CHRISTMAS WISHES

TWO DIFFERENT TAGS FROM THE SAME TUTORIAL




I have included the files I used in this tutorial. 
They can be downloaded HERE


You may want to draw your own circles, but  if not, I’ve included my selection which is in the downloads and should be placed in your selections folder.

Open a new image 800 x800, transparent background.

**Layers/New Raster Layer  - If you don’t want the background and frame skip the next steps.

Using two colours from your main image make a gradient. I set mine like below


Flood fill your new layer with this gradient.  If you intend to put a border around your image I would do it now.

I used 4 main colour, 4 white and 7 main colour.  

Then I used Graphics Plus/Cross shadow on outer edge**


Layers/New Raster Layer

Selections/Load Selection for disk – look for jmr interlocking circles.

Change your foreground colour to material and select a fill of your choice. I’ve included the one I used - cmlstgold005. Fill your circle frames with this.

If you want to add a slight inner bevel, do so now.  I just added a dropped shadow.

With your magic wand set as below, click on the outside of your circles.



Selections invert.  Layers, New Raster Layer.

Go to your main image, and copy it.

Then paste into selection.  You will see that the image is on top of the frames. Layers/Arrange/Move down

Layers/Merge Visible

Close out that layer and add a new layer. 

Add your gold stars and red ribbon to decorate.

Put your text on the bottom and you’re done.

Resize your finished image to 500 x 500. Add your watermark and you’re done.

I put some animation on the tags I made but it's your choice

Have fun.
