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 PDS_ITL-paper3 c/p as a new layer and resize by
90% apply a mask of choice, I used BD-Mask5 now on some
masks there is a slight edge that I like to take off, so what I did
is grabbed the magic wand clicked outside the heart area, and
inverted, I went to modify feather by 45 and then invert and
hit delete until you are satisfied with your mask, Now open
PDS_ITL-paper8 c/p as a new layer and resize by 90 and
apply WSL_mask173, I duplicated mine and then merged
the two WSL masks, and then used raster deform to stretch
it out a bit,

Now lets open PDS_ITL-scatter2, c/p as a new layer, now open
PDS_ITL-frame4 c/p as a new layer, grab your magic wand
and click inside the openings and expand by 9 and invert,
open PDS_ITL-paper7 c/p as a new layer below the frame
hit delete and select none, now open PDS_ITL-birdbranch c/p
as a new layer arrange along the bottom edge of the frame
Now lets open PDS_ITL-mailbox c/p as a new layer, mirror
and resize by 78% two times and place towards the left of
the frame, now open PDS_ITL-heart1 c/p as a new layer
mirror and resize by 30% I placed mine on the leaf of the branch
I duplicated and mirrored it and then resized this one by 70% and
placed it at the base of the mailbox, Now open PDS_ITL-key
c/p as a new layer, resize by 22% and then rotate to the left
by 36% place across your smaller heart, Now open PDS_ITL-ribbon3
c/p as a new layer place this right above your heart scatter layer
mirror and have the bow peeking out from behind the mailbox
Now open PDS_ITL-ribbon1 c/p as a new layer right above
the scatter layer, I resized mine UP by 120% and placed this
near the bottom of the frame, now add a dropshadow of choice
(the heart scatter has a good shadow already!)
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
