Ready?

Let's get started!

Open up Tracy's template shift+d  close out the original template. Delete the copyright info I also deleted the happy easter words but thats up to you and depends on the tube you're using.

On square 1 layer selections-select all-float-defloat open up a paper of choice I used paper 4 copy and paste it as a new layer then go to selections-invert and hit delete close off the original layer. Repeat these steps for circle 3,square 2 layers using different papers from the kit I used paper 13 for the circle and paper 7 for the square.

On the Rectangle 1 layer selections-select all-float-defloat copy and paste your tube as a new layer I mirrored it before I pasted it then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Change the blend mode to Luminance L and lower the opacityand add Xero Radiance my settings shown in the screen-shot below.

On square 3 layer selections-select all-float-defloat now open up your tube copy and paste it as a new layer  now go to selections-invert and hit delete. Change the blend mode to Luminance L lower the opacity and add Xero Radiance same settings shown in the screen-shot above.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer re-size if needed duplicate and change the blend mode to soft light and add a drop shadow.

Now I decorated my tag a bit with elements from the kit. I used the two eggs re-sized them to fit nicely on the sides of the tube one a little smaller then the other and rotated it a bit. I also used one of the flowers from the kit re-sized it to fit nicely and placed it in two different spots on the tag.

Add your name in a font of choice with a gradient glow and a drop shadow settings shown in the screen-shot below.

Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow.
