Tag Tutorial - When Irish Eyes - PTU



Tubes/Images of your Choice - I'm using a Tube and Close up

Artwork © Jennifer Janesko

If you wish to use the same tube you must purchase it from CILM

However feel free to use whatever you have

Scrapkit - A superb St Pats kit by my pal Clarey called "Luck of the Irish"
It's PTU and available from her store HERE

Xero Graphics Radiance

Mask of your Choice - I used one of my own Mask403

Place under the rotated frame in the LP

then use Magic Wand on the usual selection settings

and do a Selection Delete with an Expand of 4

C&P

Place under the first frame in the LP

and repeat the Magic Wand Selection Delete as before

Open your Chosen Tube/Image/Close up

C&P

Place on the tag canvas

and move between the chosen frame and paper in the LP

so it's sandwiched in between - then

on the Image/Tube/Close Up layer

Apply Xero Radiance on these settings...

Strangeness - 103

Charm - 73

Truth - 82

Beauty - 131


Apply a favourite dropshadow if using a tube

then

use Selection Delete as before to get rid of the excess tube

Repeat for the other frame with either a close up or

different tube/image of your choice

This time, I didn't add the Radiance as my image was so light already

Now add dropshadows to the two frames

I used

Then, on the elements - I used 2, 2, 45, 5.00 Black


Now crop the tag canvas to remove any excess paper or tube/image that may be outside the canvas

and

add your name in a style and font of your liking

I used a glitter fill and added the name to the pot and used

the element dropshadow

Finally,
