Mask DBV111  HERE

Ok Let's start

Open a 700 x 700 image, you can resize later, I like room to work...lol. Fill with white so you can see what you are working on better.

Open paper 8 and resize to 85% and apply mask 111, delete, merge group. Add paper 6, resize to 80% and apply the same mask again, delete and merge group, lower the opacity on this one to about 46 or so.

Open Frame 2 and resize 50%. Take your magic wand and click inside, go to selections, expand and expand by 3, paste paper 3, invert delete. Do not deselect yet. Move paper below the frame, copy your close up and position and then hit the delete on your keyboard, select none. Duplicate your close up, go to Adjust, blur, gaussian blur at 4, change blend mode to hard light, add the xero filter-Porcelain on the copy, go to the orginial and add xero filter-Radiance, then back to copy and merge down. Apply xero filter-mistifier now. Add your drop shadow of V-3 H4 40 5. Add drop shadow to frame also.

Copy and paste your tube on top of frame, resize if needed. I resized mine a bit to 95%. Move below the frame, erase any parts you do not want to show underneath the frame, then duplicate and bring to the top and erase the parts on the frame that you do not want. Refer to my tag. Add drop shadow on the orginial tube, but change the H to -3 this time.  Resize ribbon 2 and place on frame, add drop shadow, duplicate, flip and mirror.  Resize the skull to 15%, add drop shadow and place on bow, free rotate to the left 20%, duplicate and mirror and place on the other bow.

Resize boot 1 35%, place to the left of the frame, duplicate, mirror and move back to the other boot and move it down just a bit.  Resize corset 1 to 60% and free rotate to the left by 15% and place by the boots, add drop shadow.  Resize the sad teddy to 20% and place by the corset, add drop shadow.

Resize wingedskull 2 to 20% and place at the top, duplicate, resize 75% and move to the right and position where you like, and duplicate one more time if you like and place over by the corset strap.  Resize the zipped lips 40% twice and free rotate to the right 20% and place on the frame on the right.

Close off your white background and merge visible. Copy and paste as a new image and resize either 80% or 85%, depending on how large you like your tags. Adjust and sharpen, once you resize.

Add your Copyright and name and you are done.

I hope you have enjoyed doing my tut.

Let's get started

Open an 800 x 800 image, can resize later. Need it large because of the rotating of the frame. Copy and paste paper #6 and apply your mask, delete, merge group and resize to 105%, then copy and paste paper #1 and apply the mask again, delete, merge group.  Resize frame 95% and then image, free rotate, rotate 45% to the left. Take your magic wand, click inside, selections, expand by 2 and copy and paste paper of choice, I used paper #11, invert then delete, select none. Add drop shadow of 2V  2H  50  5.  Copy your frame again and place on top, magic wand again expand by 2 and copy and paste the same paper again, deleted, select none, add your drop shadow.  Copy your tube and place it under the first frame. Duplicate the tube, then Adjust, gaussian blur at 4, blend mode hard light or one you like. Then apply xero filter- Porcelain, merge down and add xero filter-Mistifier,  add your drop shadow.  Take the deco 1 and copy and paste on the frame at one of the corners, duplicate mirror, might need to adjust a little bit to get in position like you want, then merge down,  duplicate and flip for the other corners. Copy and paste the butterflies and place in the upper right hand side of tag. Resize the bird 75% and erase the branches and place where you like. duplicate and place again.  Close off your background and then merge visible. Copy and paste ivy one and place behind the merge tag, duplicate and mirror, merge down and add your drop shadow.

I also took my free hand selection tool and went around the butterfly on her hand and placed in on the frame, then duplicated that and resized 75% and mirror and placed on the frame also. 

Now resize 75% and add your copyright and name and you are done.

On the name I used EyeCandy4000 chrome and then recolored it with a gradient made with colors from the tag. Then I decided to add some jewels to the frame. Take keychain #2 erase the chain part and resize twice 50% and place on the frame, refer to my tag for placement.

Hope you have enjoyed doing my tut.
