Hallow Eve


"Hallow Eve"

Artwork by Kieth Garvey

Scrap Kit by Pimp'd Designz, "Boo-tiful" which is an
exclusive at Totally Sweet Designz.

Font of choice, I used "Mad Beef"

Graphic Program of choice, I use PSP X2

Let's Begin!

1. Open all of your supplies into PSP.

2. Create a new transparent image. I always start out with a 800x800
square image, just so I know I have enough room.

3. C/P the star frame from the kit. Resize as needed.
I resized mine at 60%.
Rotate slightly to the left.
Sharpen image.
Add drop shadow.
Create a new raster layer behind the frame layer.

2. Using your lasso tool, trace along the frame edge.
C/P the paper of choice into selection on the new raster
layer you created behind the frame.
Add drop shadow to the frame layer.

3. Choose a paper of your choice for the "circle".
Your circle size depends on your initial tag size.
You can resize this at anytime. 
Using your selection tool, circle, trace out a circle shape.
Go to Layers>Promote Background layer
Crop to selection.
Open a new raster image.
Flood fill white.
C/P the newly created circle onto the white filled image
as a new selection.
Go to Selection>modify>expand>4
Crop to selection.
C/P the circle behind the frame/paper layers.
Add drop shadow.
Repeat this step for the rounded rectangle.
*I didn't add a white border around mine, but you can if you wish.

4. C/P the tube of choice above all layers.
Resize as needed.
Add drop shadow.
Using your close up tube (if available), C/P the 
close up image above the paper layer within the frame
Re-Size as needed and trim around the frame so there isn't
anything hanging out.
I chose to make mine B&W.

5. C/P the spiderweb from the kit above the tube layer inside
the frame. 
Resize and trim as needed.
Add drop shadow.
C/P the crow from the kit above the frame layer.
Resize as needed.
Add drop shadow.
C/P the glitter splatter of choice behind all layers.
Resize as needed and place behind the star frame area
or where you'd like.

Add name and copyright info and your done!
