- Tiny D's Happy Spookoween -kit, which you can purchase here
- My Template #3 which you can download here
- Font of your choice (I used Gigi)
Let's start!
- Open my template.
- Copy a yellow or orange paper (pp25) from the kit and highlight the circle layer.
Selection - Selection all - Selection free - Selection not free.
Expand the selection about 1px.
Paste your paper into the selection.
Selection none.
Add a dropshadow to this layer.
- Repeat the above mentioned step with your stars (I used 3 different violet paper), the rectancle and the frame inlay (I used black ones).
Repeat this step also with the frame-layer (I used a green paper) but don't add a dropshadow.
- Highlight the frame layer and with your magic-wand click inside of the first rectangle of the frame and expand the selection about 1 px.
Resize and copy a monster or trickster from the kit.
Paste it to your canvas and move this layer under the frame layer.
Postion it that the head is in the frame.
Selection invert and hit delete.
(See my tag for help)
- Repeat this step above with the other parts of the frame.
- Add a dropshadow to your frame layer.
- Copy and paste two (or more) ghosts from the kit, resize and dropshadow them.
Move one to the left and the other one to the right side.
- Copy and paste a lollipop from the kit, resize it very small and dropshadow it.
Move it on the last frame to the right and rotate it a bit.
Duplicate this layer and mirror it.
Move it to the first frame to the left side.
- Highlight the background layer.
Copy and paste one of the glitter splashes and move it to the top.
Copy and paste the other glitter splash, mirror it and move it a bit to the ground.
- Choose your font and write your name.
Dropshadow it.
- At least you just have to add copyright-infos and/or watermark and save as.
Easy, or?
