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!!

*Here are a couple more tags I made using this kit. There are so many items

within the kit, that it's hard to stop at just one!! I also made the cluster

frame from the kit*
