Decided to play in psp today. So I decided to use my good friends Naughty Angels kit Tropical Island Dreams and make it a Christmas in Paradise theme tag.


Tuesday, December 6, 2011



This tutorial was written on December 6, 2011 by Val aka LostAngel Graphics. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of PSP.

Supplies Needed:
++Paint Shop Pro (I used 12 but any version should work)

++Scrap kit by Naughty Angel Creations called Christmas Ice which is PTU and can be found
HERE

++Mask of Choice or Vix_Mask 428 that can be found
HERE

++ Tubes of choice or the one I used. I used the work of Barbara Jensen which you can be found
HERE
Note you must have a valid license in order to use her work.

++Font of choice

 

Let’s get Started!

Open a new image 600 x 600 (you can resize it later if you would like), transparent background.
Open paper 5 in psp. Go to Image, Resize then go to change from percent to pixels and resize it to 600 x 600. Make sure all layers are checked.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
Open Vix Mask 428 or a mask of choice.
Go to Layers, New Mask Layer and select the mask of choice, makes sure source luminance is checked and invert mask data is unchecked. Hit ok.
Merge group.
Add new layer.
Flood new layer with black or a color of choice.
Apply Vix Mask 428 with same settings as above. Merge group .
Change Blend Mode to Overlay.
Open Fr1 in psp. Copy and add as a new layer
Open tube of choice.  Copy and add as a new layer.
Move tube layer below frame.  Duplicate and move this layer above frame layer.
While on this layer Select eraser tool and erase any parts of your tube that are covering the bottom part of  
the frame. See my tag as a reference. You want it to appear as if your tube is coming out of the frame.
Open Ele35. Resize by 80 percent. Copy and add as a new layer. Move to lower right side.
Open Ele3. Resize by 70 percent. Copy and add as a new layer. Move to lower left side.
Open Ele1. Resize by 80 percent. Copy and add as a new layer. Move to lower left side.
You can personalize it any way you would like to at this point. I choose to write a little note to Santa on the
Rolled parchment. Get creative.
Add drop shadow.
Add your correct copyright information.
Add your name.
Save and you are done.

I was having a bit of a blue moment with the holidays so I came up with this using one of Naughty Angel Creations called White Xmas from Scraps and The City.   



Here's another one that I was playing with using another great kit from Naughty Angel Creations called Sexy Biker Babe. Was wanting to do something alittle different than a Christmas tag.

Welcome to my new blog.  I'm new to blogging like this so if you find anything that incorrect or off please don't hesitate to say and I will correct it as soon as I can. 

I have been playing in PSP for about 5 or 6 years now since the death of my beautiful little girl passed and it has been a creative way for me to sorta heal and cope with the grief of her death.  It was therapatic sitting in putting all my creative efforts into making a tag for my friends so I created LostAngel Graphics.

My First Inspiration Michaella. 11/1/00 -11/5/02

 My Second Inspiration and my reason for going on, Shane

I hope you enjoy my new adventure in writing tuts for all to enjoy.

Much love and happiness
