Tag Tutorial - Sparkly Elegance - FTU (Time Limit)
Tube Close Up of Choice - I'm using one by Barbara Jensen
which you can get from her site HERE (Over 18's only as the site
contains artistic nudity)
Scrapkit - "Framboise" by Latham, Lya and digiscrap.ch HERE
It's a FULL SIZED Collab from www.digiscrapbooking.ch and at
the time of writing (25th Nov)it was a freebie to download...so be quick!
If it is PTU when you see this tutorial, then I'm sorry 'bout that and
if you really want to do this tutorial, then you'll need to purchase it...or
not do the tut lol xx
Mask - I'm using WSL_Mask220 by Chelle Weescotslass which
you can download from her tut site which is linked over on the right
under Cool Supplies
Mura Meister Copies
Scripty Font of Choice
This tag is for Chas, who writes amazing tuts and makes
gorgeous tags :)

C&P
Move to the top of the LP
(Layers, Arrange, Bring to Top)
and
apply a dropshadow 0, 0, 35.00, 7.00
and then
Mura Meister Copies
set to
Star Cluster preset and change the Shift X and Shift Y sliders to 64
OK to Apply
and once applied, Adjust, Sharpness, Sharpen
and move under all the elements in the LP except the frames
Open latham_element37
Resize 20%
C&P
Place as mine lined up with the top left frame
and move down the LP
so it's under the scattered gems
Now let's fill the frames and then finish off with a few
more elements lol!
OK - choose a paper
I used
latham_papier8
Image, Resize 15%
C&P
Do a Selection Delete with an Expand of 8 on the frame layer
and delete the paper excess
Selections None
So now your frames have a paper fill
so choose your image/close ups to use
I chose to use just one
and placed it in the bottom frame
I also duplicated, blurred and soft light on the Top tube
and applied Xero Greytinter to the bottom tube
and also a drop shadow
then
did a Selection Delete as before
Tip: I also deleted two of the gems that were covering
her eyes lol!
Now for some shadows
See which elements you think need a shadow and add one
I used
-3, 5, 17, 3.00 Black to the berries, lavender, gems and cherry blossom
Open Lya Design (5)
Image, Resize
30%
C&P
Place as mine
I placed one under the gems in the top frame area
and then
Pasted again and placed over the bottom of the curtain
Tip: you may want to floodfill the White Back
with a dark colour so you can see where the white sparklies are
You don't want to chop them off when done - so
I tend to do this so I can check lol - once checked, you can change back to White
Crop the canvas now to a more taggy size and take care
not to chop off the white sparklies or shadow edges
On the Frames layers,
Apply a shadow of 0, 0, 40.00, 10.26 Black
Now taking a favourite scripty font, type some wording that
applies to the tag and place on the top left as mine
and add a subtle shadow (the one I added to the gems first will do)
Then
use a colour from the tag and Stroke of 1
and add the name
Then Shadow as before
Add your artist info etc
and
Delete the White Background
All done :)
Thanks for looking xx
