Xero - Fritilary

Template by Kandi Kissez and Dees'sign depot which you can download HERE.
Leave some love when you download!

Fonts of choice - I am using a pixel font for the copyright and Southern Aire for the name.

Ready?
Let's get started!

Firstly Shift+D to duplicate the whole template then close out the original. Close off the copyright layer.

On the gold glitter arch layer add Xero Fritilary settings of your choice I just hit random until I got something that I liked. Then go to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise- random checked, Monochrome checked and percentage at 36%.

On the orange shape layer go to selections-select all-float-defloat add a new layer and flood fill with a color or gradient of choice. Then go to modify expand by 2 and copy and paste paper  2 from the kit then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Close off the original shape layer then move the paper layer below the gradient and change the blend mode of the gradient layer to Hard light.

On the center green shape go to selections-select all-float-defloat now copy and paste your tube as a new layer and do that until it fills up that shape. Then go to selections-invert and hit delete on each layer of tubes you used. Merge them together and colorize them so they're gray. Change the blend mode to soft light lower the opacity to about 82. Duplicate and change that layer to screen lower the opacity to 40.  Copy and paste the rainbow element in the shape re-size so it fits nicely then change the blend mode to soft light.

Repeat the same steps for the green glitter frame that you did for the gold glitter arch.

On the Shamrocks layer add Xero Fritilary again a setting of your choice.

On the Gonna Catch Me word-art add some noise like you did earlier then a drop shadow of
H 1
V 1
Opacity 50
Blur 5.00
Color Black

Now from the kit open up the pot of gold copy and paste it as a new layer re-size so it fits nicely and move it to the left of the tag add the same drop shadow as you used above.

Open up the stitched clover copy and paste it as a new layer move it so its on the pot of gold but re-size it so it fits there nicely and arrange it to your liking. Then change the blend mode to soft light.

Open up the hat copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely mirror it and arrange it so it sits on top of the pot of gold. Add the same drop shadow.

Open up clover leaf 1 element copy and paste it as a new layer mirror it and re-size it so it fits nicely at the bottom right of the tag.

I also added print 1 and 2 under the whole template. Print 2 I arranged so it showed at the top then duplicated it and arranged so it showed at the bottom.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer then duplicate it change the blend mode to soft light then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3. Add the same drop shadow you used throughout the tutorial to the bottom tube layer.

Now in a font and color of choice type out your name then convert to raster. Then go to selections-select all-float-defloat-modify-expand by 2 add a new layer and flood fill with a color of choice. Move that layer below the original text layer and add some noise and a drop shadow. Same settings for both used in the tutorial.

Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow.

Ready?
Let's get started!

Open up a 700x700 canvas we can always re-size/crop later.
I like my tags BIG LOL.

Open up frame 2 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas. Open up paper 9 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer below the frame. Re-size it so it fits nicely and if any hangs over the frame use your eraser tool and erase what does. Copy and paste the closeup of the tube if you have one mirror it and place it below the frame layer as well. Repeat the eraser tool steps with the tube layer. Once you're done with that duplicate the tube layer change both tube layers blend mode to soft light.

Open up the leaf circle element copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely arrange it to your liking. This layer should be ABOVE the frame layer. I also added the red flowers, the basket ,the first set of mushrooms and the bird, I arranged those to the right side bottom of the frame re-sizing them so they fit nicely.

Open up paper 4 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer below the frame and apply your mask then merge group. Arrange your mask layer to your liking.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer arrange her to your liking then duplicate change the blend mode of the duplicated layer to soft light then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3. Then add a drop shadow on your original tube layer I used
H 1
V 1
Opacity 60
Blur 4.00
Color Black

Add your name in a font and color of choice. I used white for my font color then added some noise and a light gradient glow my settings for the glow are shown in the screen-shot below. Apply the same drop shadow as you used earlier.


Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!

Let's get started!

Open up a 700x700 canvas we can always re-size/crop later.
I like my tags BIG LOL.

Open up frame 1 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas re-size it so it fits nicely. Now create a foreground/background gradient using two colors from your tag add a new layer and flood fill it with your gradient. Take your magic wand and click inside the frame layer then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Move this layer below the frame layer and deslect.

Now take your tube copy and paste it as a new layer arrange it somewhere in the circle duplicate it and arrange it in another spot keep doing this until the circle is covered merge them together JUST them though not everything else. Then take your magic wand and click inside the frame again then go to selections-invert then go to your tubes layer and hit delete. Grey scale this layer and change the blend mode to screen duplicate and change the blend mode to soft light.

Open up the cityscape element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer move it below the frame layer re-size it if you need to and take your eraser tool and erase what might be overhanging.

Open up paper 6 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer move it below your frame then take your magic wand and click inside the frame then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Change the blend mode to soft light.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer mine is only a half tube so what I did was duplicate it and then move that layer below the frame then used my eraser tool on the top tube layer to delete what was showing through. Duplicate the top tube layer then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 5 and change the blend mode to soft light. Repeat these steps for the tube layer below the frame. Then on the very bottom tube layer add a drop shadow of H 2 V 2 Opacity 60 Blur 4.00 Color Black.

Open up the lips element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely and place it where you like.

Open up the sparkle 3 element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it quite a bit so its only on the tube and in the frame then duplicate it.

Open the radio and skull 1 elements from the kit copy and paste them as a new layer re-size them so that they fit nicely. I have one on each side of the tag.

Open up the heart element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely I placed it near the top right of the tag.

Add your name in your font and color of choice then go to selections-select all-float-defloat-modify and expand by 2 add a new layer flood fill it with white or a color of choice then add some noise by going to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise random checked, 36% noise and monochrome checked. DO NOT deslect yet go to modify and expand by 2 again add a new layer and flood fill with the color you used for your name move it below all the name layers and add a drop shadow. I used the same one we did earlier.

Open up paper 3 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer below the frame and everything else then apply your mask and merge group. Arrange it to your liking.

Open up the wire element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it if you need the and move it below the mask layer.

Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!
