Lot's Of Love!

Lot's Of Love! Tube of choice, I used Suzanne Woolcott and Elias Chatzoudis Scrap used Love Bugs by Clarey (Full size kit used in tut) Font of choice I used Ashbury I used Eyecandy 4000 glass with my own settings and Eyecandy gradient glow on the names on my tags. Graphic Program of choice, I use PSP 9 This tutorial assumes you have working knowledge of paint shop pro, All of my tutorials are my own creation and any similarity with any other tutorial is purely coincidential. Please do not copy my tutorials to anyplace, please link back to my blog! Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white, (you can ALWAYS resize later, I like having plenty of room to work) Open clarey_lovebugs_lovewordart and c/p as a new layer resize this by 18% now select all, float, defloat, and then invert your selection, open clarey_lovebugs_paper1 resize this by 18% and c/p as a new layer, hit delete and then select none, delete the original word art layer.

Now open clarey_lovebugs_butterfly, c/p as a new layer bring this to the top and resize by 15% and then mirror now place on your string, Now add a dropshadow of choice to your elements, I did not dropshadow the wordart layer, add a tube of choice, when you are happy with your tag hide the white background layer and merge visible. I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info, it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right information and Save the way you prefer to save tags, I hope you enjoyed this tut smiles christy Ü
