Welcome
Hi there and welcome to my blog! I'm Allison, also known as Aquabel in some groups. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I've been addicted to PSP and tagging for about 4 years. I love creating tags and sets, so thought I'd create a blog to display some of my creations, as well as anything else that may tickle my fancy :) I hope you enjoy your stay!

Create new layer.
Selections --> Select All, open Paper 6 and Paste into Selection.
Apply mask DBV Mask 80. Merge group.
See my tag for help with placement of the elements.
Open Grass 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 95%, sharpen. Place near the bottom of the mask.
Open Grass Sprig, copy and paste as new layer, resize by 60%, sharpen. Place in the middle, just off centre to the left. Duplicate and mirror.
Again, copy and paste Grass Spring as a new layer, resize by 60%, sharpen. Place to the left, slightly lower than the first sprig. Duplicate and mirror.
Open Mushrooms 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 60%, sharpen. Place to the bottom left (but not all the way to the left, not quite all the way to the left, leave some space). Duplicate and mirror.
Again, copy and paste Mushrooms 1 as a new layer. Resize by 40%, sharpen, and place to the bottom right. Duplicate and mirror.
Open Flowers 43, copy and paste as new layer, and resize by 45%, sharpen. Place to the bottom right. Duplicate and mirror.
Open Scattered Dots, copy and paste as a new layer just above the mask layer. Resize by 85%, sharpen. Place near the top.
Open Sparkles 1, copy and paste as a new layer, above Scattered Dots, resize by 80%, sharpen. Place to your liking (see my tag).
Open Sparkles 2, copy and paste as a new layer, above Sparkles 1, resize by 80%, sharpen. Place to your liking (see my tag).
Open Owl, copy and paste as a new layer, above all layers. Resize by 27%, sharpen and place to the bottom right.
Open Mushroom 2, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 25%, sharpen, and place just to the left of the Owl.
Open Mushrooms 2, copy and paste as a new layer, above all layers. Resize by 25%, sharpen, and place to the bottom left.
Open Lantern 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 30% and sharpen. Place to the left of Mushrooms 2.
Open Jar 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 17% and sharpen. Place in front of Mushrooms 2.
Open Frog, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 17% and sharpen. Place in front of the Jar and Mushrooms 2.
Open Grass 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 95%, sharpen. Place near the bottom of the mask.
Open Grass Sprig, copy and paste as new layer, resize by 60%, sharpen. Place in the middle, just off centre to the left. Duplicate and mirror.
Again, copy and paste Grass Spring as a new layer, resize by 60%, sharpen. Place to the left, slightly lower than the first sprig. Duplicate and mirror.
Open Mushrooms 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 60%, sharpen. Place to the bottom left (but not all the way to the left, not quite all the way to the left, leave some space). Duplicate and mirror.
Again, copy and paste Mushrooms 1 as a new layer. Resize by 40%, sharpen, and place to the bottom right. Duplicate and mirror.
Open Flowers 43, copy and paste as new layer, and resize by 45%, sharpen. Place to the bottom right. Duplicate and mirror.
Open Scattered Dots, copy and paste as a new layer just above the mask layer. Resize by 85%, sharpen. Place near the top.
Open Sparkles 1, copy and paste as a new layer, above Scattered Dots, resize by 80%, sharpen. Place to your liking (see my tag).
Open Sparkles 2, copy and paste as a new layer, above Sparkles 1, resize by 80%, sharpen. Place to your liking (see my tag).

Open Jar 1, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 17% and sharpen. Place in front of Mushrooms 2.
Open Frog, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 17% and sharpen. Place in front of the Jar and Mushrooms 2.
Apply a Drop Shadow to all elements except your mask, Scattered Dots, Sparkles 1 and Sparkles 2, using the following settings:
Vertical: 3
Horizontal: 3
Opacity: 35
Blur: 4
Color: Black
Copy and paste your tube as the top layer. Resize by 32% (or other, depending on the tube that you use), sharpen. Move the tube layer below some of the layers, so it's placed behind some of the elements, to your liking.
Duplicate your tube layer, and apply a Gaussian blur with a radius of 5 to the duplicate tube layer. Now select the original tube layer, hit Selections --> Select All, Selections --> Float, then Selections --> Invert. Now select your duplicated tube layer, and hit Delete. Go to Selections --> Select None. To your duplicated tube layer change the Blend Mode to Soft Light. Duplicate this layer, change the Blend Mode to Screen and reduce the Opacity to about 30%. Merge these 3 layers, and apply a Drop Shadow (the same as above).
(Note: When you merge, make sure you merge the original tube layer and the first duplicated tube layer first, then merge the second duplicated tube layer last.)

Add your name.
Hide or delete the white background layer.

This isn't a new tutorial, it's one I made for the Creative Addictions Forum a while back as a mystery tutorial, and thought I'd post a link to it here.
The tutorial is hosted at the Creative Addictions Forum.
The tutorial section of the forum is open to everyone, you don't have to be a member.
But if you like what you see, please feel free to join our group...we're a friendly bunch, and have lots to offer!
Here's the link:
And here's a few sets that I made using the tutorial:

Haven't had much time to play in PSP this week, but I did manage to make one tag.
I just love the artwork of Alex Prihodko, and made this tag using this awesome tube, available at PFD, and a beautiful kit by Mirella available here.

I guess I was on a mermaid kick yesterday lol
I made 2 tags with mermaids...and will likely make more :)
This set I made as a member request in a forum that I belong to, using a cute mermaid by Elias Chatzoudis, available here, and a gorgeous kit by Pavlinka called Take Me To The Beach, available at Scrapbook Graphics.
This next set I made using a gorgeous tube by Misticheskaya available at SATC, and a beautiful kit by Florju called Sea Adventure available here.

I've been meaning to make a tag with this cute tube and kit for weeks, and finally got around to it tonight. But first I made a simple template to use for it.
You can download the template here.
And here's the tag I made with the template, using an adorable tube from Maryline Cazenave, and a fabulous Inspired By kit from Dee Mastrangelo, both available at CDO.
