Lets get rockin ..

Open a new canvas 600X600 white

Copy/paste a paper of your choice as a new layer. Move it to the top left corner of the canvas leaving a little white border around the edging.

Layer - New Mask Layer - From Image

Select Vix_Mask55 and click okay. Right click on the Mask Copy, delete and say yes. Then right click and go merge group.

Move the mask layer a little further up the top again so that you will see it after your tag is created.

Duplicate the mask layer, Image Flip, Image Mirror

X out background layer and merge visible. Un-X the white layer.

Pick two frames from the kit you are using.

Copy/paste the first frame to canvas.

Use your magic wand or freehand selection tool and draw around the frame keeping in the middle of it. See screenshot.

Now using a different paper copy/paste it over as a new layer. Selections - Invert and hit delete. Selections - Select none.

Move the paper layer below the frame.

Copy/paste a tube/s of your choice in the frame.

To make it look like your tubes are half in and half out of the frame, use your Freehand selection tool and select the bit that you want to have on top of the frame.

Remember if you use 2 different tubes in the one frame then you must do this on both layers.

Then Right click on the tube layer and select Promote Selection to Layer. Drag the Promoted Selection layer above the Frame layer.

Selections - Select None

X out the white background layer and the mask layer. Merge visible. Resize.

Copy/paste the other frame you chose, and repeat the same steps but use a different paper in this one.

Now just add all your embellishments. If you want to use the bit of notepaper then type your text on it and merge the layers onto the notepaper and then resize and place it.

Add your copywrite, and your watermark and lic. info.

Add your text etc. Delete the white background, and merge all the rest of the layers. And you're done.
