Oh Happy Day
You Will Need
*Paint Shop Pro - I used PSPX but any version will work just as well.
Tube of choice. I used the fabulous work of Keith Garvey which can be found here.
*Scrap Kit of choice - I used a fabulous PTU kit from CBJ called Happy Days,
which can be purchased here.
* Filters needed - Penta.com & Alien Skin Xenofex 2 - Constellation.
*Mask of choice - I used 2 (you can just use the one).
*Font of choice. - I used 1 BeanSprout DNA
Lets get started
1. Open a new transparent background 550 x 550
2. This next step is purely as a personal choice. You dont need to use two masks. For the first mask. Fill the canvas with a colour of choice and apply your mask. Layers - Load/Save Mask - Load Mask from Disk - Select your mask and OK. In the layers palette, highlight the main image and then go to the top of your window and select Layers - Merge - Merge Group.
3. Add a new layer. Layers - New Raster Layer - Call this one Secondary Background Layer. Select the mask you want for this one and merge layer as instructed above. Now to apply the filter. Go to Effects - Plugins - Alien Skin Xenofex 2 - Constellation. Apply the settings as shown below. You can have a play around and see what appeals to you.
4. Place your frame and elements on the background. Next select your Rectangle Tool and set your background palette to a colour that will compliment your tube and draw out a shape to the size you desire.
5. Now apply your filter to this Rectangle. I converted the rectangle to raster layer and then applied Penta Dot filter.Effects - Plugins - Filters Unlimited - Penta.com - Colour Dot - with the following settings.
6. Next add your tube and position to your satisfaction. Now add the © Copyright information.
7. Next I then selected a paper from the kit and selected it as the background colour in the Materials Palette. I then selected the Eclipse tool and drew out an oval shape which I softened by adding a bit of a blur to it. Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur and Radius set to 25 - OK.
8. Add your name with font of choice my font was set to 55 - Anti Alias Sharp in the colour #b84a83. Now save your tag as a JPG or PNG file.
You are now finished.
I hope you enjoyed doing my tutorial.

Spring Fever
What you will need
* Paint Shop Pro. I used PSPX but any version will do the job just fine.
* Tube of choice. I used the fantastic work of Legends Art which can be found here.
* Scrap kit of choice. I used the fabulous Spring is Sweet by CBJ and it can be found here.
* Font used - Adios Script Pro but you can use any font of choice.
* Mask of choice. I used dmsk0006.
Lets get started
1. Open all your elements you want to use in your tag and hold down the shift key + D to copy your elements and close the originals.
2. Open a new transparent image 500 x 500. Select a colour you would like to use for the background. I used CBJ_SIS_Paper 13. Select your Mask you want to use and apply it to your tag. I reduced the transparency to 50%
3. Place your element you want to use on the background layer and resize to fit the tag. I used CBJ_SIS_Leaves.
4. Next select your Rectangle Tool with the foreground set to a darker contrasting colour to the Background colour. I used #adc5ea for the foreground stroke width set to 3 with #e0eaff set for the background colour and draw out a rectangle to a size you are happy with.
5. Now place your elements on your tag till you are satisfied with the way it looks.
6. Now place your tube on your tag adding a slight drop shadow to give it more of a deeper feel. I used Vertical 2 - Horizontal -2 with Opacity at 45 blur 2 black as the colour. Arange as you would like it.
Now add the © copyright information.
7. Add your name with your font of choice and save your tag as either a PNG or JPG.
Here is another version of the tag but with another of my favourite artists Elias Chatzoudis.
You are now finished.
