Starlight Kisses

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorials are registered with TWI.


For this tutorial you will need
Scrapkit. I am using a kit called Feathery Hugs and Butterfly Kisses by Crimson Butterfly Scrapz. You can purchase the kit from Digital Chaos here http://www.fall3nangel.com/store/

This tutorial is written for this specific kit.

Tube(s) of choice. I am using the work of Jasmine Becket-Griffith. You must purchase a license from CILM, www.cilm.com, to use her work.

Plugins-Eye Candy gradient glow(optional)

New Image-600x600-transparent.
Choose a paper for your background and paste onto your canvas. Resize if needed. If at any time a paper needs resizing, go to image-resize-I usually start with about 85%, all layers unchecked. You can repeat it a few times if needed.


Paste a frame as a new layer, I chose the triple frame. Resize if needed. For any elements you can use the method above or you can use the arrow tool by clicking it, make sure the layer you wish to resize is active, and once you click the arrow tool you will see a box around the layer you are on, grab the box by one of the corners and drag it to the size you want.

This next part may be a little tricky. Grab your selection tool, set it to ellipse, mode add, feather 0. Try to start in the center of the middle frame and draw out an ellipse the size of the frame without going outside the edges of the frame. If the marching ants are not around the border of the frame quite right then go to selections, select none, and try again until it is right. Once selected, choose another paper and paste as a new layer. Go to selections, invert, and hit delete.
Now the paper should only show through the frame. Select none. Move this layer below the frame layer.

Repeat those steps for the other two parts of the frame.

Give your frame only a drop shadow, go to effects, 3d effects, drop shadow. I used 0,0,75,10, and black.

Open the feather spray1 and paste as a new layer. Resize. Place at the bottom center of your tag. Duplicate it and position the duplicate on one side, the duplicate again and place on the other side. I also moved my center one up slightly. See my tag for reference.

Open the feather cluster1 and paste onto your canvas. Resize and place at the bottom of the tag so it goes all the way across, again see my tag for reference.

Give it the same drop shadow.

Paste the flower as a new layer, resize it and place one on each side of the frame, see my tag for placement. Move this layer above the frame but below the feather sprays.

Get the feather3 and paste as a new layer. Move this layer to just above the background paper. Place on one side where the side of the little frame attaches to the center frame.
It should stick out slightly from the top and bottom. If it is too big, resize it. Duplicate and go image mirror. This should put the duplicate where the two frames meet on the other side.
See my tag for reference.

Now it is time for the tube. Paste your tube as a new layer. I am going to do two versions of mine. The first one is to resize your tube and move it below the frame layer but above the paper.
Position so it shows through the frame. Once happy with the position, grab your selection tool, set to ellipse same as we did before, start in the center of the middle frame and make it the same size as the center frame, just like before. Selections invert, and back on your tube layer hit delete. Now there should be nothing sticking out of the frame. Select none.

Now do the same for the two little frames, you can use the same tube or a different one from the same artist if you choose. Once you are done with the two smaller ones, double click on one of the tube layers you used for the smaller frames. Change the blend mode to luminance. Do this for the other tube that was used in the other smaller frame.

For the other version the two smaller frames are done the same but for the main tube I pasted as a new layer and left it the size it was and positioned over the center frame rather than making it inside the frame. Make sure this layer is above the frame. See the bottom tag for reference.

You can now add any other elements you choose and place how you like. I placed the star 1 on each side and moved the layer under the frame and paper for the frame so they stick out.

Now is the time to resize your whole tag if you wish. Go to image resize, about 85% all layers checked.

Add your copyright so it is clearly visible.

Add your name. I used eye candy 4000 gradient glow with a size of 5 on mine but this is optional. Add a drop shadow.

Thats it, you are done.

NEW TUTORIAL- CHRISTMAS TEARS

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorials are registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need

Scrapkit. I am using a PTU kit called Crimson Christmas Tears which you can purchase from Digital Chaos here http://fall3nangel.com/store/

Tube of choice- I am using the work of Jennifer Janesko. You must purchase a license from CILM, www.cilm.com, to use her work.

Plugins- eye candy 400(optional)

New Image-600x600-transparent.
Paste a paper of choice as a new layer. Resize if needed by going to image-resize, use about 85% with all layers unchecked. This will be our background layer.
I then pasted a premade border that came with the kit as a new layer. Resize twice by 85%. Duplicate this layer and lower the opacity to 50%.

Paste a frame as a new layer. I used frame 3 from this kit and I resized it using the same method as above until it fit nicely.

Grab your selection tool--type is rectangle--mode is add--feather 0--anti-alias checked. Draw a rectangle around each of the two frame pieces one at a time. Make it the same size without going over the edge of them. Keep selected.

Add a new layer, Choose another paper, copy it and back on our canvas go to edit and paste into selection. Select none. Move this layer below the frame layer.

Paste the rose2 as a new layer, make sure this layer is below the frame layer but above the paper layer we just made. Resize it so it fits nicely inside the side frame. See my tag for reference.

Make your background paper active. Open the crimson tears and paste as a new layer. Resize and position in the middle toward the top of your tag. See my tag for reference. Duplicate, and slide the
duplicate to the right side of your tag. Once happy duplicate this one and go image-mirror. Position on the left side of your tag. Again see my tag for reference.

Make your top layer active and paste your tube as a new layer. Resize if needed. Position where you like, I put mine so it looks like it is sitting on the longer part of the frame. Give it a drop shadow of choice.

Paste one of the snowflake charms as a new layer. Resize if needed and position so it looks like it is hanging off of the bottom of the end of the longer rectangle part of the frame. Duplicate and go image- mirror. This should put it on the opposite end. Duplicate once more and position in the middle.

Open a flower and resize a few times. Place it over the circle part of one of the charms so it looks as though the flower is attaching the charm to the frame. Duplicate twice and position one over each charm in the same way.
See my tag for placement. Give each charm a drop shadow.

Copy and paste the rose1 as a new layer. Go to Image-free rotate-right-90 degrees-all layers unchecked-rotate single layer checked.

Resize so it fits nicely inside the longer rectangle part of the frame. See my tag for reference. Duplicate, and mirror. You should now have one at each end of the frame. Make sure each of these two layers are below your frame but above the paper. Merge the two roses together by clicking on the top one and go layers, merge down.

Now you can use eye candy 4000 gradient glow with a glow width of 3, soft corners 25 and opactiy 100. Color of white.
If you dont have eyecandy 4000 you can either try using a white drop shadow instead or just skip this step.

Make the other rose layer active that we pasted earlier and give it the same glow or drop shadow.

Now is the time to resize your tag if you want. Go to image-resize-choose your percentage-all layers checked this time.

Now add your copyright info so it is clearly visible.

Add your name. Position where you like or see my tag for placement. I added the same glow as we used earlier.

Save and you are done.

You may want to use two tubes for this tutorial from the same artist.


New image-600x600.
Copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. This will be our background. Resize if needed.

If you are using this kit or a similar kit, paste some pumpkins along the bottom. Otherwise, use any elements such as flowers, that you think would look good.

Paste your tube as a new layer and position toward the center of your tag. Give it a drop shadow of -2,0,100,6 black.

Paste a scarecrow, or maybe another tube of choice if your kit doesn't have a scarecrow, to the right of the tag.
Move this layer so it is below everything except our paper background. See my tag for reference.

Copy and paste a frame and position to the left of the tag in the top corner.
Resize as needed. See my tag for reference.

Open a paper to use in the frame. Click in the frame with the magic wand.
Now because my frame is decorated, i went selections-modify-expand by 14.
If your frame is undecorated you will only need to expand by 3-5.
Keep seleceted. Paste the paper as a new layer. Selections-invert-delete. Selections-select none.

Give the frame layer a drop shadow of 0,0,100,5,black.

Make the paper for the frame active. Paste some word art as a new layer and position in the right side of the frame. Resize if need to make it fit. Paste a flower of choice next to the word art, toward the bottom of the frame. resize if needed.

Now is the time to resize your tag if you wish to do so.
Add your copyright info. Add your name, postition how you like. Give it a drop shadow and thats it, you are done.

Here is the version using only flowers and another tube

Mysterious Whispers

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorials are registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need

One or two tubes of choice. The tube I am using comes with two seperate pieces on different layers. I am using the work of Tony Mauro. You must purchase a license from AMI, http://www.artisticmindsinc.com/ to use his work.
I happened to purchase mine when he was with cilm.

Scrapkit. I am using a kit called Whispered Serenity which you can purchase from Digital Chaos here http://www.fall3nangel.com/store/

New Image-600x600-transparent.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer. If needed resize by about 85%, all layers unchecked.

Now paste a paper that either looks crumpled or that has burnt edges and resize by about 75%, again all layers unchecked.
See my tag for reference to get an idea of how this should look.
If it is still too big, resize again. Once happy, change the blend mode by double clicking the layer in the layer palette and where it says blend mode, change it to soft light.

Paste your tube as a new layer. My tube came with two pieces on seperate layers. So for the first part I used the mirror image.
Again, if needed resize as above. Lower the opacity on this tube layer by double clicking on the tube layer and where it says opacity, change it to about 60. This is where you need a second tube.
I pasted the other part of my tube, which was just the vamp lady, to the right side of my mirror tube. Once happy with the positioning, make sure the bottom part of this tube is at least slightly hanging over the bottom of our smaller paper. Make the smaller paper layer active. Selections-select all. Selections float-then selections defloat. Now go selections invert. Make your regular tube layer active and hit delete. Select None. See my tag for reference for how your tube should look.

Make the paper background layer active(the big paper).

Copy and paste a flower of choice as a new layer and position
so that it is centered over our tube that has the lowered opacity.
If it looks too big resize it a little. Lower the opacity to about
50%.

Make your top layer active. Copy and paste another flower of choice as a new layer and position in the top left corner.
Duplicate and go image mirror. This should position the duplicate in the right top corner. You may need to move it slightly. Once happy merge these two together by going layers, merge, down. Duplicate and go image flip and postion so they sit on the bottom corners.

Paste some diamonds or a doodle and position toward the top left so they sit just above the mirror. erase any parts that are showing through our flower with the lowered opacity so that it looks like it goes under the flower. See my tag for reference. Once happy duplicate it, and go image flip, and position so it sits the same way as the top.
Again erase any bits that show through the flower. See my tag for reference.
Now merge these two diamond/doodle layers together by going layers, merge, down.
Duplicate, and mirror.
Position the same way against the mirror. Merge these two together.
Lower the opacity to 60.

Copy and paste a ribbon of choice. Go image-free rotate-right-90 and make sure that all layers and rotate single layer are UNchecked. ok.
Position along the left side of your tag. See my tag for reference. The ribbon i used had a bow on it. If you are using a plain ribbon, you may wish to paste a bow, rotate it as we did the ribbon and paste it in the center of the ribbon. If you have to do it this way, merge the two layers once happy with the position. Then duplicate it, image, mirror. If needed position it so it sits properly on the right side of the tag. Again, see my tag for reference.

Now you can either leave the ribbons as is or you can cut of the ends so that they end where our smaller paper ends. To do this make the smaller paper layer active and go selections-select all- float-defloat-invert. Now make your first ribbon layer active and grab your eraser tool. Do not hit delete for this or it will delete half your ribbon.
With your eraser tool about size 16, hardness 19, erase the bottom part of the ribbon straight across even with the marching ants around the bottom of the smaller paper and erase the parts below that. Do not erase anything higher the where the marching ants are. Now do the same thing along the top part of the ribbon.
Then make the other ribbon layer active and do the same thing on the bottom and top.
Select none.

Now give each of your ribbon layers a drop shadow. I used 0,-2,71,6, black. Then repeat changing only the -2 to 2. Do the same for the other ribbon.

Now is the time if you wish to resize your tag to do so. Make sure you check all layers.

Add your copyright info. Now add your name. Convert to raster. With your magic wand click inside each letter. Make sure the mode for the magic wand is set to add(shift), feather 0,tolerance 10. Once you have clicked inside each letter, go to effects, 3d effects, inner bevel, bevel 2, width 6, smoothness 28, depth 12, ambience and shininess 0, angle 318, intensity 40, elevation 34, color white. Select none.

And thats it, you are done!

Now paste a different flower and place on the same side of the frame in the center of the flowers you just pasted. See my tag for reference.
Merge this flower to the other flowers. Now duplicate this layer and go image--mirror. This should position the duplicate on the opposite side of the frame.

Now choose another element, I used a fan, and paste across the bottom of the frame. Make sure you place these above the frame layer but below the tube layer. I slightly rotated the first one, then i duplicated it, and went image mirror.
This should put it on the opposite bottom corner.
I then placed two more fans along the bottom center of the frame.
see my tag for reference. Merge only these embellishments together.
Give it a dop shadow.

I then pasted a letter envelope in the right corner of my tag. You can use any embellishment you think looks good.

New image-600x600-transparent

Choose a paper to be used as a border. Paste as a new layer onto your canvas. If it is too big, go to image-resize-about 85%, all layers unchecked.
If it is still too big repeat that step till it is the size of the canvas.

Now choose a paper to use for a background. Paste as a new layer and resize it untill it is slightly smaller than the first paper we pasted. Now it should
look like the bottom paper is a border to the background paper.

Paste some journal papers as a new layer toward the top left of your tag. Resize if needed. You can use the same method as before or you can use the little pick tool, which is the little arrow tool. If you click this, you will see a box around the layer you are working on. Grab one of the corners and drag it slowly to the size you want. Rotate it slightly.
See my tag for reference.

Paste a butterfly as a new layer and resize. Position it in the top center of the papers. Again see my tag for reference.

Paste a frame as a new layer. Resize it and position to the top right of your tag. See my tag for placement. You will need to rotate it slightly.

On your frame layer, Use your magic wand again and click in the center of the frame. Go to selections-modify-expand by 3. Selections invert. Make the tube layer active and hit delete. Select none.

Make your frame layer active. Go to layers-merge-down. This should merge your frame and tube layer we just did. Now do this one more time and it should merge those with the paper for the frame. Now you should have one layer with the entire photo we created. Give it a drop shadow.

Duplicate the photo and go image mirror. Position toward the bottom of the tag. Move this layer below the journal papers layer. See my tag for placement.

Paste a key as a new layer. Resize and rotate it slightly. Position so it sits on top of part of the bottom photo and the corner of the journal papers. Make sure this layer is above the journal papers layer.
Again see my tag for how it should look.

Paste a flower branch as a new layer and position on the right side of the tag. Make sure this layer is just above the background paper layer. You should see the flowers stick out a little on the side. Once happy, duplicate and go image mirror.

Now paste your main tube as a new layer and position where you like it or how i did mine. Give it a drop shadow.
