~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Living in Florida I can’t resist any tropical themed tags.
This one is quick and easy with great results.

Open up a 700 X 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Frame 1 as a new layer.
Resize 80%
Use your Magic Wand and click inside the frame - be sure to click within the plant also so you won’t have “holes” in your paper.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 6.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.

Add your embellishments. I used:
Flower 1: Resize 70%
Flower 2: Resize 40%
Butterfly 1 & 4: Resize 40% Free rotate 30 degrees
Fan 2

Highlight your white background.
Select All.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.
Apply the mask.
Resize 85%
Merge Group.

Add your copyrights.

Add your name.
Give it a slight inner bevel:

Crop your image.

Resize all layers 90%.
