This tutorial was written on March 25, 2009 and is of my own imagination. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please
do not use the same images/tubes as I have unless you are licensed to do so.
Supplies Needed:
Tube of choice. I am using a tube by Suzanne Woolcott. You can get his work here.
The scrap kit used for this tutorial was made by Liv Luvs Scraps and is called "Cascade." You can visit Liv's blog
here and you can purchase Cascade here.
The fonts I used are Plakette 4 SF and Scriptina. You can find Scriptina at www.dafont.com.
A mask of choice. I am using one by Zuzanna which you can find here.
Finally you will need Divine Intentionz Template #90. You can download it here.
Let's get started!
Open Template #90. Hold Shift + D to duplicate it. Close out the original template. Delete the watermark, stars, and thin rectangle layers.
Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Paper_Stripe-Charcoal. Copy/Paste the paper on top of the background layer. Click Layers/Load-Save Mask from Disc and choose
the mask you want to use for your tag. Right click on the mask layer in your layers menu and click Merge/Merge Group.
Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Paper_Wave-Lavender. Select your flood fill tool. Change the foreground color to a texture and choose the lavender color from
the swatches. In your tag find the layer called "rectangle" and click it so it's highlighted. Click the rectangle in your tag with your flood fill
tool to fill it with the lavender paper.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using these settings:

Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Paper_Sparkle-Slate. With your flood fill tool still selected, change the texture to the slate sparkle paper by choosing it
from the swatches. In your tag find the layer called "frame background" and click it so it's highlighted. Click the frame background to fill it
with the sparkle paper.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Paper_Ripple-Teal. Still using your flood fill tool, change the texture to the teal ripple paper by choosing it from the
swatches. In your tag find the layer called "frame" and click it so it's highlighted. Click the frame to fill it with the teal ripple paper.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Your tag should now look something like this:

Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_BeadedString. Copy/Paste the beaded string into your tag underneath the frame background layer. Click Image/Resize and resize
the beaded string by 40% and then resize it again by 60%. Position the beaded string under the frame so a little less than half of it peeks out
from behind the frame and it's sitting in the upper right hand corner of the purple rectangle layer. Refer back to my tag for positioning if
needed.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Bracket-Charcoal. Copy/Paste the bracket into your tag underneath the frame. Click Image/Resize and resize the bracket 80%
three times. Position the bracket to the left side of your tag so the tip of the bracket just reaches the edge of your canvas. Refer to my tag for
positioning if needed.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Bracket-DullSilver. Copy/paste this bracket into your tag so its on top of the previous bracket. Click Image/Resize and
resize this bracket by 80% three times and then once again by 95%. Position this bracket off to the left side of your tag again and overlap the
charcoal bracket. Refer to my tag for positioning if needed.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Open the tube you chose to use for this tag. I chose an adorable tube by Suzanne Woolcott. Copy/Paste your tube into your image. If it's not already
the top layer, click on it in your layers menu and drag it to the top of your menu so it's positioned on top of the frame layers. Resize your tube
if you need to. I resized mine by 80% and rotated it 5 degrees to the left by click Image/Free Rotate. Position your tube to your liking on the
frame. Delete any part that overhangs the bottom of the frame.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Your tag should now look something like this:

Open LLS_CascadePU_TS_Paper_Sparkle-Charcoal. Select your text tool. Change the foreground color to white (ffffff) and change the background color
to a texture and pick the sparkle paper from the swatches. Change your text stroke width to 1. Choose a fat, bolder type font for this step. Click
on your tag so the text box pops up and type in Dreaming of you... Position the text below the frame and rotate it 5 degrees to the left. You can
stretch/drag the text if you want for a longer/wider look.
Click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and apply a shadow using the same settings as before.
Still using the text tool, change your background texture back to color and choose a light grey color. Change your text stroke width to 0. For this
step I recommend a script type font. Click your tag so the text box pops up and type out your name. In your layers menu right click on your name
layer and convert it to raster. Right click it again and select duplicate.
Click on Enhance Photo in your tool bar and click Manual color correction. Change the color of your duplicated name layer to black. Repeat this
step one more time for the original name layer except use white. Position the white name layer slightly upward and off to the left of the black
name layer. Right click the black name layer and click Merge/Merge Down.
Rotate the name layer slightly so it overlays the dreaming of you word art. I stretched my text to make it longer so it covered more of the dreaming
of you word art, you may choose to do the same thing if you want the same desired effect if it already isn't that way.
When your name is positioned to your liking click Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and drop shadow using the same settings as before.
Finally, add your tube's artists' copyrights/watermark and your license number to your tag.
That's it your done. Thanks for doing my tutorial.
