Scrap Kit of choice. I am using a kit by

Tracy at Scrap Anonymous when

it was a freebie at a store

She belongs to.

Tube or image of choice.

I am using an overlay for My paper by

Armina Designs.

I have a note here as My kit isn't a scrapper's

size so I'm going to have to open

a blank canvas 3600x3600.

Some of You might prefer full or tagger's but

Mine when I do tags and things I love

them to be full size. Anytime You get a full sized

kit the elements You use are easily sized.

This is how You do it.

Image

Resize

All layers unchecked

And for size use

Percentage until it's a size

You like.

Ok so if Your using a tagger sized kit open a blank canvas

of 700x700, if it's full go 3600x3600.

Find a paper from Your kit.

Edit Copy.

Click on the blank canvas with Your magic wand.

Edit

Paste as a new layer.

Selections

Select none.

Open a frame from the kit and paste

it as a new layer.

Add any of the elements You wish

to the tag/Quick Page

pasting each as a new layer.

Using Your magic wand click inside of

the frame.

Go to Your paper layer and tap the

delete key on Your

keyboard.

Selections

Select none.

Now let's add some depth so go to

use another with a lighter shade.

Ok go back down to Raster 4 and using

Your Manual color correction tool

use these settings:

checked.

Freehand Selection

unchecked.

use the same color as the

the rest of Your QP.

alone. We'll get to that here in just a

little bit.

a new trick.

this very pretty page You've

been making.

Click on Your eye dropper tool and depending

on the paper You used

on the background You will either choose a

light or dark color.

Now add any of the text You want and give

it a pretty drop shadow.

If You wish to now add an image of Your own

just click inside the frame and go to

selections

modify

contract

by only a few pixels though and then it should

look very very nice.

I hope You enjoy this tutorial as much as I did

writing it for You.
