TUTORIAL

Open up Template # 228

Delete the top layer marked Denz Designz

Open your tube and copy/paste as new layer - making sure this is your top layer, resizing and placing as desired. Now hide this layer until later.

Duplicate this layer - and move it down to sit over your small squares layer. Position your tube so you have it showing as you like. Making sure you are on your small squares layer, use your Magic Wand and click anywhere outside the squares, moving back up to your tube layer = then hit delete. Your tube is now trimmed to fit.

Move back down to your small squares layer and add Gradient Glows :

Fat (white) and the Medium (black) - I used width of 3.68

Copy and paste your tube again - placing this just above your Circles layer. Duplicate and place your tubes over the circles until you have them placed as desired - use your Magic Wand as before, and then move back to your tube layers and delete so the tube is now trimmed onto the circles.

Repeat your Gradient Glow as before

Now move to your Black Rectangle layer.

Go to Effects/ Texture Effects/Weave with the following settings

Gap - 2, Width - 6, Opacity - 1, Weave/Gap Color - White, Fill Gaps Ticked

Add the same Gradient Glow as before

On to your thin White Strip - add a black Gradient Glow

Move to your White Rectangle Shape - go to Effects/Texture Effects/Blinds with these settings

Width - 4, Opacity - 29, Color - Black, Horizontal and Light from Left - Ticked

Now it's time to add your elements from your Kit.

This is where you make the tag your own ... but if you want to use the elements I did ... here they are

* Coffin

* Bow 1

* Clock

* Doodle

* Candle Holder 2

Adjust Hue to 11 and Saturation to 13 on all elements

Add sparkles (if you are using them) as your top layer

Add your name and all © Information - save as a PNG and you are done

Open a 650 x 650 transparent canvas.

Using your preset shape - draw out an oval/circle with a color that matched your tube.

Apply Eye Candy HSB Effect - default settings, only altering the Width and Height to approx 100. Choose Random seed until you get the hue pattern you like.

Now go to Effects/Texture Effects/Blinds - and apply settings as below

Apply a Gradient Glow - FAT  and then Medium in a color of your choice.

Back to your Preset Tool Shape.

Choose a color from your tube - and draw out a rectangle - check my tag for size guides.

Apply PentaCom Dot and Cross effect - default settings.

Add the same Gradient Glows that you applied to the oval/circle.

Once again - Preset Tool shape and draw out a small circle - check my tag once again.

Duplicate and Mirror, then merge layer down.

Apply HSB Noise to these small circles, and same Blinds effect, but untick the Horizontal box.

Copy and paste your tube - resizing to taste - and place over one of your circles.

Duplicate and mirror, then merge layer down.

Choose your Magic Wand ... and move back to the small circle layer, and click anywhere outside the circles - the marching ants should now be showing up. Move back to tube layer, and hit delete. Your tubes are now trimmed and sitting perfectly on your circles.

Change Blend to Luminance Legacy, lower Opacity to 62.

Merge this layer down - your circle and tube layers are now 1 layer.

Add Gradient Glow if desired.

Preset Tool once again - this time using the Rectangle shape.

Draw out a small rectangle in your color of choice - check my tag for sizing.
