Summer Fun!

Summer Fun! Tube of choice, I used Suzanne Woolcott and Rion Vernon Scrap used Longing for Summer By Stacey's Scraps Font of choice Pea Andrea 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) Now select all and add a new layer, flood fill this layer with #48bfe7 add a round mask of choice, now you want to open Element6 c/p as a new layer resize this by 40%, Now open Element7 c/p as a new layer, image resize this by 40% Two times (always using smartsize) now go layer duplicate and image mirror (you can use my tag as an example for placement or put them where you would like) Now open element5 c/p as a new layer and resize this by 10% place to your liking, now lets open Element9 c/p as a new layer resize this by 13% I duplicated and mirrored this on my tag, Now lets open Element3 c/p as a new layer, we want to move this layer BELOW your island layer, now resize it by 20% arrange to hide the dark area at the bottom, or to your liking, Now lets open Element2 c/p as a new layer, bring this to the top, resize this by 10% now go image rotate free rotate to the right by 15% now lets open Element4 c/p as a new layer and resize it by 10% place to your liking on the sand, now lets open Element8 c/p as a new layer resize this by 5% I arranged mine to look like it is part on the sand and part on the water, Remember this is your tag so if you want to add more elements or less it is your choice, I use the alpha that comes with this kit to do the "summer fun" word art, resizing each letter by 15% (when satisfied with my word art, I hid all other layers and merged the letters together, then added a gradient glow with eyecandy) Now you can add a drop shadow of choice to your elements and add a tube of choice to your tag. 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
