5 new tags

Posted on by ModGirl

I’m on a roll, lol. 5 new tags. Can you believe it? Wowser’s, lol. And not only am I creating new tags, I’m also creating new graphics to use in those tags too. And I am quite pleased with the way the tags have turned out. I will post previews of them all below and btw, all these tags will be sent to members of my tag group in the future.

This first tag was created using one of the Pinup Construction graphics And all the background images were downloaded from the paid subscription site where I am a member. All the graphics downloaded can be used for commercial use as long as they are not shared in their original form. However, I did create the word art myself, lol.

This second tag was created using one of the Dark and Moody Ladies I created awhile ago. Some of the other images I used are from my tagger kit called “Mocha”.

This third tag was created using one of the images from my set of Pinup Teacher graphics. I also used a couple mice from the paid subscription site I was telling you about. I really love how this tag turned out and I had a lot of fun writing all the funny things on the school black board, lol.

This fourth tag was created using one of the images from my Garden Girls graphics. This tag was a lot of fun to make and I think it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself, lol.

And finally this last tag was created using one of the images from my Quirky Dogs graphics. I really love this tag and how it turned out. The shoes were created by yours truly, lol and I also made the word art myself by picking colors from the background. And the rest of the images I used were from a few of my tagger kits with an Autumn theme.

3 new tags

Posted on by ModGirl

Yesterday when trying to decide what to do next I thought I would make a new tag. Well, that changed from me making 1 tag to 3. Most of the time when I start making a tag I will stop after making that one, but for some reason I knew exactly what tags I wanted to make and with what graphics too. I had been looking through all the graphics that I had recently made and came across a few that I thought would make some great looking tags.

Now, one of the graphics needed to have the background removed and so I decided to send it through the AI background remover generator. Well, it did a really crappy job of removing the background so I ended up having to do it myself and I’m pretty happy with the result. It was a really pretty fairy and everything was great except for her feet because they had some flowers sticking on top of them and after removing the flowers the feet came out kind of choppy looking, so instead of trying to paint her feet back on, I decided to place another flower over them in the tag and it worked out okay, even though you can still see her feet, lol.

I think that’s one of the things we always overlook when creating with graphics sometimes. Instead of trying so hard to fix the graphic (which doesn’t always work out like we planned) we can just place something on top of it which is a really quick fix. Anyway, that’s what I decided to do and it looks just fine IMHO.

So, this first tag was created using 2 graphics that I made. A few years ago I made a tag that I really liked using a PTU artist tube and wanted to see if I could make something similar with the same theme. So, that’s what I did and I really like how it turned out. Of course it’s a rather simple looking tag but I do like the simplicity of it. It showcases the graphics and that was what I was going for anyway, lol.

Now, this second tag was using the fairy graphic I made and the one I told you about in the paragraph above. I really like how this tag turned out and even though it wasn’t easy getting the background removed from her, I think it turned out alright in the end.

And finally this last tag was created using 3 of the fashion ladies I mentioned in a prior post about the platinum blonde hair fashion graphics. Now, I wanted to use only 1 graphic but couldn’t decide which one I liked the best so instead of choosing only one I thought, why not just use all 3 of them?

So, that’s what I did and I really love how it turned out. I was smart enough when I was creating these graphics to use a white background so I could remove it more easily later when making a new tag. I only wish I would have thought about that when I was making all those fairy graphics, lol. Oh well.

About Fonts

Posted on by ModGirl

When creating tags I always make sure to use the right font. Now, this can be tricky at times when you have a rather large assortment of fonts to choose from. As a retired web designer / graphic artist, I have collected many font’s over the years either by purchasing them in bulk for my design work or for everyday use. I have so many fonts in fact that I had to burn some to CD’s because they were using so much space on my computer.

When doing any creative work, I always try to use the best font. Any designer who creates graphics for clients knows that using the best font for your design is critical. And you would think that using a font wouldn’t matter that much, but it DOES. For example, if you were creating some serious art work you wouldn’t want to use a cartoon looking font on it, now would you? Nope, it really does make a difference what font you use.

And if you’re not a designer but enjoy making graphics for others or for yourself and need a good font to use then you’ll be glad to know that there are many places online to download fonts. Here are a few links to font sites that offer free fonts. However, most do come with a terms of use so you may want to be sure to use them accordingly.

Did someone say TAGS?

Posted on by ModGirl

Yup, more tags to show off! Seems like I’m on a streak of making tags lately so why not showcase them here for visitors to see?  A few days ago I was looking through some of the journal papers I made and remembered all the pretty flower themed ones. So, I decided to use a couple of those papers to create some new tags. I think they turned out really nice. And I didn’t feel the need to add a bunch of stuff to the tags like elements from a tag kit or other items. Instead I thought the flowers themselves should take center stage so that’s what I did when creating these 2 tags.

This first tag was created using my orange flower journal paper. I really love the flowers and how they look with this simple design.

This next tag was created using my pink flower journal paper and it was also created with a similar simple design. I love these vintage flowers that I made and they make some really beautiful tags.

Besides these 2 flower tags I am also working on some more fashion tags. I made some really pretty women with platinum blonde hair wearing black and white fashionable clothing so I wanted to make some new tags using those. So far they are tuning out really nice and I can’t wait to make some new tags for my members with them. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl.

Brand New Tags

Posted on by ModGirl

I have some brand new tags to show off today. I just created them so I haven’t had time to add group members names to them just yet but I will do that either later today or sometime tomorrow. I’m in the process right now of resizing some graphics I just created so when I’m done with that, I will get busy with those tags.

This first tag was created using some of my new fashion lady graphics that I recently made. I also created the background images also and the scrapbook pieces (the frames and flowers) are from one of my tagger kits. I really love how this tag turned out and the colors of this tag too.

For this second tag I was thinking more about a country theme so I created a bunch of country themed girls that I could use in making some new tags.  The other images in the tag are from the graphic subscription site where I have a yearly paid subscription. And, I thought the girl went well with the other graphics that I chose to make this tag. I think it turned out pretty good if you ask me.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hugs,
