none, now open pd12-flower-03 c/p as a new layer

the bottom of the frame, duplicate and resize this by
70% (I used gamma correction to brighten it up a bit)
I then rotated it right by 12% I duplicated and flipped this
arranging all together along the bottom of the frame,
now open pd12-leaf-01 c/p as a new layer, resize by
68% arrange towards the left of the frame and right

a small cluster, now open pd12-flower-04 c/p as a

this one near the bottom right, now add a new layer
right above the mask layer and apply some brushes of
choice, I used tribal/tattoo brushes I have (which I love
because I have a tribal tatt myself). now add
a dropshadow and tube of choice, I used a close up
and then changed the blend mode to soft light right
above my paper fill layer, 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
