This tutorial was written on February 18, 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 tubes by Suzanne Woolcott. You can get her work here.

The Scrap Kit I used for this is by Liv Luvs Scraps. The Kit is called "Beauty of Spring". Thank you so much Liv for giving me this kit to play with! xoxo

The font I used is called Engravers MT. Mask of choice. I used one from Zuzanna. You can download her masks here.

Cupcake Sprinkles Template 8. You can download her template here.

You will need the plug ins Alien Skin Eyecandy 5: Bevel and DSB Flux: Blast for this tutorial.

Let's get started!

Change the foreground to a texture and choose the sage paper from the swatches. Click the white circle with your fill tool to fill it with the paper. Select/Select None. Drop shadow.

Your tag should now look something like this:



Find "Large Square" in Cupcake Sprinkles Template 8 and copy/paste it into your image. Position it off to the right of your tag and towards the bottom of the circles, refer to my tag if needed.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_PaperTextured-Olive. Select your magic wand tool. Click the large square. Select your fill tool. Change the foreground to a texture and choose the olive paper from the swatches. Click the large square with your fill tool to fill it with the paper. Select/Select None.

Copy/Paste "Large Square Frame" from Template 8 into your image. Position it over the large square. Select your magic wand tool and click the frame. Select your fill tool and click the frame to fill it with the same texture as your square. Select/Select None. Go to Effects/Alien Skin Eyecandy 5: Bevel and use these settings:





Drop shadow on your frame with the same shadow settings as before.

Repeat the previous steps for the smaller square. Position this square to the left of your tag, refer to my tag for position if needed.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_Flower-PeachOrange and copy/paste it into your image between your circle layers and your frame layers. Resize it down until it is slightly smaller than the small green circle and position it over the circle so it covers most of it. Refer to my tag if you need to. Drop shadow.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_Flower-DarkChocolate and copy/paste it into your image on top of your orange flower. Resize it down until you are comfortable with the size and position it so the center of the flower is aligned with the top right corner of our large frame square. Drop Shadow.

Your tag should now look something like this:



Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_LeafFrame-PalestPink and copy/paste it into your image right above your mask layer. Click Image/Mirror. Resize the leaf frame down to a size you are comfortable with. Position it to the upper right of your tag, refer to my tag if needed. Erase any part of the leaf frame that you wish to. I erased any part that over hung the left of the circles and under the green frames. Drop Shadow.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_Leaf-Green and copy/paste it into your image under the light green circle layer. Resize it down to a size you are comfortable with. Position it on the left side of your tag near the bottom of your left hand frame. Refer to my tag for positioning if needed. Drop shadow.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_GlitterCurl-Brown. Click Image/Mirror. Resize it down until it's about the length of the top of your large green square. Position the doodle so it's center along the top of your large green square. Drop shadow.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_Bow-DarkChocolate. Resize it down to a size you are comfortable with. Rotate it slightly to the left. Position the bow in the upper left corner of your large green square. Drop shadow.

Your tag should now look something like this:



Open a tube you'd like to use for your tag. Copy/paste it into your image between the small green frame and the large green frame. Resize it down if you need to and position it in your large green frame. Erase any parts of the tube that over hang the sides and bottom of the frame. Drop shadow.

Open another tube you'd like to use for your tag and repeat the previous step except use your small green frame.

Open LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_PaperPattern-DarkChocolate and LLS_BeautyofSpringPU_TS_PaperTextured-Brown. Select your text tool. Change the foreground color to texture and choose the textured light brown paper from the swatches. Change the background color to a texture and choose the chocolate paper from the swatches. Change your text width to 2. Select the font you want to use and type out your name. Position it under the large green frame. Drop Shadow.

Add your tube's artists copyrights/watermarks and your license number.
