I forget where I got mine sorry :(
Open up a 600x600 blank canvas.
Now open up the broken window element copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas arrange it to your liking. Now open up your tube mine is a half tube so I arranged her so she was sort of coming out of the window. Arrange yours to your liking. Duplicate your tube and change the blend mode to screen lower the opactiy to about 22. You can add a guassian blur if you'd like but you don't have to, my settings for that are always the same with the radius set at 3.
Open up the moon element copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas and re-size it to your liking, place it near the top right of the window frame. Now take the tree element copy and paste it as a new layer behind your tube and re-size it so it fits there nicely, open up the crow copy and paste it on a branch of the tree re-size it so it fits there nicely.
Open up the web element move it below all the layers except the window arrange it so its in the last left window re-size it so it fits there nicely. Copy and paste the sparkles element in the other window on the right side of the frame re-size them so they fit there nicely use your eraser tool to remove what overhangs.
Open up the clock2 element, box element and the hearts element. Copy and paste each one on the bottom left of the tag re-size and arrange them to your liking.
Copy and paste the kitteh near the bottom right of the tag again re-sizing it so it fits there nicely.
Open up a paper of choice I used paper 6 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer move it so its below EVERYTHING. Then apply your mask and merge group. Re-size and arrange to your liking. I added some noise to it by going to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise-random checked-monochrome checked and it set at 16%.
Now in your font and color of choice add your name then add the same noise from the settings earlier. Apply a gradient glow my settings shown in the screen-shot below then apply a drop shadow of V 0 H 0 Opacity 40 Blur 4.00 Color Black.

Let's get started!
Open up a 700x700 canvas we can always re-size/crop later.
I like my tags BIG LOL.
Open up frame 4 from the kit, copy and paste it as a new layer.
Take your magic wand and click inside the frame then open up paper 5 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer then go to selections-invert and hit delete DO NOT deselect yet open up paper 3 from the kit and do the same steps you just did then you can deselect. Change the blend mode of the second paper to Luminance L.
Open up your tube copy and paste it as a new layer, if your tube is like mine and not a full length tube what I did was arranged the tube to my liking then duplicated it moved that one below the frame. Then took my eraser tool and erased what showed over the frame so that it looks like shes IN the frame coming out. Then duplicate that layer change the blend mode to soft light and go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3 and lower the opacity to about 60. Repeat this step for the duplicated layer below the frame. Then add a drop shadow to the very bottom tube layer I used H 1 , V 1 , Opacity 60, Blur 4.00 Color Black.
Now we can decorate a bit!
I used the hope and faith flairs and placed them on the frame where I thought they looked best of course re-sizing them so they fit nicely. I did the same with the flower 2 element then duplicated, mirrored and flipped it.
Open up paper 1 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer arrange it so its at the very bottom then apply your mask and merge group.
Now for the word-art I wrote out 'Fight like a girl' but you can of course use whatever words you'd like. I used the black for the color then went to selections-select all-float-defloat-modify-expand by 2 then added a new layer and flood filled it with white, move this layer below the original text. Apply some noise by going to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise-random and monochrome checked at 36% then apply the same drop shadow as earlier then click on the original text layer and merge down. Change the blend mode of this layer to hard light arrange it to where you'd like.
Now in your font and color of choice add your name then apply a gradient glow my settings are shown in the screen-shot below and add the same drop shadow as you did earlier.

Then add a gradient glow my settings shown in the screen-shot below then add the same drop shadow as earlier and change the blend mode to hard light.

Next open up elements 44, 49, 58 and 59. Arrange the flowers element 44 near the bottom left of the tag, arrange the star element 49 near the middle right of the tag, arrange the birds elements 58 and 59 on the bottom left and right of the tag.
Using element 52 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer move it below the frame layer.
Open up paper 13 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer below the frame and the wire you just added. Then apply your mask and merge group and duplicate.
Now in your font and color of choice making sure you at the very top layer on your palette add your name then go to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise- random selected, monochrome selected, noise percent at 36. Then add a gradient glow my settings shown in the screen-shot below then add the same drop shadow as earlier and change the blend mode to hard light.
Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!

Open up a 700x700 canvas we can always re-size/crop later.
I like my tags BIG LOL.
Open up frame 7 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely. Now take your magic wand and click inside the frame then go to selections-modify-expand by 3 add a new layer then open up a paper of choice I used paper 14 from the kit paste it into the selection and move it below the frame. DO NOT deselect yet open up your tube copy and paste it as a new layer and arrange it to your liking then go to selections invert and hit delete and deselect. My tubes in the frame were on each side so I mirrored it. Merge them together if you have one on each side, then change the blend mode to screen duplicate and change the blend mode to soft light then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 5. Add a drop shadow to your frame I used H 2 V 2 Opacity 60 Blur 4.00 Color Black.
Open up the beads element from the kit copy and paste them as a new layer re-size so it fits along the top part of your frame.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer re-size it if you need to duplicate it and change the blend mode to screen apply the same blur you did earlier then lower the opacity to 32 and add the same drop shadow.
Now the moon element can go behind your tube re-size it so it fits there nicely. Add the same drop shadow.
Copy and paste the fog from the kit behind your tube re-size it so it fits nicely I moved it to one side duplicated and mirrored mine.
Copy and paste the light element from the kit behind your tube but to the side a bit re-size it so it fits nicely.
Take word-art 1 from the kit copy and paste it so its on the frame near the bottom re-size it so it fits there nicely.
Now we're going to take another paper I used paper 9 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer and move it to the bottom of your layer palette. Then add your mask and merge group. If it doesn't cover where you want arrange the first one to your liking then duplicate and mirror it.
Add your name in your font and color of choice then go to selections-select all-float-defloat-modify and expand by 2 add a new layer flood fill it with white or a color of choice then add some noise by going to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise random checked, 36% noise and monochrome checked. DO NOT deslect yet go to modify and expand by 2 again add a new layer and flood fill with the color you used for your name move it below all the name layers and add a drop shadow.

Ready?
Let's get started!
Open up a 700X700 canvas.
Open up frame 2 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas re-size it a little if you want it to fit better. Now take your magic wand and click inside the frame pick out a paper of choice I used paper 5 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size and arrange it where you want to see what you want in the frame. Then go to selections-invert and hit delete DO NOT deselect yet! Open up another paper I used paper 1 and did the same thing then changed the blend mode to overlay and lowered the opacity a bit. Move these layers below your frame layer.
Now on your frame layer go to selections-select all-float-defloat-modify-expand by 3 then add a new layer I used white and flood fill it then add some noise. To do that go to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise I have uniform checked and monochrome checked with a percentage of 35 but its up to you what you want to use.
Then add a drop shadow I used
H 0
V 0
Opacity 45
Blur 4
Color black
Now since my tube is a half close up tube what I did was copy and pasted her where I wanted then duplicated it and moved it below the frame layers and erased what showed over the frame on the LOWER part of the tube.
Now I jsut decorated the tag a bit with different elements from the kit I used the apples, barrel, cactus 2, flowers 1 and grass 2 for the bottom part of the frame. Arrange them how you like and re-size them so they fit nicely.
Now pick another paper from the kit I used paper 7 copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas below all the other layers. Apply your mask and merge group. Duplicate it and mirror it merge those together then duplicate that one and flip it.
Now in your font of choice add your name in a color of choice. Then on your font layer to go selections-select all-float-defloat-modify-expand by 2 add a new layer flood fill it with a color of choice I used white and add noise, same settings as earlier. Move this layer below the original font layer then add a drop shadow, same settings as before.
I did the same thing for the wording Country Girl in a different font then changed the blend mode to Luminance L.
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.

Open up a new 700x700 transparent canvas I always crop it later so it will be smaller I just like enough room to work.
From the kit open up frame 2 copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas, re-size it a little if you need to. Now we're going to take the magic wand and click INSIDE the frame then to go selections-modify-expand by 3 then open up a paper I uses paper 11 from the kit copy and past it as a new layer. Now go to selections-invert and hit delete move this layer below the frame. DO NOT deselect yet.

Duplicate it and change the blend mode of the top layer to overlay, then I added Xero Radiance you can just click random a few times to get a setting you like, it sort of depends on the colors in your tube.
Open up leave 4 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas now I made it so it went around the circle frame. So I had to re-size it a little then duplicated it and mirrored it, I duplicated it again and rotated it to the left 90 degrees. You can move this layer below the other leave layers so it looks all together or even use your eraser tool to remove some of it.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, mine was not a full tube only half which is fine cause we're going to decorate the bottom of the frame anyway. Duplicate your tube layer and change the blend mode of the top layer to screen. On the bottom layer of your tube add a drop shadow I used H 2, V 2, Opacity 45 and Blur 4.
I used the bottles from the kit re-sizing them a little so they fit nicely and placed them on the bottom part of the frame and over my tube. Duplicate and mirror. I also used lamp 1 from the kit re-size that a little and move it to the right bottom by the bottles. I used the butterfly at the top right.
Copy and paste a paper of choice I used paper 11 from the kit move this layer to the bottom of all your layers. You can re-size it a little then add the mask, open up another paper I used paper 8 repeat the same steps. Now change the blend mode of this paper layer to Luminace L.
Now in your font of choice we're going to add your name along with a gradient glow and a drop shadow. The drop shadow is the same as mentioned earlier. My gradient glow settings are shown in the screen-shots below. Then change the blend mode to Luminance L.
Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!

Now we're going to open up the wooden trunk from the kit, copy and paste that as a new layer ABOVE the frame layer. Re-size it a little to fit nicely then open up your tube copy and paste it as a new layer over the wooden trunk. Duplicate the tube layer then go to Adjust-Blur-Gaussian blur set to 3 then change the blend mode of this layer to soft light and lower the opacity a little.
Next I copied and pasted the grass and tree1 onto my canvas re-sized them a little and placed them where they looked best. With the tube I am using it comes with extra layers, I used one of the layers that had leaves and pasted it below everything BUT the frame. I think that gave it a nice touch.
Now we're going to add your name in a font of choice make sure to use a light color I used pink. I added some noise to do that go to Adjust-add/remove noise-add noise - uniform and monochrome checked -noise at 50 percent. Then add a gradient glow settings I used shown in the screen-shot below. Add a drop shadow I used H 2, V 2, Opacity 45, Blur 4 then changed the blend mode to Luminance L.
Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!

What you'll need:
You'll need a tube of choice I am using the awesome art of Camilla Drakenborg. You can purchase her art for signature tags at Up Your Art HERE.
Be sure to check out all the other great artists there!
Fonts of choice - I am using a pixel font for the copyright and Jenna Sue for the name.
A gorgeous FTU kit by A Taggers Scraps which is part of a blog-train but you can find the part I used HERE.
Mask of choice - mine is from weescottlass creations which you can find HERE.
I used mask number 219 you'll see on the right side they are bundled in bulk downloads :)
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow
Ready?
Let's get started!
Open up a new 700x700 transparent canvas I always crop it later so it will be smaller I just like enough room to work.
Now open up frame 5 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas re-size it if needed. Now take your magic wand hold down the shift key and click inside the 3 frames, then open up a paper of choice I used paper 12 re-size it a little then go to selections-invert and hit delete make sure you are on the paper layer. Move this layer below the frame layer. DO NOT DESELECT yet.
Open up your tube copy and paste it as a new layer in the frame I did this for all the frames but mirrored one of them. Merge them all together then duplicate that layer, then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3 and change the blend mode to soft light and the bottom layer to Luminance L. You can drop shadow the frame layer I used a drop shadow of Vertical and Horizontal set at 2, Opacitay at 45, Blur at 4 and color would be black.
I used paper 1 on the background and applied the mask then merged group.
Now to decorate your tag a little!
I used the cobweb on the frames re-sized it a little and used my eraser tool to erase some of it. I also used the skeleton and treestump re-sized and placed them where I thought they looked best. You can add the same drop shadow as above for the elements you just added.
Now in your font add your name and then a gradient glow, the settings I used are shown in the screen-shot below. Add the same drop shadow as mentioned about but then add it again with Vertical and Horizontal set at -2 and change the blend mode to Luminance L. You can rotate it a little if you'd like to as well.
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.

Eye Candy - Gradient Glow
Xero - Fritillary
VM Extravaganza - Ray Transmission
Penta.com - Jeans
Ready?
Let's get started!
Open up the template by Missy shift+d to duplicate the whole then then close off the original. I also re-sized the canvas to 750x750. To do that you go to image-canvas size and then type in your numbers and hit ok.
Delete the credit layer.
On the diamond layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new layer and flood fill with a color of choice. DO NOT deselect yet now we're going to add the Ray Transmission settings used are shown in the screen-shot below. Then we're going to add Xero-fritillary settings used shown in the screen-shot below repeat the settings a few times. Delete the original diamond layer.
Now I took my square preset shape and drew out a square about the size of the diamond making sure that I am only using the foreground not the background on the material palette. You're going to have to rotate it and play with it a little to get it to fit right, then add some noise. Adjust-add/remove-add noise-uniform and monochrome checked and 35% the percentage.
On the left circle layer selections-select all-float-defloat copy and paste your tube as a new layer I mirrored mine so it was the other way. Arrange to your liking then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Duplicate your tube layer then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3 and change the blend mode to screen the original tube layer set the blend mode to luminance. Repeat these steps for the right circle layer. Now once you're all done that take your preset shape tool set it to circle again only using the foreground not the background draw out a circle the same size as the one there. Repeat the noise settings above then duplicate it and mirror it so its on the other side.
Open up the city scape from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas making sure its behind the circle layers. Arrange it to your liking, I moved mine up a bit.
On the squares layers I merged them together then added penta.com jeans filter settings I used shown in the screen-shot below.
I closed off the other two square layers.
Open up halftone2 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size so it fits nicely making sure its below everything else. Duplicate it mirror and flip it.
Take cocktail drink 1 and martini glass 1 elements from the kit copy and paste them as a new layer onto your canvas re-size and arrange them to your liking.
Take the party flags from the kit re-size them so they fit nicely and move them up to where the city scape is make it look like they're hanging from the bulidings.
Open up your tube copy and paste it as a new layer duplicate it then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3 and change the blend mode to screen.
Open up the Girls Night word-art from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer over your tube re-size it so it fits that area nicely I made sure mine stayed within the diamond. Then change the blend mode to screen then duplicate it.
Add your name in a font of choice I used a foreground background gradient two colors from my tag. Then added a gradient glow and a drop shadow, my settings are 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.
