Frosty Love

Tagging Angel N Scraps has an adorable new kit called "Frosty Love", tagger size but created at 300 dpi so it can still be used for scrapping. To prove it I make you a quick page freebie along with 2 tags I had fun making (with accompanying tuts, of course).

As soon as I saw this kit, I could immediately visualize a couple of wonderful tags. I hope you like them as much as I do.

(Make certain show transform controls is checked to allow easy resizing of elements.)

What I did:
1. Open a new blank transparent canvas. In this case I started with 700 pixels x700 pixels but later enlarged to 900 pixels x 900 pixels. Use the circular selection tool to create a circle. Fill with background of choice (paper 6).
2. Choose a bower element (rose swag 1). Copy & paste, positioning aligned with the upper curve of the circle. Apply bevel & emboss effect.
3. Choose your background elements (lamp post, metal tree, carriage). Copy & paste, resizing as needed & positioning as desired. Apply bevel & emboss effect to each element.
4. Choose a fae element (2- pavilion). Copy & paste, resizing as needed & positioning in the center. Apply bevel & emboss effect.
5. Copy & paste your poser of choice (Medi-snowqueen 4), resizing as needed & positioning as desired. Apply bevel & emboss effect.
6. Enter desired text. I used CaslonNo540SwaD italics 12, but used the transform controls to enlarge the main text after the tag was made. Apply bevel & emboss effect. Use a smaller font, with no effects to enter tag information along the bottom.
7. Merge visible & save.

While I was going for a romantic look with the first tag, I wanted light-hearted fun for the second tag & to use some of the snowman elements. I purchased the poser set a couple of months ago & when I was going through my collection, Snoeflake demanded to be used.

This was a fun kit to work with & hint, hint, is currently reduced in price!

My computer is currently driving me nuts; including glitches in typing, & it has to go into the shop. They can’t come get it until Tuesday or later, but is barely useable. I’ll be back once it’s fixed.

Enjoy
