***********************

with all the files open, lets get started.

open the template and delete my copyright layer.

on the oval layer, select all/float/defloat.

now add a new raster layer above the oval layer.

open paper4 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the oval template layer.

now you can add your own drop shadow choice but the settings I used for this tag

are the following:

vertical - 6

horizontal - 6

opacity - 30

blur - 20

color - #000000

*add the drop shadow on a different layer so you can change it later if you want.*

on the rectangle1 layer, select all/float/defloat.

now add a new raster layer above rectangle1.

open paper16 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide rectangle1.

*OPTIONAL ELEMENT*

open the arch from the kit.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer above the rectangle1 layer.

free rotate it to the right by 90.

pull the arch so the edges show slightly under rectangle2.

duplicate the arch and mirror and flip it.

merge down the duplicate so you have one layer of both arches.

repeat the steps for rectangle2 and paper16.

once finished, merge down so the rectangles are one layer.

add the drop shadow again.

now on the heart layer, select all/float/defloat.

add a new raster layer above the heart layer.

open paper10 and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the heart template layer.

now open bride4 tube and resize by 40%.

copy and paste as a new layer above the heart/paper10 layer.

position the tube in the middle of the heart.

go to effects > photo effects > black and white film, apply it to the tube.

now set the blend mode to darken and change the opacity to 50%.

go down to the background layer and select all.

crop to selection.

*this gets rid of any excess tube portion not visible on the canvas.*

now back up to the hidden heart template layer.

select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the tube layer and select none.

merge the tube layer down with the heart/paper10 layer.

now duplicate the merged heart/tube layer.

go up to effects > 3D effects > cutout and use these settings:

vertical - 0

horizontal - 0

opacity - 85

blur - 100

shadow color - #94676c

NO fill color

merge down the cutout with the heart layer and add the drop shadow.

now open bride3 tube and resize by 25%.

C/P as a new layer above the heart layer.

mirror it and pull it to the right side of the rectangle1.

add the drop shadow.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.

invert selection and crop to selection.

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
