the background layer, (raster1) select all and open paper4
resize by 35% and c/p as a new layer, invert selections
and hit delete, now go to the dots layer, select all, float
and defloat, add a new raster layer and fill with a color that
matches the kit or colors of your tube you are using, I used
#6b4009, deselect and delete the original dots layer,
now go to your vine layer and do the same as above,
you can use a paper or add a new layer and fill, I used
paper1 from the kit, select none and delete the original layer
now lets go to the box frame 4 layer, select all, float and defloat
invert selection and open paper3 from the kit, resize by 21%
and c/p as a new layer, hit delete, select none and delete
the original layer, do this for that rest of the box frames,
now lets go to the frame layer, select all, float, defloat,and add
a new layer, fill with #6b4009 or a paper of choice, and select none
delete the original layer, now grab your magic wand and click outside
the frame and then invert, go up and crop to selection,
Now on my line's layers, I selected all, floated and then defloat
on line one I added a new layer and filled with #6b4009

I also added a few elements from the kit to my sig tag
I added the bee, I resized it by 12% and then rotated it to
the left by 18% I duplicated and mirrored it, I resized this one
by 80% and then rotated it to the right by 18% I also added

paper layer and resized it by 60% and placed it towards the far
right, Now open the sunflower and c/p as a new layer, again
this is just above the bottom paper layer, resize by 35% and
place to your liking, now I added a bit of noise to my main
frame layer, set to about 50% I did the same on the 2 lines
now add a dropshadow of choice I used a big but light dropshadow
Now add a tube or tubes of choice, merge visible.

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,
it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right

layer and fill with color of choice, resize this layer by
95% and apply a mask of choice, I used Vix_Bigmask008

Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white,
I Like to have room to work, this is your choice,
My tuts are written using this size image

Open pd-pp-04 c/p as a new layer and apply a mask of choice
I used a mask I have called image3-01 have NO idea where I
picked this one up, but any splotchy mask will work

Now lets open pd-frame-02 c/p as a new layer, resize by 90%
rotate to the left by 6% grab your magic wand and click inside
the frame opening, expand by 9 and then invert, open pd-pp-02
c/p as a new layer below the frame and hit delete, now open
pd-frame-05 c/p as a new layer and resize by 80% you will need
to use your free hand selection tool to draw around the frame
invert, Now depending on the tag you make, In one example
I am using a picture, you can just c/p this as a new layer below
your frame, if you are using a tube, add a paper of choice, and
hit delete, select none. Now open pd-wire-01 c/p as a new layer
place this between the top frame and bottom frame layers
resize by 90%, Now lets open pd-fence2 c/p as a new layer
arrange to right above the mask layer and move it up and
to the right a bit, Now open pd-splatter-02 c/p as a new layer
bring to the top and resize by 65%, now rotate to the left by 45%
now open pd-wire-02 c/p as a new layer, now lets open pd-nut
c/p as a new layer, arrange to your liking, I duplicated mine
and placed one in the top right corner of my frame and on
with the wire at the bottom of the frame, now open pd-screw
c/p as a new layer, rotate to the right by 10. Now open pd-wrench
c/p as a new layer and rotate to the right by 10% now on the
elias example I added pd-sign and resized it by 70% and then
rotated to the left by 6% add a dropshadow of choice to your
elements, the frame with the broken glass does not get a drop
shadow, hide the white background layer and merge visible.

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,

grab the dropper and grab the lightest color off the balloon, and then
change the bottom box to color of choice, Now lets open paper-heart

a bit smaller work area, this is your choice if you want
to make a larger tag.

Open pd-pp-10 c/p as a new layer and apply a mask of choice
I used 298 Insatiable Dreams mask using the manual
correction tool I changed the color to a blue to match the
tape I will be adding,

Now lets open pd-frame-02 c/p as a new layer
resize this by 80% , grab your freehand selection tool
and go around the inside of the frame making sure
that when you add your paper that the edges will be
hidden by the frame, open pd-pp-05 c/p as a new
layer below the frame, and hit delete, leave selected
and then open pd-pp-09 c/p as a new layer right above
this paper and hit delete, change the blend mode on
this layer to luminance (L) now select none open
pd-tape-02 c/p as a new layer, resize by 60% and
then rotate to the left by 20% and place near the
top left of your frame, now duplicate, flip and mirror
placing at the bottom right of the frame, (making sure
this piece of tape stays the top layer)
open pd-ribbon-01 c/p as a new layer, place near
the bottom of the frame,resize by 75% and then
rotate to the right by 10% now open pd-string c/p
as a new layer, flip and then resize by 75% place with
your ribbon, Now open pd-print-04 c/p as a new layer,
arrange to right above your mask layer, arrange it towards
the top, now duplicate, mirror and then flip, arrange this
towards the bottom of the frame, I duplicated mine again
this time I used the manual correction tool to change the
color to match the piece of tape

I duplicated so I have 3 of these in the blue, The one
in the middle I used gamma correction to darken it just
a bit, Now open pd-stars-01 c/p as a new layer, arrange
to right above the mask layer, and place towards the left
of the frame, duplicate and mirror, Now add a dropshadow
and tube of choice, hide the white background layer and
merge visible.(I did not dropshadow the stars layers)

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,

Please do not copy my tutorials to anyplace, please link back to my blog!

Open your template and duplicate, close the original, Now you work
with this template how you like, some do it different then others, In
my tut I will tell you what I used on each layer, I select all float and
defloat, sometimes you need to smooth the layer a bit due to jaggedy's
I also increased the canvas size to 750x750 and refilled the white layer
to have room to work.

Delete the copyright layer and go to your Effect layer,select and open
SD-Gemini-paper026 working how you feel more comfortable with
templetes add this paper as a new layer hit delete and select none now
delete the original layer. I turned the opacity down to around 50%
Now go to the small rectangles layer and select
Now open SD-Gemini-paper010 resize by 56% and c/p as a new layer,
select none and delete the original layer, Now lets go to the large circle
layer and select, open SD-Gemini-paper001 resize by 56% and c/p as
a new layer, hit delete and select none, now go up to effects and then
go to texture effects and blinds use the setting below

Now you can change your circle frame colors by using the manaul color
correction tool or you can leave it like it is, On example I changed it on the
other I left them. Now go to Now for your 3 circles on the right I used
the same paper in each. I used SD-Gemini-paper026 again this time I
resized it by 56% c/p as a new layer select none and delete the original
layer. Now lets go to the doodle layer, I used the manual correction tool
to change the color of this, using the setting below, you can play with
this to get your desired effect

Now lets add a few elements to our tag, Open SD-Gemini-element006
c/p as a new layer and bring this to the top, resize by 80% and place
towards the right of the big frame, Now lets open SD-Gemini-element028
c/p as a new layer, resize this by 30% and arrange this layer to below
your 3 circles on the right, and near the top, Duplicate, mirror and flip
place this one near the bottom left of the frame. Now lets open
SD-Gemini-element053 and c/p as a new layer, resize by 48% and
place with your paper star, now open SD-Gemin-element072 c/p as a new
layer and resize by 48% and place with your flower and star, when you
are happy with your tag add a gradient glow of choice to your frame
layers and the doodle, and 3 rectangle layers, and then a dropshadow
of choice to all but your Effect layer, now add a tube or tubes of choice
hide the white background layer and merge visible.
