CT PinkParadox - "Autumn In Paris"

CT PinkParadox Productions - Autumn Daydream Extras

In our little neck of the woods it has been so hot lately with temperatures upwards of 100 degrees, I am wishing for the Fall season to begin.  Perhaps if I make enough images with Fall kits, my wish will come true ... who knows.  It's fun playing with these gorgeous kits by PinkParadox Productions anyway.  This beauty is "Autumn Daydream" and if you're quick, you can buy it on sale.

Zlata_M Extra Set 92642

Originally created the Tag in November of last year.  The two pieces of artwork are Zlata Exclusive.  The kit I used is by Jackie's Jewels, "This Is Country Music".  When I saw the kit, I thought of these tubes immediately.  I hadn't tagged them together before and was excited to see how it would come together.

Please review TOU regarding Extra Tag Sets ~ Thank you.

Exclusive Zlata Elven Princess

I am not really what you'd call a fan of "fantasy" stuff, but when I saw the first update of Zlata's Project at PFD, her face drew me in.  I just knew that she was going to be a beauty.  Much to my surprise, there are many more layers than I expected - wow.  This will not be my first tag with her.

Thanks for looking.

Showing Some Non-CT Tags I've Made

First up, a fabulous Group Exclusive by Arthur Crowe.  The kit I used was a Facebook Freebie from Scrap It Studios. 

Next, Jasmine Becket-Griffith paired with Nature Calls by Chichi's Designs. 

Here is my try at the tutorial "True Colors".  I chose the lovely Jamie Kidd.

I recently reached the Quest Level to receive "Black Angel" by Zlata and this is what I made.  The kit is Angel Eyes by Hania's Designs.

Last but not least, a little something I put together with artwork of Alex Prihodko and paired with Amy Marie's Cowboy Sweetheart kit.

Zlata Fall Heels - PTU

This tutorial was written August 26, 2013 by me.  Any ideas contained that are similar to others are purely coincidental.  Do not copy and claim as your own.  Group Owners may link to my tutorial.

SUPPLIES USED:
- I used PaintShopPro XI
- Tube and Close-up of Choice. For my tag I chose Zlata_M, available from The PSP Project.  Do not use the artwork without a License.
- The PTU scrapkit I used is "The Calming Of Fall" by Karra's Kreative Korner which you can purchase at Pimpin' PSPers Warehouse.
- Simone Template 83 - If you download, please say thank you.
- Filter: Xero - Porcelain
- Filter: EyeCandy 4 - Gradient Glow
- Font of Choice - I used Great Vibes (a free font)

~Here We Go~

This template has a Resolution of 762 Pixels Per Inch - you might want to Resize and change that to 72ppi (on your duplicate of course).

Open Paper 11; copy; Paste above Large Rectangle layer.  Resize paper 75%. 

On Large Rectangle Select All; Float; Defloat; Modify; Expand by 1.  With Move Tool, place the paper where you like.  Invert Selection; click delete on Paper.  Select None.  Delete template layer.

On Right Rectangle layer Select All; Float; Defloat; Modify; Expand by 1.  Duplicate layer; keep selected.  Open Paper 3; copy; Paste Into Selection.  Select None.  Delete template layer.

On Small Circle layer Select All; Float; Defloat; Modify; Expand by 2.  Duplicate layer; keep selected.  Open Paper 6; copy; Paste Into Selection.  Select None.  Delete template layer.

I did not modify the Large Circle - Merge visible with small circle's paper.  Copy and paste Flower 2 above this merged layer.  Resize to fit and move into position.  Change the Blend Mode to Multiply.

On Left Rectangle layer Select All; Float; Defloat; Modify; Expand by 1.  Duplicate layer; keep selected.  Open Paper 7; copy; Paste Into Selection.  Select None.  Delete template layer.

On Square layer Select All; Float; Defloat; Modify; Expand by 1.  Duplicate layer; keep selected.  Open Paper 4; copy; Paste Into Selection.  Select None.  I also added close-up tube and changed Blend Mode to Screen.

On Row of Squares layer, Fill with Color #95723c (Kit Color).  Apply Texture/Weave with these settings:
Gap 1
Width 2
Opacity 6
Fill Gaps - Weave & Gap Color #352a19 (Kit Color)

For my tag, I resized the wordart 90%.  With Magic Wand select the 5 and the " marks.  Copy and paste Close-up of your Tube.  Keep selected - copy and paste Paper 1.

Invert selection; hit Delete on tube layer and paper layer.  Select non.

Apply Xero Porcelain to close-up tube (Default settings).  Change Blend Mode to Soft Light.

On the paper, I applied a very thin Black Gradient Glow.  You could also use a thin dark drop shadow.

I left the two dotted layers as-is.

Add whatever other elements from the kit that you would like to decorate your tag with.  I used:  Scatter, Leaves 1, Flower Cluster, Squirrel, Bird, and Birdhouse.

I resized all layers so that my tag would be less than 600x600.

Add Drop Shadows as you see fit for your layers.

Now select your Font and add your Name.

Add the proper Crediting for the artwork you are using.

Delete the white background layer; merge visible; save tag in PNG Format.

Thank you for trying my tutorial.

Tag Show-Offs ... Tuts & No Tuts

I love this beautiful Angel which is a Zlata_M Exclusive.  This tag is my result from tutorial "May Beauty".









This PinUpToons tag I made for a group challenge.  I chose Niqui Designs' portion of the Inspired by Verymany Blog Train for my tag.








I chose the July Gift from Eugene Rzhevskii for this tag.  I selected the layer without the Poppy flowers to go better with the colors in the mini kit "Early Summer" from Celinoa's Designs.





Here are my results from tutorial "My Favorite Rose".  I have had this Roman Zaric tube for awhile; when I saw the dress I just had to have her.

My results from tutorial "Precious".  I recently won a random drawing in a group and chose this gorgeous Eugene Rzhevskii as my prize.  I thought she would be perfect and add a bit of color - though I do like black-and-white tags.





For those of us that have Pets, we know their love is unconditional.  So when I saw the tutorial "I Love You To the Moon and Back", I selected this oh-so-cute artwork of Maryline Cazenave.  I did use the kit from the tutorial; only a few pieces because of my artwork choice.

Zlata_M

I recently joined a group on Facebook and one of their many generous members set up a random drawing.  Our challenge was to create a Summer tag for her and the winners would receive the gorgeous Mermaid by Alex Prihodko.  omg!  I am such a fan of his.  Ready for it ... yes ... my name was one of the randomly chosen!  Wow have I been having a lucky week.  Two unbelievable prizes.

Here's my tag with the lovely Zlata and "Sail Away" kit by AmyMarie.

Zlata Exclusive

For a group's scrap kit challenge, I put a little "twist" and made a non-Valentine version using parts of an old template that I had.  Not forgetting of course this gorgeous hunk Zlata created. Thanks for looking.

Zlata_M "Marilyn Monroe"

I've been working a few tutorials - this is my version of "Pretty In Pink" using the gorgeous Zlata Exclusive of Marilyn Monroe.

Thanks for looking.
