Ready?!

Open a new 700 x 700 image.  Also open my cluster frame -

Copy and paste as new layer onto your new image.

just a little bigger than the inside part of the frame.

Choose a paper from the kit - Resize 70% - Copy and paste

you'd like - Then duplicate.  Move the duplicate layer

all the way to the top.  Keep the original under the frame - Hit

if needed.

Here are a couple elements I threw into the frame with the girls.

Element 19 - Resized 40% - Placed above the (original) girls tube,

below the frame. Drop shadow.

Element 21 (wheel) - Resized 30% - Place below the original girls

tube - right behind the one in red.  Drop shadow.

and just below the wheel.  Drop shadow.

Resize your merged layer only - to 90%

(make sure all layers is unchecked)

Un X the bottom layer and make active.

Open element 7 - Resize 85% - Copy and paste

as new layer.  Place onto the right top corner of the image.

tag layer.  Lower the opacity to about 80%.

Now open up element 13 - Resize 85% - Copy and paste

as new layer onto the left side of the tag, below the frame

layer.  Duplicate - Mirror.  Drop shadow.

Merge visible.  Crop opaque - resize to your liking.

READY?!

Open a new 700 x 700 pixel image.

Open my cluster frame - Copy and paste as

new layer.  Using your selection tool - set to circle -

draw out a circle bigger than the inside of the frame..

as shown below:

Choose a paper from the kit - Resize 70% - Copy and paste

as new layer - Selections - Invert - Delete.

KEEP SELECTED!!

Now choose one of those beautiful cookie posers from the kit..

I chose the one sitting.  If using her, then mirror - Copy

and paste as new layer.  Make sure she's below the frame.

I moved her to the left, so that when done right... it looks like

her hand is on the frame, and she's sitting on the bottom of the frame

also. Duplicate and move the top cookie to the very top of

your tag image.  Back to the bottom cookie layer - Hit delete.

Select none.  Let's go back to the top cookie layer - Grab your

eraser tool (settings don't really matter).

Erase just the small part of her hand (leave the thumb alone).

Also erase the other hand, so that it looks like it's still

in the frame.  Erase parts of her body where the deco is from the

frame.  Looks pretty neat eh? :o)

Add a drop shadow to the bottom cookie layer.

Now all that's left is our mask and wordart!

Go to the very bottom layer of your tag image..

it should be raster1 - Select all - Choose a paper

from the kit - Copy and paste INTO selection.

Select none.  Layer - New Mask Layer - From Image

and choose chasmask26 - Apply.  Right click

in layer pallette and merge group.

Resize the mask by 90% - Duplicate - Mirror - Merge down.

You may need to move the mask over to the left, just a bit.

Ok.  Now I liked this... but I wanted to add a little something

more.  So.  Add a new layer - Select all -

Choose another paper from the kit - Copy and paste

INTO selection.  Select none.  Layer - New Mask Layer - From Image

Choose chasmask28 - Apply.  Right click in layer pallette

and merge group. 

Before we finalize the tag... we're going to do something else.

Open a brand new 600 x 600 image.

Open gems3 (the black one) Copy and paste as new layer.

Now effects - Plugins - Mura Meister - Copies

with the settings below:

Apply and copy this new image - Go back to your tag

and above the second mask (right below the frame layer)

Paste as new layer.  Resize 115%.

Ok. Merge visible.  Crop opaque and resize to 500 x 500 pixels.

(or whatever size you'd like)  Open my wordart - Resize

70% or so - Copy and paste as new layer.  I put mine

on top of my tag... but of course, it's your choice.

Merge visible.  Add your name and all copyright info.

Save as .png for a transparent background and .jpg for a white

Let's start by opening a new 700 x 700 pixel image.

Copy and paste my cluster frame as a new layer.

Grab your selection tool - Set to rectangle - Draw

out a rectangle just a bit bigger than the inside part of the frame.

Choose a paper from the kit - Resized 70% - Copy and paste

as new layer.  Selections - Invert - Delete.  Move the paper layer

below the frame layer and KEEP SELECTED!

Now let's choose one of those LOVELY posers from the kit.

Resize her by 80% - Copy and paste as new layer

(just above paper layer)  Duplicate and hide the duplicate

for now. On the bottom tube layer - hit delete.

It should erase all the parts of her that go beyond the frame.

Select none.

Now let's go to the other copy of the tube....

Move it all the way to the top of the image.

Using your eraser tool, erase the bits of her dress that

show... Most of the bottom of her dress will need

to be erased.  This makes her look like she's coming right out

of the frame.  Add a drop shadow of 2, -2, 60, 6 - Black

to the bottom tube layer.  X out the bottom layer and merge

visible.  Copy and then paste as a new layer... delete

the original.  This step is to place the image into the center

of the tag. :o)

Open swirl from kit - Resize 50% - Copy and paste

as a new layer.  Move the layer below the merged image and

to the upper right of the tag.  Duplicate - Mirror - Merge

down.  Duplicate again - Flip - Merge down. Resize 95%.

Un X the bottom raster layer and make it active.

Select all - Copy a paper from the kit and paste

INTO selection.  Select none.

Now we're going to add our mask.  Layers - New Mask Layer -

From Image - Choose WSL_Mask189.

Apply and then merge group.

Resize the mask 95% and move it down slightly.

Duplicate.  Merge visible.

Open my wordart and resize 70% - Copy and paste

as new layer.  Place wherever you'd like.

Merge visible.  Crop image opaque - Resize to your liking.

Add your name and all copyright info.

Save as .png for a transparent background

and .jpg for a white background.

I hope you enjoyed this tut and it wasn't too confusing to you!!

Start by opening a new 600 x 600 image.

Also open the cluster frame and mask. Minimize the mask

for later use.

Alrighty. Let's start by resizing the cluster frame by 90%.

Copy and paste as a new layer. Using your freehand selection tool,

draw a rectangle (on the top frame) just a little bigger than the inner

part of the frame. Choose a paper from the kit, Copy and paste as new

layer. Selections - Invert - Delete. KEEP SELECTED.

Move the paper layer under the frame layer.

Now we're going to choose an image to put inside the frame.

I chose to use DBS_Fence_w_Fae02 - Rotated 15% to the right - and

resized 35%. Copy and paste as new layer. Hit delete. Select none.

Make the frame layer active and paste the image again. Align both

together. Now, Using your eraser, erase everything but the fae,

so it looks like she's flying out of the frame. Give the bottom copy

a drop shadow of 2, -2, 60, 8 - Black.

Repeat those same steps for the bottom frame. except change the images

you use. If duplicating my tag... I used DBS_Swing (rotated 15% right) - Resized at 50% and DBS_Staffie01 - Resized at 30%.

Add drop shadow to both of those layers.

Now just to make sure we've got plenty of room to work...we're going to change the canvas size to 900 x 800.

Choose a tube from the kit - Mirror - Copy and Paste as new layer.

I chose to mirror her, to put her on the right side of my tag.

You can, however, do what you'd like....

since you're making your own :o) Apply same drop shadow as

before. (*Note...I added the DBS_LaceParasol to the tube,

to look as though she's holding it*)

Now let's choose a sign from the kit. I chose DBS_Sign02 - Resized 30%

Copy and paste as new layer. Arrange to the left, between the frames,

where the empty space is. Duplicate the sign layer.

Move one copy all the way to the bottom of the tag

 (Add a drop shadow to this layer)

Back on the top copy of the sign - Erase the bottom parts

 that stick out onto the bottom frame.

Almost done!!! Open DBS_Deco01 - Copy and paste as new layer.

Duplicate - Mirror - Merge down. Duplicate - Mirror - Flip -

Merge down. Apply drop shadow we used before.

Move the deco layer to the bottom. Resize 80% and

arrange so that the tag image is in the center of the deco layer.

(I had to move mine to the right slightly).

Add a new layer and move it all the way to the bottom - Select all.

Choose a paper from the kit - Copy and Paste INTO selection.

Now go to Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image - Choose my mask

from the scroll box. Apply and merge group. Resize by 80%.

 For a finalized little something...I chose to add DBS_Pumpkins.

I resized them by 30% and added the same drop

shadow as before. Merge visible - Crop - Resize

to your liking. Add whatever wording you'd like.

 Also add your name and all copyright information.

Save as .png for a transparent background and .jpg for a

white background.  Thanks for giving my tut a try!!!

Hope I didn't confuse you!!

Arrange to your liking - Delete. Select none. Now make the lace

frame active and RE-Paste your tube. Line the two tube layers

up together, and using your eraser.... erase her shoulders, some

of her braids, a little of her neck. This gives the effect that

she's coming out of the frame. When you're satisfied, add a

drop shadow of 2, -2, 60, 8 - Black to the bottom tube layer.

Also to the frame layer. X out the bottom and merge the paper,

frame, and tube layers, visible.
