Kolor Scapez Konvoy -- NOV BLOG TRAIN!!!!

For the month of November, the Kolor Scapex Konvoy focusses on:

Drunk & Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month

Since 1981, November has been designated as National Drunk and Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month. Throughout the month, efforts are renewed to educate Americans about the consequences of driving drunk or under the influence of drugs. People are encouraged to drive responsibly and to avoid putting themselves and others at risk. By getting the word out about 3D Month, communities can implement effective strategies like sobriety checkpoints and information workshops, which combat drunk and drugged driving.

Here's the 'sneak peak' for my part of the blog train...which is, of course, FREE...(always a good thing! LOL)

Tutorial: Memories

Memories

This tutorial was written by Livia @ Liv Luvs Scraps on October 13, 2009 and is my own creation. Any resemblance to another tutorial is a coincidence! DO NOT take anything from this site and claim it as your own, including my ideas. Anything you create from this tutorial is yours, as long as you don’t make any money out of it. Please remember to only use images/tubes that you hold a license to, or are free for personal use. (Check an artist’s TOU before using their work!)

Supplies you’ll need:

Tube of choice – I’m using a tube from Anniebel (site currently down) for the first tag, and one from Popeye Wong for the second tag (at the bottom).
CAUTION: Popeye Wong's site contains images of an adult nature. Discretion is advised.

Scrap kit of choice – the kit I’m using is “Nan’s Memories” by Kirsty’s Scraps, which may be purchased here.

Mask of choice – I’m using ‘kelsmask180’ from Ms. Kel – unfortunately, her masks are no longer available on the net...but you can use any mask you like. If you’re using the same kit as I am or a similar kit, a vintage-looking mask will look nice! (In the second tag, I’m using a mask from Creative Desires, which is also not available anymore, unless I haven’t searched the net correctly! LOL)

Filters [OPTIONAL]: * Eye Candy 5 Impact (a pay filter, sorry!) Or you can use version 4, if you have it! You’ll be using the Glow/Gradient Glow filter.

If you’re using either of the Eye Candy’s – you can download the settings I made for this tag here. Or you can use your own! (In the zip, there are 2 files – one is for EC4 [which is the small file] and the other is for EC5 [the larger file]...feel free to use them in your other tags and projects!) Put these in the Gradient Glow folder of your Eye Candy folder, which should be with the rest of your plug-ins & filters.

REMEMBER…Save your work often!!!

I will be referring to specific elements from the kit I’ve used, so if you aren’t using the same kit, use the elements you like from your kit of choice. At the bottom of this page, I’ve included an example using one of my own kits, to see that you can make this tag with any kit of your choosing. :)

This tutorial assumes you have knowledge of Paint Shop Pro and its features.

Open up a 600x600 canvas – you can resize it later. Fill the canvas with white (for our background).

Also open up the tube you’ll be using, duplicate it and close the original – just in case! :)

From your kit of choice, open up a paper that will match your tube. I’m using Paper 10 from “Nan’s Memories”.

Duplicate & close the original.

Copy & paste this paper on your blank canvas.

Go to Layers...Load/Save Mask...Load Mask From Disk (if you have your mask of choice already in your ‘masks’ psp folder)...if you don’t, put it in there now! :)

Choose the mask you want to use. Make sure these are selected: Source Luminance, Fit to Canvas, Hide Mask. Then click ‘Load’.

Merge Group.

Next, choose a ribbon from your kit. I’m using Ribbon 3 from “Nan’s Memories”.

Copy & paste onto your tag, on the layer above your masked paper. Resize if you need to.

We’re going to make the ribbon look like it’s wrapped around the sides of the mask layer.

Firstly, lower the opacity of your ribbon so you can see the mask underneath.

Using your lasso (aka the Freehand Selection Tool), and choosing the ‘Point to Point’ option for ‘Selection Type’, click around the part of the ribbon you want to delete – the part that’s going over the edge of the mask layer.

After you’ve selected this, press ‘delete’ on your keyboard. Hopefully it should sort of look like it’s wrapped around the edge.

Do the same for the other end of the ribbon.

Next, click on your “Lighten/Darken” tool and use these settings:

Shape=circle, size=20, hardness=30, step=2, density=100, thickness=100, rotation=0, opacity=50

Right-clicking (which is the darken tool), go over the ‘wrapping’ edges of your ribbon once...this gives the effect of your ribbon wrapping around the sides! Isn’t that clever?!? LOL

Add a drop shadow of choice to the ribbon.

(For my second tag, my ribbon was thin, so I added a word art embellishment to the layer below the ribbon, and then made it look like the ribbon was wrapped around the word art!)

Choose another embellishment of choice from the scrap kit. I chose the Key from “Nan’s Memories”, and a vinyl record for the second tag.

Place it on the bottom right hand side of your tag. You can either have it on top of or below your ribbon – completely up to you!

Add a drop shadow of choice to this embellishment.

Time for your tube. Resize it, if needed (I think I resized both tubes by about 80%).

Place this toward the left hand side of the tag.

Add a drop shadow of choice to your tube.

Now – time for your text!

Using a colour & font of your choice (I used ‘Freestyle Script’ for both tags either at 90 or 110 in size), type out your text. Convert to raster layer.

Here’s the tricky part... Well, it’s not so tricky anymore, coz I’ve made it simple for ya!!

Open up whichever Eye Candy you’re using; find the ‘Black White Black’ setting (you may have to ‘import’ it into EC...which just means going to ‘Manage’, ‘Import’ then finding the setting), and click ‘OK’...see, told you I made it simple! :)

If you want to, you can add a drop shadow to this text.

All you have to do now is add the copyright/licensing info, and your watermark!

Resize your tag & trim the canvas if you need to...

Save it as a JPG...and you're done!!!

Kolor Scapez Konvoy -- BLOG TRAIN!!!! :)

I'm excited to be a part of this blog train - it's my first month participating, and it looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun!! :)

Anyway...this month's Kolor Scapez Konvoy Awareness Blog Train is for Breast Cancer Awareness!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place throughout the month of October each year. It began in 1985 in an effort to increase concern for breast health issues and spread the importance of early cancer detection. While a great deal of research and treatments have been achieved and improved in recent years, breast cancer is still one of the leading causes of death among women, second only to skin cancer. Therefore, the value of acknowledging and promoting healthy breast care is substantial. It is important to educate women on the risk factors and causes of breast cancer, as well as possible preventative measures and annual mammography screening for women over 40.

Here's the 'sneak peak' for my part of the blog train...which is, of course, FREE...(always a good thing! LOL)

Tutorial: My Light

My Light for Kirsty

This tutorial was written by Livia @ Liv Luvs Scraps on July 9, 2009 and is my own creation. Any resemblance to another tutorial is a coincidence! DO NOT take anything from this site and claim it as your own, including my ideas. Anything you create from this tutorial is yours, as long as you don’t make any money out of it. Please remember to only use images/tubes that you hold a license to, or are free for personal use. (Check an artist’s TOU before using their work!)

Supplies you’ll need:

Tube of choice – I’m using a tube from Irulana for the first tag, and one from Popeye Wong for the second tag (at the bottom). CAUTION: Popeye Wong's site contains images of an adult nature. Discretion is advised.

Scrap kit of choice – the kit I’m using is “I Know What You Are” by Kirsty’s Scraps, which may be purchased here.

Filters [OPTIONAL]: * Eye Candy 5 Impact (a pay filter, sorry!) OR Eye Candy 3.1 (now a free filter) – you can find it for free if you search for it on Google :) [Or you can use version 4, if you have it!] You’ll be using the Glow/Gradient Glow filter.

2 fonts of choice (I used Quigley Wiggly by Nick’s Fonts, and Ashley’s Handwriting, which can be found at dafont.com)

REMEMBER…Save your work often!!!

I will be referring to specific elements from the kit I’ve used, so if you aren’t using the same kit, use the elements you like from your kit of choice. At the bottom of this page, I’ve included an example using one of my own kits, to see that you can make this tag with any kit of your choosing. :)

This tutorial assumes you have knowledge of Paint Shop Pro and its features.

Open up a 600x600 canvas – you can resize it later. Fill the canvas with white (for our background).

Now open up the tube you will be using, duplicate it (so you don’t accidently do something to the original!) and close the original. Minimise this – you won’t need it for now.

Open up a paper from your kit – I used Paper 14 from IKWYA. Copy & paste it onto your canvas.

Time to add a mask to this layer...I used a mask called ‘pgd_magical’ – unfortunately, I don’t remember where I got this from... so if you don’t have this mask, you can find one that looks similar. (Eg. Vix PSP has a mask called Vix_Mask196 which would look nice. Also, Ginas Gems Tuts n Such has a nice one – Mask28. Or even Essex Girl’s Fringe Border mask would look nice...or just use whatever mask you like! LOL) Apply the mask, making sure that it looks a little like mine (a thin-ish rectangle with the paper’s pattern showing in the centre...does that make sense? LOL)

[If you end up with a square-shaped paper from your mask, you can use the deform tool to make it more rectangular.]

Find another paper from the kit – I used Paper 8. Copy & paste this onto your canvas and move it under the masked layer. Using your selection tool, select the area on this paper that fits inside your masked layer rectangle. (In other words, you’ll have marching ants around the rectangle, but on your paper layer...) Go to Selections/Invert and hit delete. You’ll now only have the second paper showing through the ‘holes’ in the masked layer...man, I am not making any sense, am I? Gee...I hope you get the idea with this! LOL

The next thing I did was found the Glitter Circle in IKWYA, copied it and pasted it onto the canvas, and moved this layer above your ‘white’ bottom layer. If your kit doesn’t have a glitter circle element, you can make your own, or use a doodle element or another mask...completely up to you!!! Resize it if you need to, and move this element to the left of your tag. Add a drop shadow if needed.

Find a curl/doodle element in your kit – I used Doodle1 from IKWYA. Copy & paste it onto your tag and move this layer to the top. Position it a little lower than the centre of your tag. Add a drop shadow of your choice.

Now maximise your tube of choice, copy & paste it onto your tag, resize as needed (I resized it to 70%) and move it to the left of the canvas. Add a drop shadow of choice.

Add an embellishment of your choice to the top right of your tag. I used the Lantern, and resized it to 30%.

Time for your word art - “You Are My Light”. For this, I used Quigley Wiggly at size 48. You can use a colour, gradient, pattern or paper of your choice for this – I made mine plain white. Add a drop shadow to it and move it to the bottom right of your tag.

Open up another paper from your kit of choice (I used Paper 1). Duplicate it and close the original – just in case! LOL

Back to your canvas – change your background fill to the paper you’ve chosen, and have the foreground as nothing. And type in the name (or text) of your choice with whatever font you like. I used Ashley’s Handwriting at size 60. Convert this to a raster layer. Move it to the top of your tag, and place it next to your tube. Add a drop shadow.

Now all you have to do is add the copyright/licensing info, and your watermark!

Crop the canvas if you need to...

Save it as a JPG (or PNG)...and you're done!!!
