Take your Eraser tool and rease any excess Skyline Take your tube of choice. I used Patch by Garv and resized to 80 copy and paste. Make sure she is on Road1 add a slight drop shadow. Take element Suitcase, resize to 38 place in front of your tube, add a drop shadow Take element Sunglasses resize to 35, copy and paste on top of suitcase. take element Camera, resize to 25 copy and paste behind your tube to the bottom right. Take envelope1 resize to 30, copy and paste to bottom right over Roses Take element Map2 resize to 75, copy and paste behind your Frames, but that the top edges are showing. take element Staple, resize slightly maybe to 95, copy and paste to top of right frame, go to layers palette, duplicate staple, flip horizontal, place on left frame. Take element Keys, resize to 25, sharpen, copy and paste, place right underneath Staple on right frame Take element Envelope, resize to 25 copy and paste, place by right bottom over Roses. Take Motesign, resize to 40 copy and paste right behind your tube. Take element Eagle resize to 30 copy and paste and place by Motel Sign. Take element Sun, resize to 60, copy and paste and place behind your frames by Motel sign. take element Clouds, resize by 60 and copy and paste and place behind other side of Motel sign. Now for my favorite part!. Playing with blends and effects! We want to make the tube "POP OUT" of the tag and there are so many ways you can do this! So lets duplicate the tube by going to the Layers Palette-Right Click-Duplicate, ADJUST - Gausian Blur 3.0.  Go to your layers palette, Right Click PROPERTIES You can play around with these blends until you find the one you like the most! I chose the following: Blend Mode - Hard Light Opacity - 65 See the difference in your tube! To add a mask to your tag, chose your mask, I chose one from Rachel Go to Layer - New Raster Layer On your layers palette bring that later to the bottom Take your magic wand and click on blank layer Take your paper of choice, I chose Paper 11, copy and paste onto canvas Go to Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image On the drop down screen choose your mask - Merge Group, Deselect Place your mask as you want behind your tag. Again be creative, you can duplicate your mask to make it darker or you can flip vertical also.  And Last.....I love to blast my tag with either Radiance or Porcelain. This is entirely up to you though but I love playing around with filters. It really makes your tags POP!  So, lets merge everything. I am using Radiance so go to Effects - Xero - Radiance and I used these settings 76-70-109-67 Hit OK.  and Wala!  ADD YOUR NAME, YOUR COPYWRITE AND LICENSE INFO! Save your creation as a PNG! Hope you enjoyed this tut and you learned some new tricks!
