If it resembles any others I’m not meaning to copy..

I’m working with a PTU Scrap kit by
Wicked Princess Scraps

The name of the scrap kit

She sells at many stores you can find them

All on her blog

I’m using the PTU artwork of Keith Garvey

You can find all his tubes at his very own store

Here Garv-Girls

I’m using a FTU Mask by Weescotslass Creations

You can download all of her mask’s

Here Weescotslass Creations

I’m using Mask293

I’m also using EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow white

(this is an older Plug-in)

I’m using a Font names Platinum or a font of your choice…

Open a 600x600 tag

Open PP10 Flood fill the bottom layer of your tag merge mask to a group layer, add a sharpen to the layer and a slight drop shadow also

Open your tube there are 5 layers with the tube I’m using today

I’m taking the very large headshot

Open Window take your headshot and flood fill the windows in the frame,

It should be just her left eye showing in the windows of the frame, when done flood filling pull this to the left hand side of the mask…

Open Frame3 c/p re-size by75%, scoot this up close to the window on the left hand side of your tag, add a Gradient glow of white with these

Settings, pull the left hand side behind the window…

Take (layer3) in the tube I’m using paste it above the two layers and re-size by 65% pull it to the bottom part of the frame3 add a sharpen to the tube

Flower4 c/p re-size by 40% pull to the right hand side of tube and frame, then mirror it

Book2 c/p re-size by 35% pull it to the left bottom of the window…

Lamp c/p re-size by 50% pull it to the left hand side of the books

Candel1(2) c/p re-size by 25% pull to the right hand side of the lamp

Make a new layer and using your picture tube tool find the Flame and add a small flame to the candle, I used a 25size flame to the candle you can add what ever size you want, it’s just a flame.. (if I could animate this is where I’d try to animate the flame)

Cross c/p re-size by 45% pull it to the right hand side of the books, leave it slanted the way it is..

Skull2 c/p re-size by 355 pull it to the edge of the rose over the leaf…

Now go back to your tube (layer2 for mine) paste it over the mask layer, using your section tool, cut out her face behind the frame3 I did this twice and mirrored one where she is facing me twice in the frame…

Add your copyright to the tag, and make sure you add a wording to it, as blank tags are against most artists’ TOU…
