This tutorial was written on February 9, 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 see her beautiful work here.

The Scrap Kit I used for this tut is by Liv Luvs Scraps. It's called "Beyond the Sea" and you can download it here.

The font I used is called Koch Rivoli. You can find it on dafont.com.

A mask of your choice. I am using one by Zuzanna. You can download her masks here.

Let's get started!

Open a 500x450 transparent image and flood fill it white.

Open LLS-BeyondTheSea-Paper-Textured-Brown and copy/paste it into your image. Click on Layers/Load-Save Mask and choose the mask you want to use for your tag. In your layers menu right click the mask layer and select merge/merge group. Double click your mask layer and change the opacity to 70%.

Open LLS-BeyondTheSea_Paper_Textured_Blue. Select your rectangle tool. Click on your foreground color and click the texture tab. Choose the blue textured paper from the texture swatches and click ok. Click the circle with the line through it on your background color so it isn't visible. Change the width of your rectangle to 10.00. Draw out a rectangle. See my tag for size reference if needed. Go to Effects/3D Effects/Inner Bevel. Use these bevel settings:



Drop shadow on your frame. Drop shadow settings are:



Open LLS-BeyondTheSea-Bow-Brown and copy/paste it into your image. Resize it down and position it towards the top of your frame. You may need to extend the bow a little bit to reach the edge of your frame. Refer to my tag if you need to for positioning. Drop Shadow.

Copy/Paste the brown bow into your image again. Go to Images/Free Rotate and rotate it 90 degrees to the left. Resize it down and position it on the left side of your frame. Again you may need to extend it in length to reach the edges of your frame. Drop shadow. Merge your two ribbon layers together.

Your tag should now look something like this:



Open LLS-BeyondTheSea-Embellishment-Sun and copy/paste it into your image. Resize it down to a size you are comfortable with and place it in the upper left corner of your frame. Drop shadow.

Open LLS-BeyondTheSea-Flower_SeaGreen and copy/paste it into your image. Resize it down so it's about the size of the center of your sun and position the flower in the center of the sun. Drop shadow.

Open the tube you are using and copy/paste it into your image. Position it to your liking and add drop shadow.

Your tag should now look something like this:



Select your text tool. Change the background color to the textured blue paper and change your foreground color to the textured brown paper. Make your text stroke width 2. Using the font of your choice type out your name. Position it in the bottom right of your tag and drop shadow.

If you want word art on your tube, click your image with your text tool again. Select a font or two and make your word art. Position your word art to your liking and drop shadow. My word art says Forget me not. I typed out Forget with the font KatTal and dropped shadow and positioned it on top of my frame. I typed out me not on it's own layer with the font pussycat and rotated it 90 degrees to the right.

Add your tubes artist's copyrights/watermarks and your license number.

That's it your done. Thanks for doing my tutorial.
