C/paste Wreath re sized to 90 %. Move to bottom of layer palette and position centrally in line with frame.
Apply a d/shadow.

Behind the Wreath, bottom left of canvas c/paste Ribbon Poinsettia re sized to 40 %. Using Manual color correction, change source colour from green to target gold. Duplicate layer and mirror copy to bottom right. Merge down. Duplicate again and flip copy to top. Merge down again. you should now have 4 poinsettias all on 1 layer. Re size this layer to 95% and d/shadow.

In the bottom right corner of the tag, above poinsettias behind wreath, c/paste and position Star Spray re sized to 30%. Duplicate and mirror copy to left. Merge down and d/shadow.

Lastly c/paste Star String re sized to 25%. Position above tube layer so that it looks as though it is being held from the hand. Duplicate and move copy over to the bottom right above the Ribbon. Change colour as we did for Poinsettias and use eraser to remove string on this copy. D/shadow both copies.


Merge all layers and sharpen your image. Adjust - Sharpness - Unsharp Mask 5.0 - 30 -5.
Now duplicate the image. Working on the bottom copy - Apply a Gaussian blur of  7 and then Tramages - Moving Screen (settings below) Reduce opacity to 50%.

FTU Deck The Halls






Deck The Halls was written by Myself on 18th November 2013. It is my own idea and creation. Any similarity to any other tag or tutorial is co incidental.

Supplies Needed

Tube of choice. I have used 'Winnie' the beautiful artwork of VeryMany at VeryMany Tubes

Gorgeous Ftu Scrap kit is 'Christmas Fun' by Daph at Daph's Scrappin Kreationz
Please leave a thank you :)

Template - Xmas Temp 1 by Me. You can get this HERE

Font used - KG Melonheadz

Filters Used
Xero - Radiance
Tramages - Mo Jellyfish

Open template, duplicate and close original. Delete credits and dashed rectangles.

In layer palette - Red Rectangle. Selections - Select all - Float. C/paste paper 4 re sized to 90 %. 
De float - Invert - Delete.
Select none and delete original temp layer. Apply Xero - Radiance (settings below) D/shadow.


Layer Palette - Yellow Line Rectangle. Adjust - Color balance- Manual color correction to change colour to white and d/shadow.

Layer Palette - Merge Yellow Rectangle 1 and 2. Selections - Select all - Float. C/paste paper 14 re sized to 80%. De float - Invert - Delete.
Select none and delete temp layer. Apply Radiance as before. D /shadow.

Layer Palette - Green Rectangle. Same float and fill method as previous layers using paper 10 at 90%.

Select none. Delete temp layer. Apply Tramages - Mo Jellyfish (settings below)





Above this inner circle layer c/paste Frame 5 re sized to 70%. Rotate to left by 21 degrees. Use your raster deform tool to stretch and position the frame in line with the outer edge of the inner circle. Like me, you may find the bottom right of the Frame a little tricky to line up with the edge of the circle but don't worry to much as your tube will cover this ; )
Once happy with positioning change blend mode of Frame to overlay and d/shadow.

Above the Frame Layer and in the centre of the canvas c/paste Christmas Tree re sized to 65% and d/shadow.

C/paste your tube. Position to the right of the canvas above the Christmas Tree layer. D/shadow.

With your tube in place continue to work elements of choice around the tube and temp layers. D/shadow to your liking. I used ....

Berry Branch - 50 % - Rotate right by 8 degrees. Paste top left of canvas behind temp layers. Duplicate, Flip the copy and merge layer down. Now duplicate this merged layer and mirror to right side of tag.
Go back to the left side copy and duplicate again. Rotate to right by 90 % and place this copy at the top of the tag then duplicate once more and flip and position at the bottom. Merge all 4 layers, d/shadow and reduce opacity to 90%.

Christmas Sign - 45%. Place bottom left of tag, behind tube / Tree.

Ornaments 1,2,3 - 50%. Position and arrange bottom right. Behind tube.

Christmas Tag Templates 1 & 2

Hello to all.
 Winter is definitely upon us and Christmas wont be far behind.. where has this year gone ?
I'm not getting much time in Psp of late. We are so busy at work with the run up to Christmas. I have extra hours and later nights, which gives me less time and energy to play :(  But the bonus I suppose is much needed extra pennies in my pay packet over the next few months :)
I have got a few unfinished projects in the pipeline that I'm hoping to get finished over the next week and the first of my Christmas temps you can download below.  My first ever Christmas tut... I will be finishing and posting up later today. 
'Happy Taggin' 
Hugs Sal :)

Open a new image 700 x 700.
Because we have no template or frame to work around start by creating a centre spot on your canvas.
( we will be deleting this, it's just an aid to placement of our first elements)

So....Using any colour, create a vector circle 200 x 200. Objects - Align - Center in canvas. Convert to raster layer.
Above the centre circle c/paste element 75 Chest Of Drawers re sized to 60%. Rotate right by 2 degrees. Position roughly half way down the circle and line up the right front corner of drawers with the right edge of circle. ( see pic below ) Once in position duplicate.

Behind your centre circle and to left side of canvas, c/paste element 43 - Door re sized to 50%. ( again see pic for placement ) Duplicate, change blend mode of top copy to screen, merge down and d/shadow.

With these elements in place, delete your circle.

 D/shadow Window Frame and merge down with paper layer. At the top of your Window c/paste 11 Cobweb re sized to 25%. Duplicate to strengthen and merge down.

Before adding the rest of the elements put mask layers in place.

Mask layer 1- At the bottom of layer palette, c/paste paper 7 re sized to 57%. Load mask from disk - Fit to layer. In layer palette - delete mask - merge group.  Use raster deform tool to size and position. Apply Effects- Texture Effects - Brick and set opacity to your liking.



Mask layer 2 - C/paste element 46 Wood Flooring re sized to 57%. Using same mask as before - load mask from disk - fit to layer. In layer palette - delete mask - merge group. Position at the bottom of canvas above mask layer 1. Duplicate to strengthen opacity and merge down.

Continue my adding elements of choice and d/shadow to your liking.

I used....

17  Kitten - 30 %. Right side of canvas. Behind drawers, above Armchair. Duplicate, change blend mode of top copy to hard light, merge down.

20 Doll - 50 %. Bottom right. in front of the Armchair, behind Drawers.
