Tag Freebie and I'm tired

Okay, I'm tired. I stayed up way too late. Even though DS slept until 7, I'm exhausted. I'm really looking forward to a nap this afternoon. I'm so glad Gianni still naps.

My project this morning was to create a tag. I had some great help from some tutorials and Photoshop actions. The tag shape itself was created using Misty Cato's tag tutorial from her blog. You have to scroll down to her 2-12 entry for the directions. They are very easy to follow.

Once, I got the tag shape I used four great actions by Atomic Cupcake: Weathered steel and gemstone which I used to create the star element, and painted edge for the tag base, and vellum for the center paper. It was easy and a lot of fun. If you want to try your hand at creating your own digital materials, I highly recommend Atomic Cupcakes site.

Finally, I used a tutorial by Jamie Rousselle at DSP on how to create the fuzzy fiber. Once I located the dune grass brush, it was super simple!

Here's my finished tag. It's saved in png format. Click here to download or click the preview.
