For this tutorial i used the beautiful art of Sue Miller

You can purchase her tubes from Up Your Art

I used a lovely Ftu kit called Melancholic Bliss from Rebecca Psp.

Wordart by Kerry`s Scraps here

Mask of choice

Onto the tut.........

Open a new image 650x650-you can resize later-and flood fill with white.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer and apply your mask.

(As this is a full size kit,i resize my papers to 700x700 pixels)

Layers>new mask layer>from image>choose mask and hit ok.Merge group.

Choose a frame from the kit and resize to your liking.I used frame 4.

Place in the middle of the canvas and add a drop shadow.I use 2,2, 50 5.

Paste in your tube as a new layer,and move below the frame layer.

Open ribbon 5,resize and place at the bottom of the frame.

Add a drop shadow and sharpen if needed.

Bow 1,resize and place in the middle of the ribbon.

Tulip 2 ,resize and place at the bottom left of the frame.

Tulip 3,place at the top right of the frame.

Branch 1,resize and place on the right of the frame.

Drop shadow and sharpen.

Butterfly 1,resize and place at the bottom right of the frame.

Open the wordart,resize and olace at the top of the frame.

Now open scatter1,resize and place on the left hand side of the frame.

Layers,duplicate and image>mirror,position where you like it on the right.

I re coloured my duplicate using the change to target brush,using a colour from my tube.

Add anything else you like from the kit,then add your name using the alpha or a pretty font.

When you are happy with your tag,delete the white background,merge all layers

and resize to your liking.Add your credits and

that`s it-you are done!
