***********************
with all the files open and ready to go, let's get started.
open a new image 750px by 650px with a transparent background.
add a new raster layer and select all.
open paper11 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer.
select none.
apply the mask at default settings.
right click on the mask layer to merge the mask group.
open the frame1 from the kit and resize by 80%.
copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer above the mask layer.
use your magic wand to select the area inside the frame.
expand selection by 4.
add a new raster layer below the frame.
open paper10 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer.
select none.
now open your tube, a close up tube is preferable.
C/P as a new layer above the paper11 layer and below the frame.
position the tube to your liking.
use your magic wand tool to select the area outside the paper11 circle.
hit delete on the tube.
select none.
now go down to the very bottom layer and select all.
crop to selection.
this deletes any excess tube portion not visible on the canvas.
now open the stampframe3 from the kit and resize by 80%.
C/P as a new layer on the very top.
use your mover tool to drag the stampframe to the right of the circle frame.
now use your magic wand tool to select inside each of the 3 frames.
expand your selection by 3.
add a new raster layer below the stampframe.
now open paper1 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer.
select none.
now open the full body tube and copy.
paste as a new layer below the stampframe and above the paper1 layer.
position it to your liking.
now use your magic wand tool to select the area outside the paper1 layer.
hide delete on the full body tube layer.
now go down to the very bottom layer and select all.
crop to selection.
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! =)
