Lets Get Started

 Open a new image 750x750 with a transparent background (we will re size later).

1. Open leaves, mirror and resize 90%. Copy and paste as a new layer onto your new canvas. move the leaves over to the right side (we are going to be building a frame out of them). Duplicate your leaves mirror then flip. Duplicate the leaves again and this time rotate 90° to the left, flip and put it at the top of the other leaves. Layers, move down 2 times. Duplicate, flip then mirror. Arrange all leaves layers as in my preview below. Once satisfied,  Layers, Merge visible.



2. Adjust, hue/saturation/ colorize- Hue= 215, Saturation= 90. Image re size (all layers unchecked) 85%. Arrange to the upper right of your canvas.

3. Choose your selection tool set at point to point. Select around the frame as in the preview below. High light the bottom layer. Open up Paper P8, or one of your liking, Copy and paste as a new layer onto your tag image. Ctl+Shift+I (to invert), Press your delete key. Selections Load/Save and save this selection to the alpha channel. Deselect.

4. Open the tube of your choice (if using the same one I am do not resize). Copy and paste as a new layer onto your tag and arrange her inside the frame. Once satisfied Load your saved selection then press the delete key. Deselect, Plugins/xero/porcelain using default settings.

***This part is going to take a little time to tweak to get just the right look. You can follow my instructions below or you can go your own way. Have fun with it :)

5. Open your main tube again and resize to liking (I resized 45%). arrange to the lower left of your tag as in my tag. High light the layer below your tube. Now open the cherry blossom element. Copy and paste as a new layer. Re size 70% arrange under your main tube so that the girls hand looks as if it is on the stem. Once happy with the position, Duplicate the cherry blossom element and move it to the right so that it looks as if the girl is sitting on a limb. Once satisfied, layers merge and merge down (just the 2 blossom layers are to be merged). Layers duplicate mirror and arrange to liking then merge your layers down once more.

6.  Making sure that you are on your cherry blossom layer, open the cat element. Copy and paste as a new layer and re size 55% and arrange under the feet of your tube or to liking.

7. High light your very top layer. Open the chain element and copy and paste as a new layer onto your tag image. Mirror and re size 70% arrange in the upper right as you see it in my tag.

8.Open the teddy element, copy and paste as a new layer onto your tag image, re size 50% and arrange to your liking.

9. High light your bottom layer then go to image, canvas size and change the width to 800 and height to 850, centered. (Dont worry we will resize later). Open Paper P5 or paper of choice. If using the same paper as I am go to Adjust, hue and saturation and change settings = Hue= 180, Saturation= 80. Layers, new mask layer, WSL_mask4, invert  unchecked, apply. Layers, merge, merge group. Resize 70% and arrange in the upper right. Duplicate, image mirror, arrange to liking. Layers merge down. Duplicate, Image-flip and push it up some. When you are satisfied with the look Merge down and sharpen once.

10. Open the decor element and re size 95%. Copy and paste as a new layer onto your tag image. Arrange in the upper right of your tag (see mine for reference). Move this layer down so that it is on top of the mask layer but below all other layers, duplicate, image mirror. Layers , merge down, Duplicate, image flip and move it up some. Once satisfied, layers, merge, merge down.

11. High light your rose frame layer, Open the sparkles element and copy and paste as a new layer, move it to the top to your liking. Duplicate and then flip and move down a little.

12. High light your very top layer, Open the Butterfly element. Resize to liking and place in various different areas of your tag. Add your favorite drop shadow to all of your layers excluding the mask and sparkles layer.

13. Once you are satisfied with the look of your tag, add your name and copyright information and export as your favorite image format.
