*For this tutorial C/P means Edit, copy element or paper and paste as a new layer.
*Also when I suggest clicking on a layer first before you C/P its for placement purposes.

*D/S - Effects, 3 D effects, Drop Shadow then put in the settings I post in the brackets.

Remember - SAVE YOUR WORK OFTEN!!

Both the Frame and Kit I used for this were FS Kits at 300 dpi, so in order to

use this for my tag I changed the dpi to 72 and resized. I will show you how.

 Open up the Cluster frame. Image resize as shown below.

Edit C/P as new image. Close out original. Adjust, sharpen.

Set your bg color to white and using your circle tool, trace out a circle just

large enough to cover the inside of the frame. Convert to raster

and drag the circle below your main frame. Now for the frame background

I used a .jpg that came with the Janesko tube. You can use whatever paper you like. Just C/P your paper then duplicate it. 

Right Click and send one to bottom. Click on your circle, select All, Select float, select invert, on the top new paper layer hit delete, select none. You can delete your plain circle now. C/P your 2 tubes, the large one being in the background set its blend mode to Luminance (L) and its opacity to 58. On your top tube layer add a d/s of (6,4,50,6.00)

Open up your mask, minimize it. On your Bottom Paper layer, go to layers, New Mask Layer, From Image, in the source window find the mask, have source luminance checked and click ok. In your layers window  you will see 3 layers of the mask, go to top one of those 3, right click, merge group. Image mirror, image flip. If you need to align the mask, just go to pick tool and using the lil arrows stretch it to where you want it. 

To help see where your mask is you can create new raster, flood fill it white and send to bottom. 

 Add  the word art. Click on top layer.

From Lisete's freebie kit i used 5 elements. I will show your how to resize them for 72.dpi. 

Element 1. 

C/p as new layer, Adjust, Hue and Saturation, Colorize by changing the Hue to 55 and the Saturation to 28. Click OK, arrange it to just below the Word Art, then drag that layer below the Frame Layer. Click back on top layer. 

 Element 3 re size as shown,

C/P as new layer, re color using same settings, add a d/s (5,3,30,5.00)

duplicate and place them where you want them then drag below the word art.

Click back on top layer. 

Element 5 (branch)

Re size as shown.

C/P as new layer, again re color using same settings, apply same d/s, arrange it where you want it and drag below word art.

 Click back on top layer.

Element 4 (Flower)

Re size as shown.

C/P as new layer, adjust sharpen, recolor using same settings, apply same d/s.

Duplicate mirror. Arrange one on branch the other you will adjust after we add the next element. Drag them both below the word art.

Click back on top layer. 

Element 8 (leaves)

Re size as shown.

C/P as new layer, I did NOT recolor it. Add same d/s. arrange then drag below your flower layer. Now adjust your flower layer.

Add your copyright and text. To save as .png, delete your white bg first, merge all then save.

Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial. Hugz Dee
