Supplies Needed:

Tube of your choice. I am using the work of Michael Calandra. I got this tube when he was at MPT. You can now get his work at http://cdoestore.com

Scrap kit of your choice. I am using a freebie bit from the Scrap your heart out blog train. This bit is from Melissaz Creationz. You can get it at http://melissazcreationz.blogspot.com/2015/05/scrappin-your-out-blog-train-may-luau.html

Font of your choice. I am using 2Peas Barefoot Professor. This is a PTU font so feel free to substitute for one of your choice.

Plugins:

Xero Radiance. Optional

Let's Begin:

Open a new blank canvas large enough for you to work with.

You can re-size and crop when we are done.

Set your background color to white and your foreground color turned off.

Using your elipse preset shape tool draw a circle as large as you want in the center of your canvas. This will be the base for your tag.

Before converting to a raster layer go to objects and align and then center in canvas.

Now convert to a raster layer.

Now go to adjust add/remove noise and add noise at 75% with uniform and monochrome checked.

Selections select all float and defloat.

Selections modify and contract by 15.

Layers new raster layer.

Open paper 4 and copy and paste into selection.

Selections select none.

Add a slight drop shadow to both circle layers.

Now open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer.

Position where you would like her.

Add a drop shadow.

Now I am going to list the elements that I used.

The placement of the elements is completely up to you and to be honest you can use any elements you wish. My tutorial is just a guide and you should try to make the tag your own.

The elements I used are :

If you want then apply Xero Radiance at the settings of your choice.

Crop and save.
