Let’s get started.

I like to work on large canvases and resize at the end. All the resizing %’s are based on the large canvas. If you work with smaller canvases you will need to readjust your % numbers.

Kit Pieces Used:
Paper 8
Island Resize 80%
House Resize 70%
Duplicate Resize 25% then 80%
Breeze2 Resize 70%
Duplicate
Scatter Resize 50%
Butterflies Resize 70%
Butterfly scatter Resize 65%
Dreamingirl Resize 40%
mirror
Butterfly Resize 25%
Duplicate, mirror
Word art5 Resize 40%

Open a canvas of 900 X 775. C&P paper 8 as a new layer. Apply mask. Merge group.




C&P Island and place towards bottom.

C&P House, place where desired.

C&P tube. Resize 70%

Duplicate House resize and place on easel.

C&P other elements and place where desired.
I mirrored the girl and placed her chasing the butterflies.

On scatter use MuraMeister’s Copies



On word art apply glow



Add drop shadow to all layers. I used 5, 5, 50, 5 on all except the mask layer, which I used 2, 2, 50, 5.

Add your copyright and watermark.

Add names or snag words, and we are done.



I hope you enjoyed my tut. If you work it up I would love to see your results. Please send them to:

TooshToosh Birthday Party

Supplies:

Scrap Kit: Birthday Bash by Angels Designz which you can find HERE or HERE


Mask: WSL_Mask38 HERE

Tube: I am using a freebie by TooshToosh which you can find HERE Even though this tube is free you will still need to use a license number on it.

Font: ShelleyVolante BT HERE

Let’s get started. Again I will have lots of screen shots for the beginner.

I like to work on a big canvas then size down at the end.

AD_Frame4: Duplicate this by holding down shift + D. Close out original, this way you won’t end up saving the frame and losing it from the kit. Go to Image, canvas size and make it 800 X 750. Resize frame 80% all layers NOT checked.





AD_Paper8: Copy and paste this into your canvas, and place on the bottom. Apply mask, by Layers, New Mask Layer, From Image. Merge group.







Go to the preset shapes and choose the elliptical. Make a circle with any color, it doesn’t matter we will delete this soon. Make it so the circle goes through the green circles on the frame layer, see sample. When you have the circle where you want it convert to raster layer. Select, select all, select, float, select, defloat on the circle. Copy and paste AD_Paper9, select, invert, delete key on keyboard, select none. Place your pink circle under the frame. You can delete your drawn circle now.





Copy and paste the elephant and place where you want.
Copy and paste all the little critters from the tube and place them where you like them.

AD_ColorfulSplatter copy and paste this onto your canvas, resize by 50%. Here I used MuraMeister’s Copies. See example. Place below pink paper. Duplicate this layer 3 times, so you have a total of 4 layers of the confetti. This will brighten them up a bit.





Copy and paste the following elements, resizing and placing as you like. I will show my resize percents.

AD_Cake 35%
AD_Drink2 25%
AD_PartyFavor 35% I rotated this 17 to the right.
AD_Wordart1 50%

Add a drop shadow where desired. I save my projects here in case I want to change something later. Merge visible, copy and paste into a new image. Resize down to proper size. Add your copyright info and your watermark.



We are done. I hope that you enjoyed this tut. If you work it up I would love to see what you did and put it up here on my blog.

Hello all

Snow Fighting Allowed

I like to work on a large canvas and then size down at the end. It is easier for me because of my eyesight. Also this tut is entirely of my own imagination, any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Supplies:

Scrap Kit: The scrap kit I am using is called Snow Fighting Allowed by Gina at KiKeKa Kits and can be purchased HERE

Mask: The mask I am using is Vix_ChristmasMask1 which you can find HERE

Tube: I am using the awesome artwork of Ismael Rac which you can find HERE

Font: I am using Santa's Sleigh Full which you can find HERE

Start with a canvas size of 900 X 775. This gives me plenty of room to place the elements where I like them. We will resize later. You don’t have to start big if you don’t want to, but remember that the resizing listed is based on the large canvas. This tut is to be used as a guideline only, you don’t have to follow it exactly.

Start with cbg_snowfightingallowed_paper3. Copy & Paste (C&P) paper onto your canvas. Resize 75% 4 times. Layers, new mask layer, from image, apply mask, layers, merge, merge visible. Colorize paper using the following chart. Resize 110%.













cbg_snowfightingallowed_frame04 Resize 35% ALL layers checked. C&P, resize 75%. With the magic wand click inside frame, selections, modify, expand, expand by 12. C&P cbg_snowfightingallowed_paper06 resize 50% 3 times, move paper to your liking. Selections, invert, delete key, selections, selection none. Place below frame.







The following elements are a guideline for your tag, you may resize and place your elements to your liking. Remember to place a drop shadow of 5, 5, 50, 5, or one of your choice. Also remember that these resizes are for the large canvas, if using a smaller canvas your resizes will be different than mine.





cbg_snowfightingallowed_snowman05 Resize 47% ALL layers checked. C&P resize 50% 2 times all layers NOT checked.

cbg_snowfightingallowed_deer01 Resize 58% ALL layers checked. C&P Resize 50% then 75% all layers NOT checked.

cbg_snowfightingallowed_deer02 Resize 66% ALL layers checked. C&P Resize 50% then 65% all layers NOT checked.

cbg_snowfightingallowed_bear Resize 60% ALL layers checked. C&P Mirror, resize 50% 2 times all layers NOT checked.

cbg_snowfightingallowed_carrot Resize 50% 4 times all layers NOT checked. Duplicate, mirror.

cbg_snowfightingallowed_dangle Resize 38% ALL layers checked. Resize 50% 2 times, duplicate.

cbg_snowfightingallowed_tree02 Resize 34% ALL layers checked. Resize 50% 1 time.

Here I save in psp form in case I want to change anything later. Then merge visible. Copy and paste as new image. Resize down to less than 600 X 600. Add your copyright info and watermark. We are finished.



I hope you enjoyed my tut, I would love to see your results. Send them to me at glitterdeb75@yahoo.com with Snow Fighting Allowed in subject line and I will put them on my blog.
