Please do not copy my tutorials to anyplace, please link back to my blog! Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white, (you can ALWAYS resize later, I like having plenty of room to work) Open ial_mes_paper02 resize by 18% c/p as a new layer and apply a mask of choice, I used CandysTreatsMask 3B open ial_mes_clay_swirl1 c/p as a new layer and resize this by 55% arrange towards the bottom of the mask, now lets open ial_mes_glass_empty c/p as a new layer and resize this by 15% arrange to your liking, now open ial_mes_straw c/p as a new layer, resize by 15% arrange this layer below your glass layer, and rotate to the right by 18% and place it "in" your glass, now open ial_mes_cocktail_umbrella c/p as a new layer, resize by 12% now rotate to the left by 55% arrange so it lays at the bottom of your glass, now open ial_mes_melon4 c/p as a new layer and resize this by 8% arrange to your liking, now open ial_mes_melon1 c/p as a new layer, arrange this layer to right above your swirl layer, and resize by 10% arrange with your other melon, now open ial_mes_summer_horiz_shadow c/p as a new layer bring this layer to the top and resize by 10% arrange to your liking now open ial_mes_melon_horiz_shadow c/p as a new layer and resize this by 10% arrange with your other wordart. open ial_mes_clay_swirl2 c/p as a new layer resize this by 22% arrange this layer to right above your mask layer, now rotate this to the left by 3% and then image mirror, Now lets open ial_mes_lantern c/p as a new layer resize this by 15% arrange so it "hangs" from your clay pole Now open ial_mes_seeds, c/p as a new layer and resize this by 15% arrange this layer below your melon slice but above your whole melon, I duplicated mine 2 times to spread across the bottom of the tag. Now open ial_mes_leaf,c/p as a new layer and resize this by 8% now rotate this to the right by 90% move this layer below your word art layer, paste it again resize by 8% and now rotate to the left by 45% now paste it once more resizing by 8% and rotate to the left by 18% arrange to your liking (or use my tag as a guide) Now add a drop shadow of choice to your elements, I did not dropshadow the glass, add your tube of choice when you are happy with your tag hide the white background layer and merge visiable, In the Gorjuss version I also used ial_mes_summer_hat resized by 15% as this tube does not have legs so wanted to hide that fact. 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
