Tag Tutorial - Not Poisonous - FTU



For this tag, you will need

Tube Close Up of Choice - I'm using a gorgeous tube by © Ismael Rac

which I purchased @ AMI


Scrapkit - FTU - Poison Rock Girl by Bel Viddoti

Available for download from her blog HERE

I've seen this one around so I know it's not "new" but

it's fairly new to me, and I think it's cool :)

Note: Bel's TOU very kindly state that she does not

require credit on tags, thank you for that xx


My Mask - Vix_Mask363
which you can get from my tutorial website on the Goodies page


Mura Meister Copies


Penta.com Colour Dot


Xero Graphics Greyscaler


Start with The Usual

then


Open the frame07

Image, Resize 80%

C&P

Place centrally in the tag canvas


Open Paper 15

C&P

Place under the frame layer

Open Paper05

Repeat as above

but

Move the paper over on the left side - see my tag

to get the idea of where you line it up

Add a Dropshadow to this paper

2, 2, 45.00, 5.00, Black

Then take Magic Wand

Click inside the frame and

do a Modify Expand 4 Selection Invert Delete

on both paper layers


Open the Close up (or just the face of a very large tube)

C&P

Move it under the striped paper layer

but above the other paper layer

within the frame


Duplicate the tube

On the top tube layer - Adjust, Blur, Gaussian Blur, 2.00

and on the bottom tube layer - Xero Greyscaler

on the default settings

Then back to the top layer

and change the Blend Mode to Overlay

Nifty, eh! lovely and moody effect -

It's like Minxy's method, but with a slight twist lol!!

Now

Selection Delete the tube excess outside the frames

like you did for the Papers.


Open Paper20

Resize as before

C&P

Move below the other layers to

just above the White Back

and Apply my mask - Vix_Mask363

Layers, Merge Group

then apply Penta.com Colour Dot

on

Value 100

Distance 2


Open the star03

Image, Resize 25%

C&P

Place centrally in the canvas

Bring to Top so you can see it

Repeat this with the star05

so this pink one will be above the black one

Now

Image

Mirror

the pink one only

and then move it down slightly over to the left

so the two stars should compliment each other

Apply a dropshadow to each star - I used 2, 2, 45, 5.00, Black again

then

merge the star layers together

and now

Effects, Mura Meister Copies

Encircle

and change the X and Y Sliders to 65

Apply

and then move into place to compliment the middle

section of the tag

then

Duplicate the stars layer

and move one right down the Layer

Palette to just above the Mask layer


Now take your Eraser and on the top one

Carefully erase from top right

down the edge

to just over from the staple bit of the frame on bottom right

See my tag for ref

Take care when erasing shadows etc


Now add the same shadow to the frame layer


Open one of the bows

Image, Resize 50%

C&P

Place as mine and shadow as before


Open the wire

Image, Resize, 70%

C&P

Move it over and line it up top left as I have

done so it's just touching the butterfly from the mask layer

Duplicate

Image

Mirror

Image

Flip

and move both these wire layers down

to just above the mask layer

and apply shadow as before


Open one of the wordarts

Now, place on the tag under wire layers

lined up with the frame at the top

and apply the same shadow
