Ya ready? Here we go...

Open a canvas, 700x700 pixels, flood fill white.

Open RR_Paper5. Center on canvas.

Open RR_Frames2. Center and resize.

Now go grab a soft eraser and erase Paper5 on the edges

to create a soft border around Frames2.

Open your tube and center it in the frame.

With this tube, I had to do some erasing of the frame.

Here's a tip for easy erasing:

After placing your tube in the frame, duplicate the frame.

Move the copied frame layer above your tube.

Make sure the copied frame layer is highlighted.

Now go ahead and erase where your tube is overlapping the frame.

That's it! Easy, huh? LOL!

Open RR_Feather1.

Place behind your tube.

Rotate the feather, angling the tip toward the upper right of your tag.

Place it so the edges show past the edge of the frame.

Now we'll place some elements on top of your tube

But underneath the copied frame layer.

The easiest way to do this is to click on your tube layer.

We'll build your tag from here.

(For the rest of your tag,

Resize the elements to fit your siggy as you go along.)

Open RR_Banger.

Center this below the flowers on the the frame.

Open RR_Candle1.

Center this at the bottom of the frame, in the middle.

Open RR_Corset and place in the lower left corner.

Time to grab the eraser!

Click on the copied frame layer.

Erase the portion of the frame that runs up and down

covering the corset.

Be sure not to erase the corner itself or the flowers of the frame.

Click on the corset layer.

Open RR_Feather2.

Place in lower right corner.

Open RR_Flower6.

Place in lower right corner.

Open RR_Flower4.

Duplicate this layer and place the copy below Flower6.

Move this slightly up and toward the left.

Open RR_Butterfly2.

Place the butterfly by the flowers in the lower right corner.

Now click on the copied frame layer.

Open RR_Beadstring.

Resize and place in upper left corner of frame.

Open RR_Bow3.

Resize and place on top of Beadstring.

Place a drop shadow on all layers

EXCEPT for your copied frame layer.

Make a new layer.

Using your font of choice, type your name.

I used the eye dropper tool for color.

Click on the corset to choose the color.

I used Stroke, white, outside, 2.

Resize your tag to the size you want.

MOST IMPORTANT!!

You must now do this:

Put the artist's name, website, and your license number

of the tube you used on the siggy!!

Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.

Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.

Save as PSD. Save as PNG.

YOU'RE DONE!

I hope you had fun with this tut!

HUGS!
