I just wanted to show a tag I made tonight

featuring my personal commission

by Queen Uriel. This one is so special

to me as she is depicted having 

Vitiligo like myself. It's an autoimmune

condition which changes the color of 

our hair & skin. We lose our color

& as a result, both become lighter in color.

I love how wonderfully she illustrated 

the spots our skin gets.

of Brigid Ashwood using her October

2019 Bonus Tube. This beautiful 

feline can be yours with a 

$10 purchase of her regular 

tubes this month. I am also

showcasing the magical IB

Brigid Ashwood October

2019 Scrap by Kizzed by Kelz.

The wallpaper is 1920x1080

& is available here for download.

Under a full moon, she prowls 

the sacred alter grounds, guarding them.

She is waiting for her priestess to 

come perform the ceremony tonight.

Mitch Foust using his October 2019

I am also showcasing the wonderful 

IB Mitch Foust October 2019

Scrap by Chaos Priestess. As the clock

strikes midnight & the moon is risen high,

tonight she shall cast her spells. 

Use the energies flowing through

 & around her. The ancients shall speak

as the veil is thinned. It would 

be wise to listen close to their words.

Briet Olga, a retired CDO artist.

I am also showcasing the wonderful IB

scrap Enys Guerrero 27-3 by

Kizzed by Kelz. Humans might

be creeped out to know that this

particular skeleton rather enjoys

sitting outside in nature. He isn't sure

why it freaks them out to see one

moving around & conversing. As he says,

skeletons are used to residing outside,

so why not enjoy the outdoors?

CT timeline featuring the adorably 

fun art of Cuddly Rigor Mortis

using her tube 118-1. I'm also

showcasing the wonderful

scrap Sweet Halloween by

 Karmalized Scraps. This sweet ghost

friend can't resist all the yummy

looking treats left out! Just a few nibbles

& bites to taste & enjoy everything.

He's sure the humans won't notice

if he indulges. After all, its Halloween

& even ghosts deserve some treats.

CT tag & timeline featuring absolutely

gorgeous art of Elena Dudina. I am 

showcasing the Elena Dudina &

Chaos Priestess Bundle 1. Elena's three

stunning tubes are truly magical. When paired

with the scrap by Chaos,  realms of

fairies come to life with this bundle. 

Take a peek inside their hidden world.

Watch them dance to music you

will find yourself humming along with.

Any resemblance to another

tutorial is purely coincidental.

I am using the tube Pumpkin by

Rebecca Sinz.

Plugins: 

Mura's Meister Copies

VM Natural: Welder

EyeCandy 4000: Glass

EyeCandy 4000: Gradient Glow

Mask: AR315_CM_mask141

from Creative Misfits Blog.

I'm not sure which posts the mask I used came from.

Open a 700x700 new image.

Copy & paste your tube as a new layer.

Duplicate the tube once. Select the original

tube layer.

 Apply the plugin 

Mura's Meister Copies: Wallpaper Rotate-Default settings.

Apply the mask AR315_CM_mask141. Merge group.

Rename the layer 1.

Duplicate the layer twice. Rename the two new layers as 

2 & 3.

Hide the 3 layer for now. Select the layer 2 on your layers palette.

Select the plugin VM Natural: Welder -Default settings.

Change the blend mode on this layer to Overlay or one of 

choice depending on your tag.

On the Layer 3, go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur.

I did a radius of 10.00 for mine. 

Change the Blend mode on this layer to Hard Light.

Now, with the original Layer 1 selected, apply the plugin

EyeCandy 4000: Glass with the settings:

Bevel Width 45.00

Smoothness 75

Bevel Placement: Inside

Edge Darkening 30

Gradient Shading 35

Refraction 50

Opacity 0

Tinting 50

Color: White

Choose your Ellipse Preset Shape Tool

Line Style Solid & Width 3.00

On your Materials palette, set your Foreground color

to a color that will stand out from your tag. Hide the background

color for now. 

Now drag out a circle around your tag. You don't want it

too big but enough to go around nearly all of your tag.

Select your font tool. Select a font which fits your tag style.

On your Materials Palette, unhide the Background color & select a 

color for your text. I used white for mine.

Hover your mouse along the circle shape until it shows A) but sideways slightly.

Click your mouse & type out your text. 

Hit apply when done. 

Now on your layers palette, click the + on the Vector layer for the text & circle layers. This will open up the layers. Click the eye on the circle ellipse layer to hide it from your tag. Then re-click the - to close the layers but still keep your text visible. Convert to raster. I applied EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow - Black Halo 3.00 to my text to help make it more visible.

Crop tag to desired size. Add copyright information & name to the tag.

Save as PNG. Thanks for trying my tutorial

Sharing a tag I did featuring the art of

I am also showcasing the beautiful scrap

Be You by Chaos Priestess. Let the tears

fall & leave a stain upon you for now.

For now, you must embrace the pain &

sadness of suffering such a loss.

But know, over the decades &

centuries, those tears will not 

even be a memory. Only the vague ghost

of a life you once lived.
