~CT Audition~ ~Celinart pinups~

Ok, so, here is my "audition" for a CT call for Celinart.  




I am using the prepaid tube Viorotica tube by Celinart, she is available HERE



The scrap kit is from PinkParadox Productions (I AM a CT for PinkParadox, lol :)  )
I used Gothic Twilight, which is retired, but check out the store, HERE, for some awesome kits!  

Alright, ready to start the tut?  Here we go.  

Plug-ins:  Gradient Glow

Drop Shadow used: Vertical 4, Horizontal 4, Opacity 82, blur 4, color: #202020

Inner Bevel:  Bevel 2, width 15, smoothness 25, depth 18, ambience 4, shininess 30, color: white #ffffff, angle: 4, intensity 35, elevation 63

Mask: I used 2 masks, both by Vix: 167 and 362.  You can find her masks HERE.

Font:  Channel, available HERE

Colors:  front is black, back is teal (from the tube) #16c8c9     


Remember, please use all images properly, and licesens where applicable.

We will start from the bottom layer up, unless otherwise stated.

Abbreviations used:  
DS - drop shadow
RTF - resize to fit
C/P - copy and paste

(please, dont forget to save as you go!)

Ready?  Let's begin!

Open 500 x 500

C/P e92  rstf  opacity 67

C/P Paper 14, RTF, add Vix mask 362, merge group

C/P Paper 7, RTF, add Vix mask 167, merge group

C/P e48, RTF, place to the right of the image.  Open tube (select the colors you want), c/p into image, duplicate.  Hide one layer for now, we will come back to it soon.)  Take that unhidden tube layer, rename as "mirror girl" and place her where you want her over the mirror.  Take your freehand tool, and outline inside the mirror frame, activate the mirror girl layer, and hit delete.  You should now have just the part of the tube you want inside the mirror, like she's looking out at you.  With the mirror girl layer still activated, change the blend mode to "luminance legacy".

Unhide the tube layer from earlier, bring to top, and refer to my image for placement.

C/P elements and refer to my image above for placement, add ds of choice
e2
e39
e34 

Add copyright layer with proper licesnse. 

Add name, convert to raster, inner bevel: (see above for Inner Bevel Details)
Then add Eye Candy Gradient Glow to name, width 12, Corners, 25, Opacity 100, color from tube add DS.

Thats it!  :)  Thanks for looking!  Hope you enjoyed the tut.
I would love to see any tags you make with my tutorial!  email them to me at: melwdswife@yahoo.com  Have fun! Please, leave some love or a thank you!

~CT~ ~Fairyland Christmas~

~CT~ ~PinkParadox Productions~  
~Fairyland Christmas~
What a fun kit! I had a blast playing with this kit! Running elves, cute little trees with faces, all sorts of fun, fairyland type of Christmas elements!
This kit is available at PinkParadox Productions Store, HERE


For this CT tag, I used the lovely and fun work by Lix.  You can get this tube, called "Corina" at Lix's store, HERE
(you must have a license to use this work!)

This next CT example uses the gorgeous work of Ninaste.  The tube is called "Santa's Soldier", and is available at BeeHive Studio, HERE.  This tube is super cute!  It has quite a few different "elf" layers and this gorgeous "reindeer" layer!  

You must have the proper license to use this work!

Remember, all these came from my own little mind.  Please do not claim as your own.  As always, use all the proper license's when using any artist's work!  :)  
Thanks for looking!

~CT~ ~Pink Cocoa Christmas~

Oh, how I love this kit! By it's name, you would think that it is just pink and chocolate...BUT, you will be very surprised with what you will find!  I will be honest, though, this kit made me eat Christmas cookies while I was creating these CT tags.  LOL!  
Kit is named, Pink Cocoa Christmas.  It is by PinkParadox Productions, and is available at her store, HERE:

 There are 155 elements, that range from pink, gold, silver, white and, of course, chocolate goodies!  10 beautiful frames, and 30 fantastic papers that only Carrie can create!  

The CT tag below uses the beautiful work of Jose Cano, it is his Autumn bonus tube, HERE
 
This next CT is a facebook cover; I used the gorgeous work of Zindy Neilson~ her Winter Walk tube, available at her store, HERE


PLEASE, if you use any of these artist's work, or that of any others, please follow their license requirements and all TOU's.

Thank you all very much for looking!
