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

Open a new image 650x650 and flood fill white.

You can resize later.

Add a new layer and flood fill with the gradient,or make your own using 

two colours from your tube.

Layers>new mask layer>from image,scroll to your mask 275 and hit ok.Merge group.

Repeat the above steps using mask 180.

Open frame2 and resize by 65%.Add a drop shadow,i use 2,2 50 5.

With your magic wand click inside the frame,and go to selections>modify

and expand by 5.Paste a paper of choice as a new layer-i used paper 6-

selections>invert>edit cut and deselect.Drag the paper layer under the frame layer.

I used Filters Unlimited Paper textures on mine,cardboard box.fine,default settings.

 Position in the centre of the canvas.

Open flowers and place in top of the frame paper layer,move to the left of the frame

and use your losso tool to remove any of the flower hanging outside the frame.

Change the blend mode in the layer palette to Luminance legacy and duplicate and mirror.

Now click on the mask layer,and paste the flowers in again as a new layer.

Place on the left of the frame,and use your lasso tool to remove any parts you don`t want.

Duplicate and mirror,and add a drop shadow to each.

Add your tube and place in the centre.

Open the three frames and resize by 70%.

Place at the bottom of the tube.Add a drop shadow,then with your magic wand,

click inside the 1st frame,hold down the shift key,and click inside the other two frames.

Selections>modify and expand by 5.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer-i used the parchement from the kit-

Selections<invert>edit>cut and deselect.

Drag the paper under the 3 frames layer.

 I used Filters unlimited colour booster on the parchement.

Choose some animal brushes,and place one in each frame.

Change the blend mode to luminance legacy,and turn the opacity down if needed.

I also added some cat scratch brushes.,and added a gradient glow colour #AD2E0B.

Now add some wordart using the alpha or a nice font.

Place above the frames.

I added the same gradient glow as my scratch brushes.

Add your name.

I used the gradient,and Superblade Pro Coconut Ice,

and then added the same gradient glow.

If you are happy with your tag,delete the white background,

Merge all layers,and resize to your liking.

Then add your credits,and that`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial :)
