Template Harvest Moon by Sabre. You can download it HERE

FTU Scrapkit Halloween Delight by Sabre. You can download it HERE

Note: This kit doesn’t contain a lot of paper choices, so when filling my template I used patterns & gradients.. or use papers from another kit..
Lets Get Started.
The drop shadow I used was 2,2,50,5 color black. Give each layer a drop shadow as you go along.
1. Open your template and shift D to duplicate then close original

2. Delete the designers name layer

3. Start at the bottom and use your magic wand to select the first layer to fill. Flood fill with color or paper of choice. Once filled go to selections, select none and move to next layer.

4. Sometimes when you have layers like the reeds, dots, ect…Instead of using the magic wand I go to Selections, Select all, Float, Selections Defloat, Flood Fill and then Selections none.

5. Repeat these steps until all layers of template are filled and have drop shadow added.

6. I erased the apple.

7. Open your kit and open each element you want added to your tag. Once opened, you can simply drag and drop onto your tag as a new layer.

8. Use pick tool to resize to suit yourself. Give each element a dropshadow.

9. Open image of choice and copy/paste as new layer. Give dropshadow.

10. Save a psp image with all layers intact.

11. Hide the white background layer

12. Go to edit, copy merged, edit, paste as new image. Hit selection tool to select your tag area and go to edit, copy and edit paste as new image. Delete the first copy.

13. Image, Resize 500 x 319

14. Add your credits

15. Save as PNG file.
