dropshadow of 5,3,55,6.

—

Lets tidy our layers up a bit now, hide your white canvas and hide your intertwined circles frame and fill layers.

On one of the layers that are not hidden, right click, merge, merge visible.

Unhide your canvas and intertwined layers again.

If you have got a tube with a matching image like I have that’s great. If not you may want to fill your intertwined circles fill layer with a paper of your choice.

Copy and paste the Image as a new layer underneath your intertwined circles frame.

I duplicated my Image and mirrored it and arranged per the tag.
With the circles frame layer active, click inside with your magic wand, hold down shift and click the interwined part and the right hand side circle so the whole inner of the circles are selected. Seclections, Modify, Expand by two.

With your image selected hit delete on your keyboard. Now select your other image and hit delete on your keyboard again. They should both now be inside the Frames.

—

Now Copy and paste your tube as a new layer ontop of your image layers and the circles frame, mirror and arrange where it suits.

Add a black drop shadow to the intertwined circle frame of 0,0,75,4.

Add a black drop shadow to your tube of -5,12,75,12.

Open the Wordart, this is Fullsize so resize to about 10%, Position on your tag.

Adjust, Hue and Saturation, Move the Hue to a colour to suit your tag and amend the saturation for colour brightness. Add a black dropshadow of 0,0,55,4

Open Missys fab tag template

Remember to save often!

Delete the copyright layer

Pick three papers from the Kit and Open in PSP, I used Shabby Solid Green 02 and 03 and Shabby Solid Neutral 02

We are going to fill the Filmstrip Layer first with one of the papers Like so:

Take your first paper of choice and copy and paste it over the Film Strip layer.

With the FilmStrip layer selected, Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat. Modify,Expand by One. Selections Invert.

With your paper layer selected hit delete on your Keyboard. Selections, Select None.

Your paper should now fill the filmstrip layer. You can now right click on your paper layer and Merge Down so that your paper clips to your template layer.

Re-apply these steps for the wordart layer,I suggest using a darker paper for this, and also repeat the steps for the rectangle layer.

—

Copy and Paste Your Image that you are using above the Rectangle Layer.

Ideally it would look good if you have an image big enough to cover the wideth of the rectangle, mine wasn’t so I added it in three pieces and chose parts of the Image to show in each Film Strip Window. Erase the parts hanging out from the frame.

We are going to blend our image with the paper we added to our rectangle layer. To do this have your Image Layer that is contained within the rectangle selected in the Layer Palette. In your Layer Palette, above your top layer, there is a Blend Mode Option. Change this to something that suits well with your tag. The paper that I chose for my rectangle is dark and grungy so i chose Multiply which lets the paper blend with the image so it looks more textured and dirty, think about the paper you chose and match the blending type so it looks best.

—

I’m now going to add my Tube from the image ontop of my tag to add some dimension, copy and paste your tube on top of all other layers.

Open the Grass Knot and resize to 30% Add to your tag, duplicate and Mirror

Open the Butterfly and resize to 20% Add to your tag, duplicate and Mirror

Add black dropshadow to your tube of -1,9,55,8

Add black dropshadows to all other layers of 2,2,48,6

Open a new White canvas 500 x 500

Remember to save often!

Open the Picture Frame and resize to 50% and paste onto your canvas

We are going to build a fantasy scene behind the Frame, I started with the Grass hills and

resized this to 80% and copied and pasted behind my Frame and erased the parts that were sticking out.

I added all of the mushrooms and resized those to 20% and copied and pasted them infront of the grass hills.

Choose a selection of greenery and resize and place into position.

Next I took the cloud, butterfly and rainbow and resized all to 20% and positioned behind everything.

The swing and road resize to 20% and copy and paste and position.

—

Create a new layer above your white canvas. Fill this with blue or a gradient, this will be our sky.
Select your Picture Frame and click inside with your magic wand. Selections, Modify, expand by 5.
Selections Invert.

On your sky layer hit delete on your keyboard. Selections, select none.

—

Open the Elf and take a copy (Shift D)

Keep one Full size as we will be adding him Last.

Resize one of the Elfs to 20% and then copy and paste him above your Green Hills layer.

Duplicate him as many times as you wante and create a scene of lots of elfs picking flowers!

—

Create another new layer above your white canvas and select your picture tube tool in psp

Find grass and place some grass around under the Picture Frame, I added Grass on two layers and moved them around to get the shape in my tag

—

Add your Larger Tube and position him so that he is picking flowers from the grass, I resized mine to 50%

At this point I added shadows to most of my layers, and then merged all of my layers except for my white canvas, grass, and new tube.

This is so that I could move my frame up a bit so it looked further back on the grass and gave more room for the larger elf.

I added shadows of 2,2,48,6. I didn’t add a shadow to my rainbow nor my cloud as it would make them too dark.

Add a shadow of -2,9,65,9 to the Large Elf.

If you merged your frame and its contents like I did you can add a further shadow underneath your Frame so there is a shadow between the Frame and the grass. Settings 8,0,55,9

Add your name and copyrights, I would appreciate if you would credit me with the kit name if you did not use any PTU tubes in your tag
