Now before we start remember that this tut is only a guide, your imagination and talent will make this tag your own!


Open a New Layer 700x700 background white or x out the background layer before you save as a PNG.
I used the quilt paper and copy and paste that as a new layer.Next I used my raster deform tool and stretched it to fit the layer.
Then I went to Eyecandy 4000-Swirl-60.62-25.50-100-60-random seed-1.
Go to Layers-Load/Save Mask-load mask from disk, choose your mask or use zuzzana blind mask.
Source luminance-fit to canvas-invert transparency unticked-hide all mask-then load. Back to layers-merge-merge group.
Lower the opacity to 72 on your mask layer.
Pick one of your butterflies and copy and paste it in the middle of your tag. Reduce the size to about 35. Now go to mura meister copies and use these settings. Encircle-circle-Tile Mode-Behind. BG Colour pale pink. 12-50-50-0-100--25-100-0-0-30-0 click OK.
Go to layers-Load/Save Mask-load mask from disk, choose your mask or use WSL-Mask 17.
Source luminance-fit to canvas-invert transparency unticked-hide all mask-then load. Back to layers-merge-merge group.
I put this layer over the mask layer and resized it to suit. Lower the opacity to 60. I also added some sparkles using constellation if you choose to do this the settings are as follows-2.00-6-8-1-100-55. Twinkle rotation 45. Keep original image. Random Seed 1.
Now paste the squiggle frame as a new layer. Choose your image or tube and paste that as a new layer. Using your raster deform make
it as big or as small to fit over the frame. Go to your magic wand, click inside the frame. Selections-modify-expand by 5-invert-delete and place your image/tube under the frame layer.I found a rainbow in my extras folder and resized it to fit inside the frame and
look like the unicorn is on it. Next I added a bow and the heart chain, add any extra's you wish. Add your drop shadows. This is where I like to resize the tag.
Add your copyrights and your name (I added a gradient glow) and save as a PNG or a JPEG...you are done!!
