Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white, (you can ALWAYS resize later, I like having plenty of room to work) Open xcd-ahe-paper7 resize by 19% c/p as a new layer and apply a mask of choice, I used Vix_mask124 Now flip this layer, Now open xcd-ahe-paper1 resize this by 19% c/p as a new layer and apply the same mask, I turned the opacity down on these two mask layers to around 50% then also added noise to each at 100% Now lets open xcd-ahe-candycornframe c/p as a new layer and rotate to the right by 90%, now resize this by 36% now grab your raster deform tool and squish it a tiny bit on each side, Now open xcd-ahe-frame1 c/p as a new layer resize this by 80% now I changed the color a tiny bit on mine using hue and saturation set at , 33 and 169, Now grab your magic wand and click inside the frame, expand by 10, open xcd-ahe-paper1 resized by 19% and c/p as a new layer, I applied Vix_Mask87 with the invert transparancy box ticked leave selected, now go selections invert and hit delete, invert your selection again add a new raster layer BELOW this mask layer and fill with #e0b54e Select none. Now lets open xcd-ahe-flower3 c/p as a new layer below your frame layers but above your 2 mask layers (NOT the one we JUST did), resize this by 35% now I used gamma correction to make mine just a tiny bit darker set at 0.80 Now open xcd-ahe-flower1 c/p as a new layer and resize this one by 35% place this near your other flower, one should peek out on the left side the other should peek out the left side TOP, Now lets open xcd-ahe-ribbon5 c/p as a new layer bring this layer to the top and resize this by 20% and place at the top of your top frame, now open xcd-ahe-ribbon1 c/p as a new layer image mirror and then resize this by 10% and place in the center of the bow of the other ribbon, now open xcd-ahe-button3 c/p as a new layer and then resize this by 10% and place in the center of the ribbons Now open xcd-ahe-bat1 c/p as a new layer and resize this by 15% and then image rotate to the left by 12% place at the top left of your frame, Now lets open xcd-ahe-monster2 c/p as a new layer and resize by 13% place at the bottom right of the frame, open xcd-ahe-candycorn and c/p as a new layer resize this by 15% and place in front of your monster, now grab the raster deform tool and on the monster layer squish him JUST a bit so it does not show from behind the edges of the candycorn Now turn the opacity of the monster layer down to about 82%, when you are happy with your tag apply a dropshadow of choice and a tube of choice, hide the white background layer and merge visible (I added a gradient glow to my bat and my frames as well and did NOT dropshadow the monster) I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info, it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right information and Save the way you prefer to save tags, I hope you enjoyed this tut smiles christy Ü
