___________________________
The Usual - except make the tag canvas 650 wide x 600 pixels
then
Open Frame4
Resize 70%
C&P
Place centrally to the canvas
So let's get this frame filled so we can fill the tag with goodies :D
Open two tubes of choice - facial close ups or large tubes if prefered
I used close ups
Then C&P
Place as liked
then use a Selection Delete with an expand of 14 - yes really lol! - and
Invert and delete the excess tube/s
and Crop the canvas to it's current size 650 x 600
then
Duplicate the tube layers
Adjust, Blur, Gaussian Blur 2.00
and change the Blend Mode to Soft Light
and
then
on the bottom tube layer - apply Xero Graphics Greytinter on the default settings
Paste a Paper from the kit - I used
Paper18 - resized to 70%
Move the paper under the tubes and repeat the Selection Delete as before
as you just want this paper as a background frame fill
(There is a space in the bottom middle of the frame - but this will be sorted in a minute lol!)
Open Paper 7
Resize as before
C&P
then apply my mask - Vix_Mask434
and
Layers, Merge, Merge Group
now open Paper 10
Resize and C&P as before
but this time - apply Mask...yeah, my mask 147 again hehe, I think
it compliments a lot of tags so I'm using it again, but feel free to use
a different one of your choice
and Merge Group as before
then
move the 2nd mask down the LP so it's under the 1st mask layer
Back to the elements...
Open Bow2
Resize 50%
C&P
and place in the bottom middle of the frames
Open the Candles - gorgeous!

C&P
Place on the left side of the frame
Duplicate
and move the duplicate over to the right of the frame

Resize 40%
C&P

I also added a subtle Constellation effect to the Leaves layer - but this is optional
Now add some dropshadows where you'd like
I added a drop of 2, 2, 45.00,
to
