Must having some working knowledge of the program.

Template by me. [HERE]

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

this tag is super easy. it will only be a matter of arranging elements

and cutting papers down to size.

so open up the template, delete the copyright layer.

also delete the long rectangle layer, we won't be using it.

we're going to work our way from the bottom up.

hide all the layers except the large circle.

add a new layer and select all.

open paper10, copy and paste (C/P) into selection on the new layer.

do not select none.

click the large circle layer and float/defloat/invert your selection.

hit delete on paper10 and select none. hide the large circle layer.

now unhide the medium circle layer. add a new raster layer above it.

select all.

open paper16 and repeat the steps for paper10.

unhide the 3 squares.

add a new raster layer above each square.

select all.

open papers 12 and 16.

C/P into selection paper12 above squares 1 and 3.

C/P into selection paper16 above square 2.

select none.

use your magic wand tool to select the area outside square 1 and delete

excess paper. select none.

repeat the steps for the 2 remaining squares.

select none. hide the template squares.

now unhide the small circle layer.

add a new raster layer above it and select all.

open paper2 and C/P into selection.

click the small circle layer and float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on paper2 and select none. hide the small circle layer.

so the papers are all done and now time to add the elements.

the major ones are the arch and rosevine.

open the arch from the kit.

C/P as a new layer above the paper16 (medium circle) layer.

duplicate and flip it.

open the rosevine, C/P as a new layer above the arch.

pull it to the right of the circle.

duplicate and mirror it.

and those are the major pieces, add any other elements as well as your tube.

don't forget to add artist/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! =)
