The creation of this tutorial is my own any resemblance to
any other tutorial is strictly a coincidence.

This tutorial was written using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is
for those with a working knowledge of Photoshop. This tutorial can be adapted
for anyone with a working knowledge of PSP.
Before we start, I would like to remind you to save
frequently. This is in case your program closes on you as mine is known to do. J
I save as a .psd file. This keeps your
elements in layers instead of merging everything the way a .png file does. I
also I do not say copy and paste your element onto your canvas. In photoshop,
it is possible to drag and drop. But if you are more comfortable copying and
pasting, then by all means do what is easier for you. I also use a white
background while I’m making my tag but I delete it when I am finished.
Supplies needed:
Scrappin’ Krazy Designs, Steampunk Cloud scrap kit. You can
find where to buy it here.
The tube I’m using is Michael Calandra’s Time Traveler. You
can get it here
at CDO. Remember, you cannot use any tubes without a license.

her TOU if you use her masks.

though.

your liking. Lower your opacity to 67%.

canvas. Add a drop shadow.
Open your tube. Duplicate twice. Using your original copy,
place it in the middle of your canvas. Now, take one copy of your tube and
resize it placing it behind the frame. I took the part of the tube that had the
machine with it. I positioned it so it covered the open areas of the frame.

You will see the marching ants inside it. Go to Select/Modify/Expand. Setting
will be 5.

Delete.

inside the middle of the frame.
Go to Select/Inverse.
