Tag Tutorial - When Irish Eyes - PTU
Tubes/Images of your Choice - I'm using a Tube and Close up
Artwork © Jennifer Janesko
If you wish to use the same tube you must purchase it from CILM
However feel free to use whatever you have
Scrapkit - A superb St Pats kit by my pal Clarey called "Luck of the Irish"
It's PTU and available from her store HERE
Xero Graphics Radiance
Mask of your Choice - I used one of my own Mask403

Open your Chosen Tube/Image/Close up
C&P
Place on the tag canvas

Apply Xero Radiance on these settings...
Strangeness - 103

Truth - 82
Beauty - 131
Apply a favourite dropshadow if using a tube
then
use Selection Delete as before to get rid of the excess tube
Repeat for the other frame with either a close up or
different tube/image of your choice
This time, I didn't add the Radiance as my image was so light already

Now add dropshadows to the two frames
I used

Then, on the elements - I used 2, 2, 45, 5.00 Black
Now crop the tag canvas to remove any excess paper or tube/image that may be outside the canvas
and
add your name in a style and font of your liking
I used a glitter fill and added the name to the pot and used
the element dropshadow
Finally,

Hope you enjoy and if you celebrate St Patrick's Day - have a happy one!
