CT tag featuring the stunning art of 

Barbara Jensen using her tube 84-3 Cosplay.

I am also featuring  the

 Ladyhawwk Designs Scrap Cutting Edge &

Rebel Dezigns Animation 308 From

Animation Pack 103. She has fully embraced

her love of Cosplay and Sci-fi. If you don't understand

her fandom, than perhaps she isn't the

girl for you. But if you do, then stop by

& say hello. 

CT tag featuring the gorgeous

pinup of Justice Howard. I am

using her tube Tempting 2

which is available at 

Mystical Scraps. She is beautiful

in her body. It shows how

comfortable she is being bare.

Can you resist wanting to run your 

hands along her body?

tutorial is purely coincidental.

I am using a tube by Pinuptoons.

Plugin:
EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow

Open a 700x700 new image.

Select your tube image of choice.

Select your preset Rectangle shape tool.

Make sure to set it to the Square shape option.

On your Materials Palette, hide your Foreground/

Stroke Color Palette box. On the Background/Fill

Choose a dark color from your tube for the color.

Now with the shape tool, draw out a square shape

to the desired size you want for it. 

Objects - Align - Center in Canvas. Convert this

layer to raster.

Choose your Ellipse preset shape tool.

Now select the circle shape option on it.

On your Materials Palette, change the 

color to white. 

Draw out a small circle shape. Convert to raster.

Duplicate this layer four times for a total of five

layers. Arrange around the square as wanted.

Merge the circle layers together.

Select the square layer with your magic wand tool.

Selections - invert.

On the circle layer, press delete on your keyboard.

Select none.

Merge the two shape layers together.

Go to Effects - 3D Effects - Inner Bevel.

Select the Bevel option 3 & click okay.

Paste your tube as a new layer. Arrange on

the shape layer as wanted. 

Back on your Materials palette, choose a 3rd 

color of choice from your tube for the Background color.

Leave the Foreground color hidden still.

On your Preset shape tool, choose a heart or shape

of choice that fits your tag. I chose to use a heart shape.

Draw out one small heart along your shape layer.

Convert to raster & duplicate once - mirror. Position

this layer as wanted on the tag.

Add a subtle drop shadow the small shape layer we just made.

Select your font tool. Choose a font of choice.

Near the bottom of your tag, click with your mouse

to bring up the text box. Type out a word or two that

fits your tag. I used POLKADOTS for mine.

Once you are happy with the size, convert to raster.

We're going to apply a Gradient Glow to the word now.

Select the plugin EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow - using

the color setting Fat & Glow width 3.00.

On Materials palette, go back to the earlier dark color that you

used on the square shape. 

Now back to the Rectangle shape tool. Draw out a narrow horizontal

rectangle. Convert to raster. You want part of it to stick out from

behind the left side of the word. Duplicate this layer once 

& move to the right side as wanted. I did position one near the top &

the other one on the bottom half of word.

Back to our merged shape layer. Duplicate this layer once.

Resize the copy layer 45%. Move this layer to the top left corner

& partially behind the orginal shape layer. You want it coming out from

behind the layer. Duplicate the copy layer once. Move this to the diagonal

right bottom corner. Position so it is coming out on the side of the big layer.

Merge layers visible & crop to desired size.

Add artist copyright information to the tag & save

as a png.

Thanks for trying my tutorial.

CT tag featuring the stunning art of Barbara Jensen

using her bonus tube Heavens Gate.

She is available with a $9.00 purchase

from her store. I have also used the

scrap Color Field by Ladyhawwk Designs.

For her, Heaven is decorated in blues & greens.

Touches of silver help make the colors pop

in her world.

CT tag featuring Art By Barbara Jensen using her tube 

84-2 Maria. I am also using the scrap Charity by

Ladyhawwk Designs & 

Animation 87 from Animation Pack

29 by Rebel Dezigns. Donning her

mask, she flips her skirt and dances away.

The whimsical feel of the night brings

a smile to her face.

CT tag featuring the gorgeous art of Mélanie Delon 

& the wonderful scrap Antique Autumn by

Tasha's Playground. In her quiet corner

of the woods, she decorates with vintage

autumn touches. Like herself, there is

such beauty found in this season.  Autumn also

whispers a kind of silence for those allowed to

listen. The silence brings forth a time to reflect

and think of the year which has passed.

CT tag featuring the magical art of Sara Butcher.

I am using a past bonus tube by her.

With this adorable fairy, I have the 

wonderful scrap Home Time by Hungry Hill.

She is getting ready for her day. But first,

a cup of her favorite coffee to wake up.

She loves to sip it on the couch as she 

takes a moment to prepare for the day.

CT timeline using the wonderful art of

Charles R. Bristow and his tube 

French Maid Desiree.

With her, I am using the scrap

Getting Dirty by Creative

Scraps by Crys. Being in

housekeeping myself as my job,

my own house is definitely NOT clean lol.

I just have no interest in doing it when home.

CT timeline featuring the fantastic art of 

Enys Guerrero & the wonderfully gothic

IB Enys Guerrero 21-2 Scrap by

Gimptastic Scraps. 

The darkness inside has consumed her.
It seeps out to surround her world entirely.

CT tag featuring the stunning art of

Barbara Jensen using one of her 

Holiday Edition tubes. These tubes 

come with a few different layers

for holidays. With her, I 

have set this witch with the 

scrap Creeped by Ladyhawwk Designs.

Both can be found in the store.

She is alluring and creepy at the same time.

A mystery to those who are not

familiar with her kind of magic.

CT tag featuring the fantastic art of Rebecca Sinz

using her tube Crimson Wings. I am

also using the scrap Crimson Thorns by

Irish Princess Designs with it.

The thorns have bled red and over time,
have turned her wings the same shade.
What has made the thorns bleed remains
a mystery though. Is it a curse as some
suspect - or something more sinister?
The mystery remains - as those who
started it have long passed - buried
in the ancient, gothic church.

CT tag featuring the art of Maryline Cazenave

& the wonderful scrap Autumn Days by Honored Scraps.

This adorable raccoon loves everything autumn.

Along with his hedgehog buddy, they collect

all the treasures they find for this time of year.

CT tag featuring the amazing art of Anna Marine

& the spooky scrap Bat-a-licous by 

Irish Princess Designs. Will you

brave the night as the bats fly?

Guided by the moonlight, the 

creatures of the night have come

out to play.

CT tags featuring the beautiful art of Sara Butcher

& scrap by Hungry Hill. For my first tag,

it features the bundle 53. Isn't she just

the sweetest witch with her kitty?

On my 2nd tag, I used the same scrap

but a tube from a different pack by the artist.

I think both help illustrate the magic that 

Halloween can cast on everyone.

CT wallpaper featuring the wonderful art of Alena Lazareva 

using her October 2016 Bonus tube. With her, i am

also using the festive IB Alena Lazareva  October

2016 Bonus Scrap by Hungry Hill. She is

excited for Halloween to come to her

corner of the woods. Lots of trick

or treaters will come decked out in costumes.

Will the ghosts be nice or shall they play tricks?

The wallpaper is available in two sizes

1920x1080 here

1280x1024 here

CT tag featuring the fantastic art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith

& the haunted scrap The Haunting Hour by Tasha's Playground.

This dark angel & her feline companion have waited all

year for this hallowed night. Tonight, they

shall haunt our realm & mingle with

their ghostly friends.

CT tag featuring the wonderful art of PinupToons

& the scrap Autumn Leaves by Gimptastic Scraps.

She reads outdoors among the autumn leaves.

The cool air and autumn colors draw

her outdoors to enjoy her book.
