Resize by 70 percent or smaller if you wish. Drag with your mouse to the
top left corner as I have mine.

Grab your tube and copy and paste onto your tag.I had to resize mine

Yours may be different depending on size of your tube. Drag this layer above
your frame layer and place to the right bottom of your tag. See my tag
for reference.

Open element 8 and paste as a new layer on your tag. Drag this layer below your

Right click on the mask layer and choose merge , merge group.

Click your frame layer and give a drop shadow same settings as before changing the color
to black instead of white.

Now add your copyright to your tag so it is clearly visible. I gave mine a gradient glow by
using effects, plugins, eye candy 4000 with glow width of 3.

Add the name in a font of choice and color of choice. Convert to raster. Now
give it a gradient glow of 3 and a light color to match your tag.

Click your window layer and give it a drop shadow of 0,0,100,10,black.

Click on your top layer then add a new layer. add your copyright for your tubes. Make sure it is clearly legible. I sometimes add a gradient glow of 3 to mine by
going effects, plugins, eyecandy 4000 and gradient glow.

Once finished pick a font of your choosing. I used PuppyPooky. Choose a color for the foreground and one for the background to match your tag.
I used a size of 24 on my tag. Type out the name you wish to put on your tag. Move into position where you like it.  I dragged my text layer below the tube layers. Right click and convert to raster.

I then went to effects-edge effects-enhance. Then a drop shadow of 0,-2,100,10,black.

Now you can either save your tag as is or you can continue and do what I did. 
right click on a layer and go merge visible. Then layers, duplicate.
On the bottom layer go effects, plugins, dsb flux bubbles.  My settings were 17,50,50,50. Or you can use your own.
Duplicate this layer and go image mirror. I then gave my frame layer a drop shadow of 0,0,100,10,black.
You can also do these steps before adding the name if you wish to make more than one of the same tag.
Now if you wish for your tag to not have a white background after being saved,
we must crop the tag. 
Click on the crop tool. Drag the box the whole length and width of the tag. Click the green check mark. Do this on each layer.
Now save as a png and you are done.

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own
ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorials
are registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need
A tube of choice.I am using the work of Jose Cano. I purchased this tube when he was with MPT, You must now purchase his work from PTE in order to use it.

Filters: eye candy 4000(optional)

Scrap kit- I am using an awesome kit called Spring Flowers, by Rebellious Scraps, you must purchase this kit here The Creativity Box. You can visit her site here http://rebelliousscraps.blogspot.com

A Note: Anytime you need to resize something,such as an element or paper, you may do it one of two ways. The first method is by going to image-resize. Under pixel dimensions, make sure the drop box says percent, Lock aspect ratio should be checked and all layers unchecked, then change the width and height under the pixel dimensions the percent you think will work. I usually start with about 80 percent. If it is still too big, you can repeat the steps, adjusting the percent if needed. If it is too small you can undo by going to edit undo, and adjust the percent as needed.
The second way to resize something is to grab your pick tool, the little arrow, click on the layer you wish to resize and
as long as you have clicked the pick tool, you should see a type of box around the layer or element or whatever you are resizing.
Grab the box by a corning and drag it to the size you want. Keep in mind that most artisits do not allow you to make the tubes bigger, and be sure to check the tou for scraps as well.

New image-600x600 transparent

Open tree2 and paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Resize it by about 70 percent. Slide it up slightly to the top of your canvas.

Open grass2 and paste as a new layer. Again resize by about 70 percent. Move this layer toward the bottom of your tag.

Open flowers1 and paste as a new layer. Resize by 70 percent, then use the pick tool to make it even smaller. See my tag for about what size or just judge how you think it looks good. Place to the right of the canvas and position them in the grass.

Right click on this layer and duplicate it, then go image mirror. If needed repostion slightly. Duplicate this layer and move it over slightly and down
toward the bottom of the grass. Duplicate one more time and go image mirror. Move this layer right next to the one we just placed. Now it should look
like you have a row of flowers.

Open the garden frog and paste as a new layer. Resize by 70 percent then use the pick tool to make it smaller. Place to the left of your tag at the end
of the grass.

Paste your tube as a new layer and resize as needed. Position how I have mine if it is laying, or how you think it looks best if it is standing or sitting.
Now we are going to make it look like she is laying in the grass.

Duplicate your grass layer and move above your tube layer by dragging it in the layer palette. Use the pick tool to resize it to about half the size it is.
Duplicate it and go image mirror. Duplicate it one more time and position in the center of the two we just placed. See my tag for how it should look.

Paste flower5 as a new layer and resize by about 70 percent, then resize as needed with the pick tool. Position to the bottom right of the tag.
Duplicate and mirror this layer and position if needed.

Paste flower4 as a new layer and resize as you did the other flowers. Position in the bottom center of the tag.

Open the hanging birdhouse and paste as a new layer. Resize by about 50 percent, then resize it smaller with the pick tool. Position it to the left of the tree so it appears to be hanging off one of the branches. See my tag to get an idea of how it should look.

Open one of the birds, I used number 4, and paste as a new layer. Resize it with the pick tool. I had to go to image mirror for mine, and positon so it looks
like it is sitting on the birdhouse in some way.

Open all three lanterns. Paste one of them as a new layer. Resize it with the pick tool. Position so it looks as though it is hanging on the right side of the tree. Zoom in a few times, i went to 250 percent, and grab your eraser tool with a size of four. Erase only the part of one side of the handle that is on the branch. This will make it look more like it is actually hanging. Zoom back out when your are done. Repeat these steps for the remaing lanterns.

Paste the dandelions as a new layer. Resize by about 70 percent and place to one side of your tag. Duplicate and mirror this layer.
If you want, grab the eraser tool with a size about 15 and erase the parts of the dandelions that are on the body of your tube.

Open the rainbow and paste as a new layer. Resize by about 70 percent. I mirrored mine and placed it to the top right of the tag. move this layer below your tree layer.

Get one of the clouds and paste as a new layer. Resize aobut 70 percent and place so the end of the cloud is at the end of the rainbow. I then duplicated the cloud and made it smaller and placed it at the top left of the tag.

The last thing I did was I pasted another bird and resized it, then positioned it on the right branch of the tree.

Now is the time if you wish to resize your entire tag to do so. Go to image resize, make sure all layers and lock aspect ratio is checked, use pixels and choose the size you want.

Add the copyright so it is clearly visible. Add your name. I added a gradient glow of 3 to mine with eye candy 4000. Add a drop shadow of choice. Now double click the layer in the layer palette and change the blend mode to luminance legacy and lower the opacity to 70.

Thats it save and you are done.

Now none of your paper should be stickingout of the frame.

Open flower1 and paste as a new layer. Again resize by 35 percent twice. Then use the pick tool to adjust the size by dragging only one corner till its the size you want. You can use my tag as a guide for the size. Move the flower toward the bottom right side of the frameand position so its half on and half off the frame. Now drag this layer below the frame and paper layers.

Duplicate this layer four times so you end up with a total of five. arrange them in a line going up the side of the frame.

All your flowers should now be on one layer.Unhide your paper and frame layer now.

Grab your eraser tool and erase bits of the stem and leaves that show on the frameto make look like the rose is coming out from under the frame. see my tag for reference.

Duplicate this key layer and go image mirror, and move it below the stitched heart layer.

Open tag 2 and paste as a new layer. Resize twice by 35 percent, then make a little smaller using the pick tool. Position this to the right bottom corner of the tag and slightly rotate it to the right. See my tag for reference. This layer should be above your key layer. I then chose to slightly adjust the color of it by going to adjust, hue/saturation/lightness, colorize is checked, hue is 360, saturation 100, lightness is -6.I then went effects, edge effects, enhance.

Now is the time if you wish to resize your entire tag to do so. Go to image resize, choose pixels instead of percent, lock aspect ratio and all layers checked, choose the size you want and hit ok.

Add your copyright so it is clearly legible. Add your name in a font and color of choice. I then gave my name a gradient glow with the same settings as before. Give it a drop shadow of choice.

Save and you are done.

This Tutorial was written by me, Angel Flower, from my own ideas. Any similarities to others is coincedence. All my tutorials
are registered with TWI.

For this tutorial you will need
A tube of choice.I am using the work of Barbara Jensen. In order to use the image in this tutorial you MUST purchase it from http://www.eroticartistgallery.com/
Filters: Xero radiance, Eyecandy 4000 gradient glow(optional)

Scrap kit- I am using an awesome kit called Blue Valentine, by Wacky Winnie Designz. you must purchase this kit from The Creativity Box. You can visit her site here http://www.wackywinniedesignz.blogspot.com/

A Note: Anytime you need to resize something,such as an element or paper, you may do it one of two ways. The first method is by going to image-resize. Under pixel dimensions, make sure the drop box says percent, Lock aspect ratio should be checked and all layers unchecked, then change the width and height under the pixel dimensions the percent you think will work. I usually start with about 80 percent. If it is still too big, you can repeat the steps, adjusting the percent if needed. If it is too small you can undo by going to edit undo, and adjust the percent as needed.
The second way to resize something is to grab your pick tool, the little arrow, click on the layer you wish to resize and as long as you have clicked the pick tool, you should see a type of box around the layer or element or whatever you are resizing.
Grab the box by a corning and drag it to the size you want. Keep in mind that most artisits do not allow you to make the tubes bigger, and be sure to check the tou for scraps as well.

New image-600x600 transparent

Copy and paste frame1 as a new layer. Resize it twice by 75 percent.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer, I used paper2. Move this layer below the frame layer. Grab your magic wand tool mode is add, match mode is rgb, tolerance 20, contiguous and anti alias checked. Make your frame layer active and click inside the center of it. Selections-modify-expand by about 6. Make your paper layer active and go selections-invert and hit delete on your keyboard. You should now only have paper showing through the frame.

Paste your tube as a new layer. Move this layer below the frame layer. Position it so the part you want shows through the frame.
Grab your magic wand and make your frame layer active. Click in the center of the frame. Once you have the dancing ants go to selections modify expand by 1. Go back to your tube layer and go selections invert. Hit delete on your keyboard. Select none

Still on your tube layer, go to effects-plugins-Xero radiance-Strangeness 128,Charm 50,Truth 128, Beauty 185

Copy and paste Gerber1 as a new layer. Resize it as needed and rotate it slightly using the pick tool and position how u like on the top left corner/side of the frame.

Paste your tube again as a new layer. Resize if needed. Position how u like on the tag. I went to image mirror on mine and placed it toward the bottom of my frame.

Copy and paste rose2 as a new layer. Resize it how you like. Move this layer below your tube layer. Position to the right side of the frame and use the pick tool to rotate it slightly so the stem is on the frame but under your tube. See my tag for how it should look. Once happy, duplicate your rose and resize the duplicate so it is a little smaller and position like mine or how you like.

Give each rose layer a drop shadow by going effects-3d effects, drop shadow. I used 0,0,100,10 black. Also give your other flower layer a drop shadow, I used 0,0,80,5 black for that one.

Give your main tube a drop shadow, I used -3,2,60,10,black.

I then opened the stars1 and pasted it as a new layer. I moved the layer to the bottom of my tag and resized it twice by 75 percent, then adjusted it how
i wanted with the pick tool.

One last thing i added was the little bag 1. I resized it so it was small and moved it below my tube layer so it looks as though its under her hands.

Now is the time if you wish to resize your entire tag to do so. Go to image resize- make sure all layers and lock aspect ratio are checked, choose pixels
instead of percent and make it the size u want.

Add your copyright so it is clearly visible. Add your name in a font and color of choice. I added a gradient glow to mine using eye candy 4000. I then added a
drop shadow.

Thats it, save and you are done!
