Part Two

  • 15. Highlite the Circle Layer. Open the MyLilAngelz heart accent tube


    Copy and paste as new layer as shown in example, move to position, resize if necessary, colourize to suit, and add drop shadow of choice


  • 16. Still on the MyLilAngelz accent layer go to Selections/Float
    Then, back to Selections/Defloat


    Selections/Modify/Contract and contract 10


    now duplicate this twice giving 3 heart accent layers


  • 17. Highlight the original heart accent layer
    Go to Effects/plugins/Alien Skin Xenofex2/Constellation


    tick original image box and use following settings
    3.00, 10, 10, 10, 90, 55 - twinkle 45 - seed 8811


    Highlight the first duplicate and go to Effects/Constellation, keeping all settings except this time hit Random Seed


    Highlight the second duplicate layer and go to Effects/Constellation, hit random speed yet again. Select None


You now will have
1 white rastor layer – this is the bottom layer
1 mask layer
1 mask layer
1 tubelayer
1 circle frame
1 heart accent layer
1 duplicate heart accent
2nd duplicate heart accent
1 tube layer duplicate


Okay take a breathe and off we go again

  • 18. find your top tube layer (the duplicate layer) and add a rastor layer directly on top
    choose a contrast colour in the materials palette - any colour will do as we will be deleting this later


    go to your paint brush and choose the small round dot brush, size 5


    Next, choose an area on your tube that you would like to see with some glitter (noise) - a small delicate area
    In my examples I have chosen the stars on the purple tag (see purple sample here), and chose the pendant and lace on the blue tag (see top of page)


    On the blank layer directly on top of the tube layer You are going to paint tiny dots.
    Note: I always enlarge the image - Sometimes up to 300%
    Then carefully dab the paintbrush onto the areas You wish to add the noise to
    Do it slowly and be delicate. Remember it takes practice And you can always hit the undo and do it Again


    Okay once your happy Return the tag to original size
    At this moment you may think it looks very odd but soon you will see why we have done this

    Now go to selection tool Retangle, Mode/replace, Feather/ 0, antialias not checked
    Draw a square around all of your painted dabs


    Click inside the square And you will then have marching ants around your paint dabs
    Over on your layer palette you will see the layer Is now a Floating Selection


    Now over on your layer palette Click on the TUBE LAYER
    You must check you have the tube layer highlighted
    Then duplicate the tube layer twice


    Go back to original tube layer
    Go to Adjust/Add Remove Noise/Add Noise using these settings: Random, Monochrome, 70


    Highlight tube duplicate layer Go to Adjust/Add Remove Noise/Add Noise using these settings: Random, Monochrome, 75


    Highlight tube duplicate layer Go to Adjust/Add Remove Noise/Add Noise using these settings: Random, Monochrome, 80
    Then select none


    Highlight the paintbrush layer and Delete it - Layers/Delete


You will now have
1 white rastor layer – this is the bottom layer
1 mask layer
1 mask layer
1 tubelayer
1 circle frame
1 heart accent layer
1 duplicate heart accent
2nd duplicate heart accent
1 tube layer duplicate
1 tube layer duplicate
1 tube layer duplicate




Okay now grab a coffee because we have more to go and remember to save your work
