Green Goddess tags & tuts

Funky Fever has a new tag kit out & I just had to play with it. You can find it here. No quick pages because the kit was created at 72 dpi, but I have 2 tags with accompanying tutorials.


Tutorial for “Fairly Enchanted” tag
What I used:
Tag kit by Funky Fever called “Green Goddess” available here

Free poser from U f designs http://ufdesigns.com/

What I did:
I used Paint Shop Pro XI to create this tag.
1. Open a blank canvas 600 pixels x 600 pixels. Use the selection tool to create a medium circle. Fill with background of choice (paper 3).
2. Choose a frame (fancy frame 2) & copy & paste onto circle.
3. Copy & paste the poser of your choice (st.pat109). Use the pick tool to adjust for size as desired.
4. Create new layer. With another background of choice loaded as both foreground & background (paper 7), use ellipse tool to draw a large circle that covers the tag.
5. Switch to text tool & click at edge of circle where you want text to begin – make sure the icon is the A with a curve shape. Change foreground to colour of choice (black) & background to colour or pattern of choice (silver glitter). Type text in font of choice (Easy Street EPS 16).
6. Move layer with this large circle & text to back.
7. Create new layer & move this layer to front. Using some font & text colour(s) type desired name. Apply Effects>3D>chisel>transparent thin. Switch to a small font & a single colour in both background & foreground to type tag information along bottom of tag.
8. Merge visible & save.
