Ghouls Gathering



Ghouls Gathering
Written 10/20/2019
This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice of tube or scrap kit to make your tag unique.
If you want your tag to look just like mine, then use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge
of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.
Supplies Used:
Tube of your choice. I am using one by Kristie Silva. www.creepiecuties.com I purchased this tube from Artistically Inclined Licensing when they were open. I do know you can purchase her work at Mystical Scraps now but not this tube.
Scrap kit is a freebie by Kathy’s PSP Designs. It is called Pinkoween. You can get it at https://kathyspspdesigns.blogspot.com/2019/10/pinkoween-ftu-tagger-scrapkit.html
Font of your choice. I am using Halloween Regular.
Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)
NO PLUGINS
Let's Begin:
Open element 5. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Resize by 75%. Make your canvas large enough to work with. We will crop at the end. Move the house up just slightly. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open  your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize as needed. Place to the left side of the house and down a bit. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open element 47 and copy and paste as a new layer. Drag to the bottom of your layer palette. Arrange how you want behind the house.
Open element 72 and copy and paste as a new layer. Arrange this layer so it is between the house and your tube. Place near the bottom so that it fills in the space between your tubes feet and the house. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open element 73 and copy and paste as a new layer. Image mirror horizontal. Place in front of the pink and black grass. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open element 28. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 50% and then again by 75%. Place down at the feet of your tube and to the right. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open element 62 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 50% and then again by 75%. Place at the bottom far right. Add a drop shadow  of your choice.
Open element 63 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 50% 2 times. Move to the bottom far left of your tube. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open element 74 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 50% and then again by 65%. Place so it is hanging from the top of the chimney. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Open element 87 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 65%. Move up to the top of the house. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
Add the text of your choice to the sign if using the same tube as I am.  
Add your copyright information.
Add your name.
Crop your tag and save.
Thanks for giving my tutorial a go.
