Update on PCS and Prego!
It looks like my husband is going to have to have surgery! He has a cyst pushing against
some nerves under the shoulder ball bone [ er.. I think thats what he said LOL ] and he also has torn something in his shoulder - so that may get us out of his PCS orders! Not exactly the way I was looking for it to happen, but hey we'll take what we can get at this point!
I still haven't been seen by an OB - much to my GP's displeasure. She even sent them a note about something or other, no idea what though. Never tick off my doctor, she rules. I am 9 - 11 weeks along & having my backside handed to me by this baby!!! If I want to eat, everything looks NASTY....if the baby wants to eat...I have to force it down my throat. This is going to be fun...eventually LOL

Okay - I'm off to go finagle with fiddius!

PS - I've got some new stuff up at OSDS!

Rainbow Dash is a set of PNG papers that can be used for ANYTHING.
Textures, layouts, cut outs, patterns ..if you can think it..I'm pretty sure Rainbow Dash can do it!
Rainbow Dash is a taste basically of another two sets I have made. You can check those out
HERE & HERE > I may change those two sets to Cu4Cu - but I haven't made up my mind yet.

At any rate you can get this colorful freebie HERE
Thank you for coming by and I hope you enjoy! Feel free to send me some
feed back - it's very helpful!! -- ataxicemotions@aol.com --

Tutorials from me are very rare - so don't expect a lot LOL

Kit used: Mermaid Dreams in the Ocean by Urban Mermaid Designs
She does have a tagger size kit available as well! I work with Full Size kits most times.
This IS a PTU kit and I LOVE it - actually I love most of her work. I haven't used
all of her kits but I'm working my way there lol.
Thanks for another great kit Kate!

I used a tube by Amy Brown - you can get a license and her tubes at CILM.
I used a tube from Pack S - it's her latest release.

Plugins: Eyecandy 4000 & Maurs Copies

Okay, shall we get started? [ The text is all up to you tho! ]

1. Open paper of your choice - I used Paper 2 - resize to 500x500 pixels.
Open your tube and resize by 70% or as needed.
Copy tube to your tag.

2. Rectangle Tool - Foreground ONLY - color of your choice - size 4
Draw a simple rectangle around your tube & convert to raster layer
Duplicate your rectangle layer & resize by 105%, merge down.

3. Add a new layer. Click on your rectangle layer to activate it.
Magic wand - select INSIDE the rectangle - selections - Expand by 3 -
select your NEW layer and flood fill. Drag layer below your rectangle layer - merge down.

4. Convert your background to layer.
Magic wand - select INSIDE the rectangle - selections, expand by 3
Activate your background layer - promote selection to layer.
[ Do NOT merge yet ]

5. Eyecandy 4000 - add a VERY LIGHT GG to the tube - VERY LIGHT.
Add a drop shadow to the tube - not to heavy.

Your layers should look like this:
Frame
Tube
Promoted Selection
Background

6. X out the background & merge visible
Duplicate the merged layer - apply plugin Maurs copies
After Image - Rotate Random - I set the top to 4 & left the rest alone
Lower opacity to around 60%

7. Open element 12 & resize to width of 500 - apply to your tag

Your layer should look like this:
Top Image
Element 12
Copied Image with plugin effect
Background

8. Open a second paper - I used paper 1 - Resize to 500x500
Place the paper UNDER element 12 & erase the paper ABOVE the waves

9. Open element 3 & resize by 30% & paste to your tag, moving it to the left
Paste on your tag ABOVE the waves
Selection tool - FREE HAND LASSO
Upscale your image so you can see - then lasso around two parts of the
waves - you do NOT have to get the outline perfect =]

10. Once you have what you want, make sure the waves layer is active
& go to selections, float - defloat. Activate your element 3 layer & hit delete.
Pretty cool huh? I love that.

11. Open brush3 & resize by 70%
Paste to your image & change the blend mode to soft light
Move the paper to just above the second paper.

Layers:
Main Image
Element 3
Waves
Brush 3
Second paper
Duplicated image with plugin
Background

12. Merge visible - add your info & artist info - save as .jpg and you're all done!

Hope you enjoyed & it wasn't to hard to follow!

So I've been in a personal slump lately & just haven't had much going for me
in the way of creativity. I do have one new kit coming up but other then that I've
kinda just been BLAH. So what did I make? Papers =]
I love papers, they're my all time favorite part of any kit - kind of like my
do or don't buy button! Well, here's the new set I made & I'm working on
another one - Envy. Enjoy & thanks for looking!
