PTU Tut ~ Almost Winter + FREE SNAGS!


**This tutorial is my own creation, from my imagination. Any similarities are completely coincidental!**

This tutorial was written in PSP9, but should easily translate to other versions!


Supplies:

Kit:  I am using the gorgeous kit "Almost Winter" by PinkParadox Productions.  You can pick up this beautiful kit HERE.  For the month of November, ALL kits are 35% off, so it's a great time to pick up some amazing kits!
 
Tube:  I'm using the beautiful artwork ©Trinita called "Hot Tea."  You can purchase Trinita's work at PicsForDesign HERE.  Please do not use this artwork without the proper licensing.
 
Font:  I'm using the font "Always Beside You" which can be found HERE.
 
Plugin:  Eye Candy 4000: Gradient Glow
 
 
Ready?  Let's get started!
 
Open a new canvas, 650x650, with a transparent background.

Select Frame Layer and using your Magic Wand, click inside the frame.  Selections > Modify > Expand by 5.

Instead of using a mask (like I normally do), I used the element Almost Winter (169), resized 45%.  Using the Deformation tool, I spun it around some until I could see the leaves on the "outside" of the tag.  Layers > Arrange > Send to bottom.

Resize your tag at this point, if needed, so as to not distort the copyright and name.
 
For the font, I used "Always Beside You," size 72, stroke width of 0. 
FG: ##d4c6c4 and BG: #a68053.
 
Using Eye Candy 4000: Gradient Glow with these settings:
 



Add your artist's copyright.  Layers > Merge > Merge Visible.  Save and you're done!
 
Now on to those Freebie snags!!
