Open a new image 650x650 and flood fill white,
I am trying to make my tags smaller so I am going to start with
a bit smaller work area, this is your choice if you want
to make a larger tag.

Open paper1 and c/p as a new layer, apply a mask of choice
I used DBV_mask 107

Now open frame4 c/p as a new layer and resize by 90%
grab your magic wand and click inside the frame opening
expand by 5 and invert, now open paper2 c/p as a new
layer below the frame layer and hit delete, leave selected
now open the colored pencils and c/p as a new layer, move
this towards the bottom of the paper and hit delete, select none
I changed the opacity on this layer to 36% on my tag.
now open beadscatter2 c/p as a new layer, arrange to right
above the mask layer and resize by 50% move it up and
to the right, now duplicate, flip and mirror, now lets open
ribbon4 c/p as a new layer and resize by 80% and then
flip it, arrange along the bottom of the frame, now open
ribbon 5 and c/p as a new layer, and resize by 72% place
with the other ribbon, now open glassofcoloredpencils c/p
as a new layer and resize by 70% place towards the bottom
right of the frame, now open paintcans and c/p as a new
layer, mirror and resize by 45% and place with your glass
now open the mushroom, c/p as a new layer and resize
by 35% and place this layer below the paint cans layer
and with the glass as well, now open paperstar, c/p as
a new layer and resize by 45% and then rotate to the
left by 26% now open the tab and c/p as a new layer and
resize by 70% and place on the star, when you are happy
with your tag, add a dropshadow of choice and a tube of
choice, hide the white background layer and merge visible.

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,
it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right
information and Save the way you prefer to save tags,

I hope you enjoyed this tut
