Do not reproduce or duplicate this tute. This means no rewording or laying out the steps a little differently, and then calling it your idea. It's still copying - Give me a break! If you think the tag is nice enough to have made several, the fair thing to do is post _this page, doncha think? This tute is ©Chocolata - ALL rights reserved. Snaggers - You are welcome to make the tag, but do NOT post any of these images in ANY groups, webby, Yahoo or MSN! Image Magic WillyMac Trees TTF Charset GIngham Backgrounds You'll need to source the page for the backgrounds. Riverdrift Sourcer When I saw these backgrounds, I thought they would make an excellent frame using Linda's implode information. So, CCP the url for the tree font into your find box, & grab a bg in the color and size you like. I used the largest green from the darks page. If you choose a smaller size check, you may not get the same results on the blur. Also, the WillyMac tree font is a tad touchy. I'm not sure how it will work at other IM's, so use the one (Net 11) linked at the top. It's the one I used and I know it works ok there. Enter the url of the bg at IM. Resize it to 360x240! Go to composite. Comp the bg OVER, & check the tile across and down bx. Go to EFFECTS - Gaussian Blur 10 x 10. This makes a really cool gradient effect (if you used the largest check) Go to F/X and choose IMPLODE at 1 Then again at -30 Go to draw & choose ELLIPSE. Paramters - +180+120 +110+75 +0+360 Fill color = white - No stroke Go to annotate Choose the letter you want for the tree - I used letter A Center +0+10 (If you use a dfferent tree, you may need to adjust this a bit.) FIll color = #096D39 Point size = 140 For snow on the tree - Annotate again. Center +10+15 Stroke color = white -- NO fill color Adjust if needed. Out and save as a jpg. Choose the font you want for your name, CCP into your find bx, grab your trees and go annotate your name. If you want the snowy look: I did mine South +5+0 FIll=white, Point size=65 Then South +7-2 Fill color=#096D39, same pt size. Output and save as a jpg. Go to Specialty Fonts , Christmas, Dings, and CCP the TTF file for Flakey into your find bx. CCP the url for your trees. Annotate your choice of snowflakes around the trees and frame. Point size 35-45 works best. Have fun! If you decide to make a page of cards from this tute, please provide a link back here, so others may learn. TY. ©Nov 14, 2005 Club Choco Tutes |
