This kit has a huge range of 66 elements and 22 different papers to choose from. 

Great for those tag creations with a touch of Blue to them.

My newest scrap kit is now available at Digi Fox's Studios and can be found Here.

It can also be found at the Scrap Candy Store Here.

You will Need:

You will need Paint Shop Pro to create this tag or Photoshop.  I used PSP XI but any version will work.

You will need a tube of choice. I used the gorgeous artwork from Sue Rundle-Hughes to create this forum set.  You will need to purchase her images from PSP Tube Stop and you will need a license to use them in your tag creations.

You don't need a scrap kit for this tutorial, I just grabbed some elements I had on my PC to add to the tag.  If you would like to use a kit, I have a FTU kit here on my blog which is called Spring Delight and can be found HERE.

Filters used: - Foto Frames AAA Frames & Filters Unlimited - Toadies - Weaver.

Font used was Baroque Script.  You can get it HERE.

Lets Start:

Open a new canvas 600 x 200 and flood fill with a colour that compliments your tube.

Open your tube and copy and paste to your canvas. Duplicate your tube layer and hide the top layer.

Select your bottom tube layer and go to your Filters Unlimited - Toadies - Weaver.  Default settings.

If your background doesn't meet the edges, duplicate this layer and position so that the background is covered.  Merge these two layers together and duplicate once again.  

Select the bottom layer and change the Blend Mode to Darken. Now select the top layer and change the blend mode to soften.  Hide all other layers and then merge visible.

Unhide the tube layer and apply a drop shadow of choice.  I applied the following settings.

Position the tube where you like and apply your elements to your tag.

Add your © information in a clear font.  I used Ambitsek.  You can download it HERE.

Add your name to your tag and apply whatever filter you choose to it, I applied a drop shadow as applied to the tube.

Move your © Layer so that it is visible on your tag.  You can hide this layer till we have applied the Foto Frame filter to your tag.  

Merge all visible layers and then go to Effects - Plugins - AAA Frames. Using the following settings.  As shown in the image below.

Unhide your Copyright layer and position where you can see it clearly.

Now save your tube as a JPG.

You are now finished.

You will need:

Paint Shop Pro. I used PSP XI but any version will work just as well.
Tube of choice.  I used the artwork of Arthur Crowe.  You will need a license to use his art. You can purchase his tubes from Arthur Crowe's Factory and once you have purchased his art, you can apply for a license.
Filters Used: VM Experimental, Xenofex 2 - Electrify & AAA Frames - Foto Frame.
Font used: Baroque Script.

Lets begin:

Open a new canvas 600 x 250  Flood fill with a colour to match your tube. Rename this layer Background.
Open your tube and copy to your tag.  Duplicate this tube and hide the first tube layer.

Select your second tube layer and place in the center of your tag.  Go to Effects - Plugins - VM Experimental - Needles and Pins with the default settings.  Name this layer Needles&Pins.

Duplicate your Needles & Pins layer and select the top layer.  Go to Effects - Texture effects - Sandstone with the following settings.

Change the colour to one that compliments your tube.  I chose #8d7d77. Then reduce the opacity on this layer to 35. Apply noise to the top layer.  Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise - Uniform selected and Noise at 35% with Monochrome selected.

Keep the top layer selected and now go to Effects - Xenofex 2 - Electrify with the following settings.

Unhide your tube layer and duplicate so that there are three images.  Move the two duplicates to either side of the centre image, arrange so that they are positioned differently. Merge these two copies down and then change the blend mode to Dodge. Now position the middle tube where you like.

Go to Layers - Merge - Merge All (Flatten).  

Copy your tag by holding the Ctrl & D together.  Select your Crop tool and crop the duplicate tag to the size of roughly 150 x 150.  Using your ruler to do this. 

Once you have the selection to where you desire, crop your tag.

Now apply your AAA Frames filter with the following settings.

Apply the AAA Frame to both the signature tag and the Avatar.

Add your © copyright information and position so it is clearly legible.

Now add your name and save as either PNG or JPG.

You are now finished.
