This tutorial was written April 29th, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
It’s assumed that you have working knowledge on how to resize and working with layers.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.

The supplies you need:
Any tube you decide on. I’m a gorgeous tube by Tony Mauro at My Tubed Art.
I also used a PTU kit called “Metallica” by CBJ. This kit is sold exclusively at Zindy-Zone.
Materials you need:
A masks of choice. I used “Mask34" by Sophisticat Simone.
A font that you like. I used “KG Empire of Dirt”.
Eye Candy 6 - Perspective Shadow
MuraMeister - Copies
Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow (Optional)

My settings for drop shadow: 3, 3, 70, 8, Black.

Make a new canvas, 700 x 700 pixels.
Paste Tripleframe as a new layer. Resize it down to 60% and rotate it 90 degrees to the left.
Paste your tube above the frame layer. Duplicate the tube layer and place one layer underneath the frame.
Add Perspective shadow to the bottom tube layer using the Blurry setting and this:
Picture
On the top layer, erase her hand and the part of the arm where the frame is. See my tag for reference.
Also make sure that you erase any part of the tube that is sticking out below that frame.
We want her to pop out of the frame.
With your Magic Wand active, click inside all the 3 frames.Expand the selection by 5 and Invert.
Paste a paper below the frame. I used Paper6. Hit Delete and select none.

Add a drop shadow to the frame, hide the bottom layer (if you have a white background) and merge visible.

Paste Flower below the frame. Resize it to 50%.Place it a little to the left.
Paste GemFloral below the flower. Resize it to 60%, mirror and place it towards the right side.
Paste Ribbon2 above the frame layer. Resize it to 50% and place it at the bottom left. Duplicate, mirror, flip
and place it at the bottom right. We'll move them both in place in a sec.
Paste MetalHeart above the ribbons and resize it down to 50%. Move the ribbons a bi so they follow the MetalHeart.
See my tag for reference.
Paste ChromeFlower as the top layer. Go to MuraMeister - Copies and add these settings:
Picture
Move this layer below the GemFloral.
Go to the top ribbon layer and paste Flower2. Resize it to 50% and flip it. Place it on the right
side of the frame. See my tag for reference.

Paste CharmBow2 and resize it down to 40%. Place at the bottom left.
Paste Butterfly3 and resize it to 40%. Rotate it 20 degrees to the left.
Go to Adjust - Sharpness and choose Sharpen.

Add a drop shadow to all the layers, except the frame layer.
Crop your tag with Merge Opaque.
Go to the bottom layer and add a new raster. Select All and paste a paper into the selection. I used Paper5.
Select none.
Add your mask and merge group. You can look at the tutorial on how to do it HERE.
Duplicate the mask layer 3 times and merge the mask layers together.

Activate your Text Tool and write your name or a saying. Convert to raster.
If you want to, you can pick a colour from the tag ( I chose a dark yellow) and add a Gradient Glow to the name with the Fat setting:
Picture
(The colours in the screenshot is from another tutorial)

Add a drop shadow to the name.
Resize your tag. I resized mine to 500px on the longest side.
Add your copyright info and save as png or jpg.

Thanks for trying!

This tutorial was written April 29th, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
It’s assumed that you have working knowledge on how to resize and working with layers.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.

The supplies you need:
Any tube you decide on. I’m a gorgeous tube by Tony Mauro that you can purchase at My Tubed Art.
I also used a PTU kit called “Fresh Day” by Albina Design. This was a freebie when I got it, but  you can purchase it at Digital-Crea.

Materials you need:
A masks of choice. I used “WSL_Mask345" by Weescotlass. She got tons of awesome masks.
A font that you like. I used “Janda Cheerful Script”.
Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow (Optional)

My settings for drop shadow: 3, 3, 70, 8, Black.

Make a new canvas, 700 x 700 pixels.
Add a new raster and go to Selections and choose Select All. Paste element 61 into the selection and select none.
Paste the tube as a new layer. Place it towards the right.
Paste element 7 as a new layer. Resize it down to 25% and mirror it.
Place is so that it's right on top of the tree on the left side on the paper (element 61).
Activate the eraser and remove all parts that is in front of the tube at the bottom.
We want it to look like the swing is actually hanging in the tree. Do not remove the green parts of the tree.
Mine looks something like this when I hide the paper layer:
Picture
Add a drop shadow to the tube layer.
Now it's time to have some fun and add some elements.
I have listed which one I used and what I resized them down to. Please see my tag for placement if nothing is stated:

Element 27 - 15%
Element 45 - 15% mirrored - bottom right corner
Element 47 - 15%
Element 21 - 8%
Element 51 - 15%
Element 9 - 8% - placed underneath element 45.
Duplicate this layer and resize it down to 75%.
Duplicate again and repeat the resize.
Element 38 - 15% - underneath the tube layer.
Element 35 - 8% - bottom right corner.

Add a drop shadow to all the layers, except tube layer, erased tree layer and element 38.
Go to the paper layer and add your mask. Merge group.
If you use a different mask, you might have to erase a little bit more from the erased tree we did earlier.
Hide the bottom layer (if you got a white background) and
crop your tag with Merge Opaque.

Activate your Text Tool, find the font you want to use and type out the name.
Convert to raster.
I had both fore- and background set to black with these settings:
Picture
I always like to see the name "pop" so I used Gradient Glow with these settings:
Picture
The colour codes I used comes from the background: #5bc31d and #c2e822.
Don't forget to add a drop shadow to the name.
Resize your tag and add the proper copyright.

Save as png or jpg and you're done!

Thanks for trying my tutorial.
