Scrap kit of choice, I am using a PTU Scrap Kit, American Honey by Pimpd Designz
http://pimp-your-tags.blogspot.com/
You can purchase that here and here
Font of choice, I am using is, Salpicon
Filter Factory J Toners plugin (optional)


Lets get started

Open up a new image 700*500 we will resize later.

Open your tube of choice, minimize it for now.

Open up your scrap kit

Open up pd-frame-02, copy and paste as a new layer, resize twice @ 70% smartsize and sharpen twice

Duplicate the frame layer once, open up your minimized tube, copy and paste, resize to
your liking, depending on which tube you used, and sharpen, I then used the claify under
enhance photo, once with 5 and used filter factory J toners plugin with these settings

Red-11 Green-14 Blue-15, apply once or play around till you like it.

I then brought this below the duplicated layer of the frame and then erased some of the
frame that was covering the tube so it sits nicely in the frame.

Click inside your frame layer with your magic wand, expand by 5. Open up paper
of choice, I used pd-pp-08 from the kit, resize some and sharpen once, and invert then delete.

Bring that below the frame layer, I then added a drop shadow to the frame that we
didn't erase, with these settings
V&H- 1
Opacity-100
Blur- 2.00
Color- BLK

Let's decorate our taggie

Open up the pd-greens-02, copy and paste as new layer, I then rotated 90 degrees to the
left, resize @ 70% smartsize 3 times then sharpen 3 times, duplicate once and bring
it over some so it peaks out on the bottom of the left side.
I then duplicated it once more and flipped it, so it peaks out some on top right.
Duplicate once more and mirror it so it peaks out on the left, I erased the stem some
so it doesn't hang over, use my sample as a guide. bring below frame layer.
add same drop shadow as before.

Open up pd-mesh-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize twice and sharpen twice.
Duplicate once and flip it and mirror so it peaks out some on the bottom as well.
Bring these above the leaves layer but still below the frame layer.
add same drop shadow as before.

Open up pd-print-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize twice and sharpen once
then duplicate once and merge those two layers together, then duplicate again and flip it
so it peaks out some on the bottom, I brought these layers to the bottom behind everything.

Open up pd-ribbon-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize twice and sharpen
twice, add same drop shadow as before, duplicate once, and then mirror so it peaks out some on the
bottom, use my tag as a guide.


Open up pd-string-heart, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize 3 times, sharpen twice
add same drop shadow as before, and place on right side of the frame above all layers.

Open up pd-jean-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize 4 times and
sharpen 3 times, rotate this @ 15 degrees to the left before you sharpen, I put this
over the heart string layer so the heart looks tucked in.

Open up pd-twine-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize once then once @
85% and once @ 90%, sharpen twice and add same drop shadow as before.

Open up pd-buckle, copy and paste as new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize three times
and sharpen twice and add same drop shadow as before, and place this over the jean pocket.

Open up pd-button-01, copy and paste, resize @ 70% smartsize 4 times and sharpen once,
I place mine in random places on the tag, use my tag as a guide, add same drop shadow
as before.

Open up your font of choice and put your name on it, any copyright info that applies
and your watermark. Save as a png or jpeg, and your done!

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial!!
