News and More

 


Hello everyone!


I am letting you all know that I will be updating my blogs as time permits.

A lot of the tutorials on this blog have missing supplies. So, until I update, please find

suitable replacements. I will keep the ones with missing supplies online for those 

of you who do have the supplies.

We all have to remember that designers do quit, retire, and the links to their supplies expire. 

4-Shared is one of the main sites that expire files. Most of the time, this is without notice.

So, give me some time and let me get working on this blog and on my graphics blog.

By the way, if there is a type of graphic or tutorial you would like to see, comment below or send

me an email at nedya 4 @ gmail.com 

(Remove the spaces)

Have a great week!

Cute & Spooky Tutorial

 





 

You will need the following supplies. If you can't get them

then do the best you can by obtaining similar supplies or supplies

of your own choice. 


My kit, Spooky Cute. You can find it on my blog HERE.

Your own word art or My WordArt HERE.

It is the last one named “Too Cute To Spook”.

A tube of choice. I used the witch and a cat by Tooshtoosh HERE.

The site was down at the time of me writing this tutorial.

A mask of choice or my mask LLM-Mask-1259 HERE.  

Halloween Nightmare font at Dafont.com HERE.


I also used Xenofex 2 constellation. This is a paid plug in and hard to find.  

If you do not have it, do not worry. The tag really does not need it.

 

Open a transparent image at 800x800. You can resize later.

Copy and paste paper 9 as a new layer. Add your mask  from image and merge group.

OPTIONAL:

Duplicate the mask layer and add  Xenofex 2 constellation. Adjust your settings to the

way you like it on your canvas. I would show you my settings, but 

I forgot to take a screenshot of them.  :(


Copy and paste the white moon and move it to the upper right part of your tag.

I added the sparkles, moved it near the top, duplicated and flipped, and moved the

Copy towards the bottom of my tag.

For the leaves, I used the raster deform tool to smash them down, duplicated a few times 

and moved them around to make it look like they were covering the ground.

You can also find some free CU leaves on the internet.

There are also some leaves in my Happy Halloween Kit HERE,

if you want to use them. Resize them to fit your tag and to your satisfaction.

 

Grass: I colorized this to green and did not resize it. Duplicate and

 mirror make it look like it is going across the tag behind the house.

Tree 2 resized 75%.

Spooky tree, do not resize. Place it next to the other tree.

Grass_1  resized 50%.

Grass_3 resized 50%.

Scary House resized 50%.

Bat resized to 40%.

Ghost resized to 25.

Pumpkin with hat resized to  25%.

Pumpkin_3 resized to 25%.

Haunted flying bats resized to 35%. Place them up around the moon.

Toosh Toosh Cat resized to 30% and mirrored.

Toosh Toosh Witch is not resized. Place near the cat with 

the cat looking like it is looking at the witch.


Too Cute To Spook WA resized to 75%.  For the word art, I took my selection tool and 

separated the words.  Too Cute and To Spook. I also added a gradient glow.

 

Now resize your tag and make sure everything is arranged the way you like it.

Add your name and copyright for the image(s) you use.

I used Halloween Nightmare with a paper, black stroke at two.
