Love Fairy

For the above tag, I used the following supplies:

Tube by  Lia, located HERE  

Mask by me. You will find it HERE on my blog. 

Midnight Fairy kit by Melissa

Template 823 by Millie  HERE.

Font is Alice in Wonderland Font from Dafont.

Read? Ok! Let's Start!

Shift D to Duplicate your template.  Delete or hide raster layer 10 (credits layer).

 Go to Image, Canvas Size and resize your canvas to 700x700

or size of preference.  

I start from the bottom.

Click on your background layer and unhide it.

Fill with white.

Select all, add a new layer. Copy and paste a paper of 

choice into selection. I chose paper  1.

Add your mask or the mask I used- LLM-395. 

Layers-Merge- Merge Group. You may need to

use your raster deform tool to close the mask around the template layers. 

I first resized mine by 95% and then used my raster deform tool to surround the mask layer closer to the template layers.  

Raster 1 --click on the oval with your magic wand. Add a new layer and copy

and paste a paper of choice into selection. I chose paper 7.

Raster 2 - Repeat the above step using different paper. I chose paper 5. Do not deselect just

yet!  I added another layer and copy and pasted paper 2 into selections. I then set the layer

properties at overlay. Now deselect! LOL

For raster 3, I duplicated a couple of times to make it bolder.

Rasters 4, 5. 6, and 7 -- Repeat the step used for Rasters 1 and 2 using a paper of choice.

I chose paper 4.

For layer 8, I duplicated it, and on the bottom layer I used a thick gradient glow. I also added noise.

If you do not have the Eye Candy plug in, you can also use the method I used for adding the borders around the templates. That explanation is below. 

For layer 9, I left as is. 

I also added a border around the template layers. 

For each layer I expanded each layer by 3 for the larger layers, and 2 for the circle layers. 

Then I added a new layer UNDER the paper layers and filled with white and added

noise at 100. 

Elements I used are:

Element 3 Resized to 40%.

Element 4 Resized to 50%.

Element 7 Resized to 50%.

Element 19 Resized to 75%. Duplicate, Image mirror, and flip. 

Element 20 Resized to 50%. Duplicate, Image mirror.

E  22 Resized to 50%. Duplicate, Image mirror.

E 28. I did not resize.

I also found a grass element from another kit of Melissa's and 

colorized it to suit my tag. 

Add any elements you wish-- Make this tag yours!

Add drop shadow of your choice. I use 1, -1, 50, 0  Black. Shadow on new layer NOT checked.

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. 

For my name, I duplicated the layer and on the 

bottom layer added a yellow Fat Gradient glow.

I also added a drop shadow of 1, -1, 5, 0. 

I saved mine as a PNG image.

You are done!
