**************************************
Lets Get Started

1. Open Frame 2, duplicate and close the original.

2. Go to plugins, adjust-Variations and click on lighter 5x to lighten your frame.

3. Image-resize 80%, All layers unchecked.

4. Open the paper of choice. (I am using paper 8). On your material palette change your foreground to pattern and choose you paper you just opened. Angle-0, Scale-100. Click Ok.

5. Go to layers-new raster layer, Layers arrange, move to bottom and flood fill this layer with your foreground pattern.

6. Go to Layers, load/save from disk and load mask: sg_floral-grungeframe7, source luminance ticked, fit to layer ticked, invert transparency ticked, and show all mask click load. Layers-Merge group.

7. High light your frame layer which should be your top layer. Choose your deform tool and pull the nodes out (stretch) just past the outside edges of the mask to cover them. You want to be able to see the geometric effect of the mask. See image below.

8. Add a drop shadow to your frame. I used V&H: 3, Opacity: 30 and Blur: 10.

9. High light your mask layer (bottom layer). Now open the raindrops element, copy and back on your working image paste as a new layer. Image, resize 80% making sure all layers is not checked. Click ok. Move it up at t he edge (see my tag) Add the same drop shadow.

10. Making sure you are on the top layer again (the frame layer) Open the square beaded frame. Copy and paste as a new layer on your working image.
11. Again using the deform tool stretch this out so that it is around your frame and again see my tag for placement. Adjust-sharpen-sharpen and add the same drop shadow. Move to the top

12. Open flower 11, copy and paste as a new layer on your working image. Image, resize 60% and place to the right of frame and apply the same drop shadow.

13. Duplicate this flower layer and resize 50%. Image, rotate, free 15% to the right. Arrange as in my tag. Duplicate and Image, Flip.
14. Layers, merge, merge down and repeat this once more (this is merging all the flowers).

15.Open the heart 3 element. Copy and paste as a new layer on your working image. Image resize 30%. Place in on the bottom right over top of the large flower stem. Apply same drop shadow.

16. Duplicate this heart layer. Image resize 80%, Image mirror and place it next to and slightly above the first heart.

17. Open the design ribbon element. Copy and paste as a new layer on working image. Image resize 50% and place down near the bottom of the frame and move the layer down below your calla flowers layer. Again apply the same drop shadow. 

18. High light the top layer again. Open bow 6. Copy and paste as a new layer on your working image. Image, mirror. Image resize 30%. Image rotate-free rotate 15% to the left. Apply the same drop shadow.

19. Open the two tone butterfly element. Copy and paste as a new layer on your working image. Resize the butterfly as  needed to place in a variety of places on your tag. You can see my tag for placement. Apply the same drop shadow to each butterfly you place. 

20. Once you are happy with the placement of your butterflies and have everything the way you like it, go to image, resize 80% ALL layers checked this time.

21. Open the main tube that you want placed on your tag. Copy and paste as a new layer and move it down below the ribbon layer and resize as needed. Give your tube a nice drop shadow. 

22. Your tag may be too large for you so this is the time to resize it to your liking. When you do resize make sure that ALL layers is checked. 

23. Add your name and copyright information and then merge all layers together. I save my tags as a png with a transparent background so I merge them visible then export as a png. Save your tag however you wish.
