The Usual


Open NP Doodle Big

C&P

Place on the canvas


Open NP Butterfly1

Image, Resize 10%

C&P

Place as mine


Open NP Old Clock

Image, Resize 30%

C&P

Place as mine


Open your Close Up

C&P

Paste as a new layer

over the Clock

Xero - Greytinter on the default settings

then

Drop the Opacity

so you can see the clockface underneath

and

take Magic Wand with a Feather of 2

Click outside the Clock face on the clock layer

then

back to the Close Up layer

and hit Delete twice

Selections None


Now Drop the Opacity a bit more on your Close Up layer

I went down to 34


Paste your tube as a new layer now

and move over to the right of the tag

Either resize if needed or

Erase some of the tube if needed

I wanted to keep my tube large

but still wanted the background to show so

just see what it looks like for you


Once you've placed your tube

Xero Greytinter as before

and

Shadow of your choice


Note: If you, like me, keep the tube

largish, but erase the bottom

Use NP Ruffle, Resize 60%

and paste this as a new layer

over the tube layer

so it hides the erased bottom :)


Open the Champagne Bottle

Image, Resize 50%

C&P

Place as mine


Open Flute Glass

C&P

Place as Mine

Duplicate

and move the other one over to the right


Open Paper 4

C&P

And Move down the layers to

just above the White Back

Apply Chelle's mask 148

Layers, Merge Group

and

Image, Resize 90%

and move down the tag canvas a bit if needed

then

on the Mask layer

Xenofex 2 Constellation

Look for the Preset called It's Full of Stars

and Drop the Overall Star Density to 1

and

make sure in the Background Fill section

that Keep Original Image is chosen

OK to apply


Open the Rose

Image, Resize 20%

C&P

Place as mine


Now

Apply a shadow to the

Rose

Bottle

Butterfly

Ruffle

Use, 2, 2, 45.00, 5.00 Black

On the Clock layer

use 0, 0, 40.00, 10.26 Black


Now

Using Black Fill and No stroke

Take a favourite font

and add some words behind your tube


I used

Ready for Romance (!) lol!

But use whatever you like

and then dropshadow

1, 1, 20.00, 2.00 Black

for the words

Not too blurry :)


OK

Now your name

Shadow as liked


and add artist info as needed etc


Crop the tag now to elimate some of the no longer needed space

Delete White Back

Save as .PNG

Have fun!
