Give thanks for 2012

This tutorial is written by my on November 16 2012

Thanksgiving is a time of the year where we give thanks to all whe have been blessed with. I know I never say thank you enough to all the wonderful ladies I get to work with.

So this tutorial is dedicated to many ladies that I hold very dear to my heart.

I won’t list them here, as I’m sure they all know who they are, and how much I adore the time and friendship I get and try to give back.

So Give thanks is using a PTU tube from indie-Zine

I’m using the wonderful artowk of Dave Fiver

You need a license to use his work

You can get that here indie-Zine

I’m using a PTU scrap kit by Niqui’s Designs

She sells at many stores, but you can find them all
The name of the kit is Autumn Pleasures 

Here Niquis designson her blog

Open a 600x600 tag size

C/P as a new layer re-size by 60 rotate by 90 to the right, it should still be in the center

Take your tube and paste it as a new layer behind the frame, using your selection tool, cut out just the face, then delete the rest of the tube. Copy that layer, and mirror it to the left hand side of frame, making it look like twins.

Take element 18 re-size by 60 and pull it to the bottom left hand side of frame, then you will re-size it again by 75 sharpen after this re-size…

Open element 17 C/P re-size by 65% pull it to the upper left hand side of the frame; add a drop shadow to the element…

Open element 47 C/P as a new layer (behind mushroom) and rotate it by 45 to the right, and pull it down to the bottom of the frame…

Now we make the background for your tag..

Open element 41 paste it behind the tubes in your tag, rotate it to the right by 45 again, then copy and paste it again mirror that layer, and merge them down; you will then clean the tree bottom off the merged layer, after clearing that off with your eraser you will copy that flip it over and pull it down  so it stick out of the bottom of the frame also…

Add your copyright and what ever saying you wish to use on the tag, and your done..

I’m using the font Aquarella but you can use any font you wish to use

I’m using a foreground color of tan from the mushroom, and a darker red from the leaves on the branch..

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and I'd love to see any tags' made out of the tut..
