Open TFTS_bird_cbj c/p as a new layer and resize this by 25% image

mirror and move up and to the right, leaving the end of the branch

BARELY outside the mask area, turn the opacity down on this layer

to 60% now open TFTS_grass_cbj c/p as a new layer and resize this

by now resize this by 40% and place in front of one of the bench legs

duplicate and mirror, turn the opacity down to 60% on both of the

grass layer, now open TFTS_book_cbj c/p as a new layer and resize

open TFTS_yingandyang_cbj c/p as a new layer and resize this by 12% and

place it on your envelope to make it look like it is what closes it,

and rotate this one to the left by 9% I duplicated mine once more and

rotated this one again by 9%, I added a dropshadow to the flowers,

book, envelope umbrella, and my tube, I did not do my bench or

grass, add your tube of choice, right above your grass layers, I also

added "Dear Diary" to my book page using a font set to 10 when you are

happy with your tag 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
