Please SAVE often!!

Let’s get started

Save the two masks into your Corel/Mask folder under your programs files.

Now, open a 600x600 transparent canvas. Flood fill white.

Open up your scrap kit, and choose the Paper from Justine’s portion of the kit. (Leave open as you are going to use this paper for the font).

Create a new raster layer and flood fill with this pattern (Paper).Load your first mask: Dead Sexy, with these settings:

Right Click and Merge Group. Top toolbar- Adjust-Hue & saturation-Colorize with these settings: Hue 86 and

Saturation:124.

. Open up the Paper2-GI_GothicDuo from Gothic Inspirations side of the kit.

Create a new raster layer and flood fill with this pattern (Paper 2).Load your second mask: Love Bug Mask, with these settings:

Right Click and Merge Group.

Copy and paste the Frame from the kit as a new layer, resize by 85%. Move to the top and left of your masks as your going to add your tube to the right.

Copy and paste the Tombstones-GI_GothicDuo, resize by 75%. Make sure this layer is beneath your frame layer. Now use your pick tool to drag in smaller as needed, so none

of the tombstones stick out from the frame.

Now add a gradient glow. I used Eye Candy 4000, to create this effect. I used Color White and Diffuse Settings: Glow Width 3, Soft Corners 25, Overall Opacity 100 and the

Draw Only Outside Selection is checked.

Now copy and paste the tree from the kit: Tree-GI_GothicDuo as a new layer, resize this by 85%. Make sure this layer is beneath your tombstones. See mine to reference.

Now copy and paste your tube of choice. I used a Cane Hoyer tube called Halloween.Move to the left of your frame.

I used Font-Halloween Spider for the Gothic Nights. Word Art provided or create your own saying at the bottom.

Size 24, stroke width 1, Foreground Black and Background the same PAPER (under patterns). Convert to a raster layer.

I also took the sparkles from the Cane Hoyer tube and inverted them into the font. You can do this effect by copy and paste the sparkles as a new layer, use your pick tool and move to where you like on the font. Make sure this layer is above your font layer. Click

on the font layer to make active. Top Toolbar-Selections-Select All-Float-Defloat-Invert.

Now click on your sparkles to make this layer active. Hit delete on your keyboard. Now Deselect. *To do this: Top Tool Bar-Selections-Select None.

Now using a cursive font add your name at the bottom, I used A&S Black Swan, Font size 16, Foreground Black and Background Color Code: #fdeac4. Add a drop shadow.

Now crop your tag to each edge to get rid of any jaggies.

Now add your copyright and watermark.

Save as a JPG or PNG, and you are done!
