SpellBound

This tutorial was written by me on September 15 using PSP X4.  All my tutorials assume you have some working knowledge of PSP and/or Animation Shop.

Supplies:

Tube of choice - I'm using the art of Ismael Rac.  You need a license to use his art.  You can purchase tubes/license at his store HERE.

Scrap Kit - I'm using a great kit by Kim's Korner called "Season of the Witch".  Visit her blog HERE to find out where you can purchase this great kit!

Mask - I'm using WSL Mask81 which you can download HERE.

Font - I'm using October Crow

To begin open your tube and mask in PSP and minimize for now.  Open a new 800 x 700 image white background - I usually build my tags from the bottom up so bear with me .....

1.  Copy/paste Wire as a new layer - image - free rotate 45 left - center in canvas

2.  Copy/paste Tombstones as a new layer - resize and move to the left side of tag - duplicate ( do not mirror) and position to the right side of tag - drop shadow both layers

3.  Copy/paste Moonlight as a new layer - position in the center of your tag and move up to the top - you can resize it a bit larger if you want - drop shadow

4.  Copy/paste Graveyard Gate as a new layer - resize if desired and center in canvas -drop shadow - you can take this time to tweak your headstones and moon layers if desired

5.  Copy/paste Grass as a new layer - position on right side of Gate - duplicate - image - mirror - drop shadow both layers

6.  Copy/paste Crow as a new layer - resize fairly small and position on moon - duplicate - and position 

7.  Copy/paste Candelabra as a new layer - position on left side of gate - duplicate - image - mirror - drop shadow both layers

8.  Copy/paste your tube as a new layer - resize if desired and position in center - drop shadow - rearrange your elements if needed

9.  Making sure you are on your tube layer - copy/paste Candle01 as a new layer - resize and position - duplicate - image - mirror - drop shadow both layers - copy/paste any other elements you choose and arrange on tag - drop shadow each layer

10.  On white background layer - copy/paste a paper of choice as a new layer - layers - new mask layer - from image - apply mask and delete original layer - merge group 

11.  Close out white background - crop/resize tag to your preference - add copyright/license and name - save as .png

That's it!!  Thank you for trying my tutorial!!
