2 Tube of choice 1 close up FROM THE SAME ARTIST

I used the beautiful art work of Keith Garvey

This tut was made using psp 9 but any version will work

Now on to the tut

Open my template
shift d to duplicate
close the original
canvas size I make mine 800x800 pixels so I have room for error

Now to the frame back
floodfill with color of choice

Now select the oval back layer

settings


Now add 2 layers for both the masks
floodfill layers with whatever color you want
Add mask 1 to your first layer
Add mask 2 to your second layer
(I usually merge the groups when Im done so
I don't get all mixed up with the layers)
position them how you'd like them on the tag

Copy and paste your first tube
place where you'd like it on the tag
plugin Porcelain

then drop shadow of choice
now copy and paste your second tube under the frame layer
line it up how you'd like it in the frame erase excess
( I usually use the magic wand in the midlle of the frame
then selection modify expand by 2 then invert delete on the tube layer )
