CRM Siggy

Cuddly Rigor Mortis Winter Siggy

You will need:

Photo editing software.  I used paint.net found HERE
Cuddly Rigor Mortis tube found HERE
 **You MUST purchase a valid license to use this tube**
FTU Winter Frost Scrap kit from Daph's Scrappin' found HERE
Mask number 434 from Vixpsp found HERE

Let's Get Started!

  • Create a new canvas 440 x 440.  This is the canvas for your final product
  • In a separate canvas, open your paper of choice from the kit and apply a mask by going to "Effects", "Object", "Alpha Mask" and then browsing for your saved mask.
  • Crop and resize mask to 80% (Use the "Rotate/Zoom option under "Layers")
  • Copy and paste mask layer into your canvas
  • On your extra canvas, import another paper, than a frame in a separate layer (I used frame 2).
  • Make sure the frame is on a layer above the paper.
  • Using the "Ellipse" select tool, select an area that will fit the inside of your frame
  • Go to "Edit", then choose "Invert selection" and "Erase Selection".  The paper should now only be visible inside the frame.
  • Merge the two layers, then resize to 50%
  • Copy and paste the frame into your canvas
  • Open your tube, resize it to 50%, then copy and paste it into your canvas.
  • Add other desired elements following the same process (import, resize, copy and paste)
  • I used the following elements:
    • swag
    • spruse
    • berrybush
    • poinsettia 3
    • snowflakes 1 & 2
  • Add your name and outline it as you wish by going to "Effects", "Object", "Outline"
  • Add drop shadow to each layer, if desired, by going to "Effects", "Object", "Drop Shadow"
  •  Add your copyright info and license number
  •  Delete the background layer and save
    • I usually save it in pdn format in case I want to edit it later, then I save it in png format
Happy Tagging!
