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 RYoung_SummerSlushee_Paper6 resize by 17%
and c/p as a new layer, apply a mask of choice, I used
a mask called B-edgemask1 I have no idea where I aquired
this mask but any square mask will work

Now open RYoung_SummerSlushee_PhotoMat and c/p as a new
layer, resize this by 35% now grab your freehand selection tool
and draw out a rectangle about the size of your mask, go up to
selections and feather about 20%, now invert and hit delete a couple
times, now select none, I turned the blend mode to overlay on this
layer, now lets open RYoung_SummerSlushee_beadspill and c/p
as a new layer, resize this by 35% arrange towards the bottom
right of the mask area, now open RYoung_SummerSlushee_leafframe
c/p as a new layer and resize this by 18% now rotate to the left
by 9% grab your magic wand and click inside the frame opening
expand by 9% and then invert, now lets open
RYoung_SummerSlushee_Paper3 resize this by 17%
(or a paper of your choice) and c/p as a new layer below the
frame and hit delete, select none, Now lets open
RYoung_SummerSlushee_ribbon4 c/p as a new layer
resize by 16% now arrange this layer to right above the
photomap layer, flip and then mirror this, arrange so it shows
towards the left of the frame, I also rotated this to the right by 6%
Now lets open RYoung_SummerSlushee_paperleaf, c/p as a new
layer and bring this to the top, resize by 10% and then mirror this
arrange towards the bottom left of the frame,now lets open
RYoung_SummerSlushee_flower c/p as a new layer and resize this
by 12% and place with your leaf, now lets open
RYoung_SummerSlushee_buttonflower and c/p as a new layer
resize this by 25% and place in the center of the other flower,
now lets open RYoung_SummerSlushee_ribbon_5 c/p as a new
layer, arrange this layer to right above the frame layer, resize by
35% and then rotate to the right by 15% place so it hangs
our below the flowers, now add a dropshadow of choice to your
elements, and a tube or tubes 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
