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 sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_pp3 c/p as a new layer
add a mask of choice, I used a mask that I have in
my folder that just has numbers, I have NO idea who
made this mask or where to get it, but any "splashy" edge
mask will work great on this tut.

Now open sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_frame1 c/p as a new
layer, rotate to the left by 6 now grab your magic wand
(I leave mine set on outside btw) click outside the frame
and inside the frame opening, open sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_pp5
c/p ad a new layer below the frame and hit delete, select none.
I merged the two together at this point, now click inside your
frame opening again, and expand by 9, invert, and open
sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_pp2 c/p as a new layer below the
frame, hit delete, leave selected, now lets open
sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_waves, c/p as a new layer
place to your liking and hit delete, select none, now on
my tag, I went back to the paper fill layer, and selected
with the lasso tool, the area showing below the waves,
promoted it to a new layer, and changed the color of the
paper to match the lightest blue of the waves, (using the
manual color correction tool) now lets open
sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_seaweed c/p as a new layer, bring
to the top and resize by 56% I duplicated, mirrored and
also erased a little of the seaweed and placed this layer right
above the mask layer, now open sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_rickrac2
c/p as a new layer, I used the gamma correction tool
to lighten it a bit, now open sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_rickrac1
c/p as a new layer, place this right above the mask layer
and rotate to the left by 42%, now lets open
sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_crab c/p as a new layer and resize
by 56% and then rotate to the right by 6 place to your
liking, now open sb_pmt_whale-of-a-tale_whale, c/p as a
new layer, resize by 56% and place to your liking, when
you are happy with your tag, add a dropshadow and tube
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
