Thinking of Paris, France

The above tag was made in a challenge I participated 

in at the Creative Chicks. 

My personal heartfelt condolences go out to the people in Paris, France

and their families.  

Now to the tutorial on how I made the above tag:

For this tag I used

A Barbara Jensen Free tube  HERE.

Paris Dreams Kit by Scraps Dimensions HERE.

Mask of choice. The mask I used is  an exclusive to the Creative

Chicks. It will not be available until Dec 1, 2015 on our blog HERE.

However, if you  join our group HERE before then, you can get it.

Cajoline Paris By Night paper 1 HERE.

Great Vibes font. 

As always, I use Pixelette for my credits.

New Image 600x600 Transparent. 

New layer- select all, copy 

Paper 4 and paste into selection. Add your mask from disk or from image.

I resized mine by 95%.

Clock 65% . I set the properties to overlay.

Umbrella   65%  Then 75%.

Tube-I did not resize mine. 

Wordart-80%

For my name, I drew a vector circle around the clock and positioned and re-sized 

the circle to where I liked it. Do not convert it to raster, yet! 

 If you do not know how to do text on a curve,

I am not going into a tutorial within a tutorial about text on a curve. However, 

here is a great tutorial for text on a curve by Another Jo:

Thankful For Friends

Tube of choice. I used the incredible work of Cris Ortega. 

Scrapkit by Melissa called Thankful for Friends HERE.

Millies Thankful template MPM02 Here.

Mask of Choice-I used my LLM_114 mask here.

Font:   Masterics Personal Use    

Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow- Optional.

Ready? Ok! Let's begin!

Shift D to duplicate and close original template.

From bottom- add a new layer select all, copy and paste Paper 3 into selections.

Add  a mask of choice or use my mask--LLM_114 from disc and merge group.

For each of the paper layers, I pasted the paper into selections, 

unless other wise instructed.

Below are the layers and papers I used for them. 

Of course, you may want 

to change it up as you see fit:

Rasters 1 and 2--Paper 7.

Raster 3 -- Paper 03.

Raster 4 -- Paper 6.

Raster 5 -- Paper 6-New layer re-size paper by 50% .

Rasters 6  and 7-- Paper 8-New layer, re-size paper by 50%.

I did this layer a bit different:

Raster 8   I used Paper 2.

 Select all, float, defloat, selections modify contract by 4, add a new 

raster layer copy and paste paper two into selections.

Then go to selections-modify, expand by 4, add a new raster layer 

and move under the paper layer. 

Then floodfill with white and add noise to this layer. Deselect. 

Raster 9 and raster 10 add a gradient glow and 

drop shadow to both wordart layers. 

Make sure you delete or hide all original layers. 

At this point I cropped mine and re sized all layers to where I got 

it to about a 625x564. 

If you get your tag even close to my tag's size, you should be able to

resize the following elements within a couple of percentage points.

I used:

El 4  copy and paste it onto your canvas, Re-size 80%,

 and Place to right side, duplicate mirror. 

Element 6 re-sized 40%.

El 8 re-sized by 40%.  D/S Place to right of wordart, duplicate and mirror.

El 10 Re-sized 65%.

El 11 re-sized to 65%.  Place to right side, duplicate mirror. 

Element 12 re sized 40%  Place to right side, duplicate mirror. 

El 13 re-sized 80%   Place to right side, duplicate mirror. 

El 14 --I did not re-size. 

El 17 --Did not re-size.

Element 19 re-sized 40%.

El 20 Re-sized 45%.

E-25 Hearts re-sized by 40%.

Add any other element you wish and re-size tag to your liking.

For my name, I used a yellow gradient glow- #f7ff00. Remember 

this is optional. 

Add your watermark if you wish, and make 

sure you add the copyright for the image you used.

Add your name or name(s) of whoever you want.

I saved mine as a PNG image.
