This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice of tube or scrap kit to make your tag unique.

If you want your tag to look just like mine, then use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have knowledge

of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental. 

Supplies Used:

Tube is by Arthur Crowe. He is no longer selling. You must have a license to use his artwork.

Scrap kit is by Catty Creationz. It is called Under The Starlight and you can find it on her blog https://cattycreationsdezines.blogspot.com/

Font of your choice. I am using Lightshot

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

Photo Effex Scanlines 

Let's Begin:

Open a new canvas that will give you plenty of room to work with. I usually use 900x900 and then crop and resize when I am all finished.

Open frame 4 and copy and paste as a new layer on to your blank canvas. Resize to your liking. This going to be part of your background base and not an actual frame that is a focal point so you don’t want it too large.

Using your magic wand select the inside of the frame and go to selections modify and expand by 10.

Layers new raster layer and drag under the frame layer.

Open any of the papers of your choice from the kit and copy and paste into selection. Selections select none.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to your frame and then merge visible.

Image rotate free rotate to the left 20 degrees.

Adjust sharpeness unsharp mask. I use the following settings:

Duplicate. On the bottom original layer go to adjust blur gaussian blur and blur by 10. Then apply Photo Effex Scanlines with the following settings:

Open element 7.

Copy and paste as a new layer and resize to your liking. You want it small enough to be the focal point in the center and also to see the first framed image behind it. Don’t forget to sharpen when you resize.

Selections select all float defloat selections modify and expand by 3.

Layers new raster layer.

Drag under this layer.

Flood fill with white.

Adjust add noise using the following settings:

Selections select none.

Make your top layer active and merge down.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to this layer.

At this time I like to add my tube so I can build the rest of the tag around it.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. Position where you choose. Mine is nearly center within the tag.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to your tube. 

Now let’s dress the tag up with elements from the kit. I will list the elements I used. Feel free to use other elements to make your tag unique. Placement of the elements is completely up to you. If you want your tag to look just like mine, then use my tag for reference.

Add your name and copyright information. Make sure you include your license # and any credits that need to be on your tag.

Crop and resize if you would like.

I made mine a 3 piece forum set and you can do that very easily on your own.

Thanks for trying my tutorial.

This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice of tube or scrap kit to make your tag unique. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.

Supplies Used:

Tube of your choice. I am using an exclusive tube that was created by Arthur Crowe. This tube is exclusive to The Taggers Lounge psp forum. You can get this tube simply by participating at the forum. You can find the forum at http://thetaggerslounge.forumotion.com/ You must have a TTL license to use this image. You can find Arthur’s awesome tubes at https://arthurcrowesfactory.com/store/

Scrap kit is another exclusive made for The Taggers Lounge forum. This kit was made by Jens Sweet Temptations. You can also get this kit by participating at the forum. You can find other goodies by Jen at http://jenssweettemptations.blogspot.ca/

Font of your choice. I am using Amastery(I also used some of the extra swashes)

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

NONE

Let's Begin:

Open element 29 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Resize the frame by 120%.

Using your freehand selection tool set on point to point carefully go around the outside edge of the frame and select it. Be really careful that you do not go outside of the frame.

Layers new raster layer. Drag under the frame.

Open paper 5 and copy and paste into selection.

LEAVE SELECTED

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Position so that her top half is within the framed area but also some poking out around if you wish. Erase any bits you do not want. Selections select none.

Add a drop shadow to both your tube and the frame.

Open element 44. Copy and paste as a new layer and drag to the very bottom. Place at the top right side near your tubes head. Now here is where it is going to take some work from you but it’s so worth it in the end. You are going to duplicate this leaf element several times and rotate it so that you can place it around the frame from the top right to the bottom right. I rotated mine by 15 and 30 degrees. Make sure you sharpen every time you rotate. Once you get them built up the way you want then merge them all together and duplicate that merged layer and image flip horizontal and move to the left side. You should have a complete ring of leaves all the way around the frame. Once you are happy then merge both layers together. Duplicate. On the bottom copy Adjust Blur Guassian Blur at 15. On this blurred layer go to effects texture effects Blinds with the following settings: 

Add a drop shadow to the top copy of the leaves layer.

Now here is where some freedom of expression can come in. Let’s begin building up the flowers all around the frame. You can use any flowers of your choice from the kit. Use as little or as much as you want. I placed some under the frame and peeking out. I placed some on top. Re-size them as you need to. Add a drop shadow to each one.

Once you get all of your flowers on let’s add some other elements.

Open element GElement. And copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size by 75%. Move to the bottom left corner of the frame. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 33. Copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size by 50% 2x. Move to the bottom left in front of the water buckets element. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 9 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size by 50% and then again by 70%. Drag under the frog layer. Place at the bottom on the right side of the frog. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 6 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size by 50% 2x and image flip horizontal. Place on top of the water buckets element. Add a drop shadow.

You can of course at this time add any other elements if you wish and make the tag uniquely yours. I chose to stop here.
