Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental

You will need:

Font of choice – I used Toledo, found

HERE

Scrapkit is Mini Zen Attitude.  This beautiful FTU kit is from Le Monde de Neferwene.

You can download this kit

HERE

Tube of choice. I used one by Camilla Drakenborg called Sacred Fay. You can purchase these fantastic tubes from Up Your Art

HERE

Mask of choice – I used 0Mask 046

I’m not sure where I got this mask, so if it is yours, please let me know and I will either remove it, or give credit.

You can download this mask.

HERE

Open a new raster 605 x 605 and fill white.

Layers – new raster layer.

Selections – Select All. Paste Paper 3 into selection.

Deselect.

Apply mask 0Mask 046

In layers palette, merge group.

Element 50 (water splash) – Resize 42%. Paste above mask layer and slide left. Stretch to top and right.

Sharpen twice.

Dropshadow.

Element 31 (Frame) – Resize 45% then 90%. Paste above the water splash layer.

Slide down slightly.  

Using your pick tool, make frame smaller by dragging the top down by about a quarter the size. The height isn’t really vital, so go with your instincts – you can always adjust it later.

Most of this tag will be created at the bottom of the canvas, so don’t worry if you see a large blank space at the top. It all gets adjusted towards the end.

Click inside the frame with your magic wand. Selections – modify – expand 6.
