06.  Paste Element 27 on to the canvas.  Place it on the left side behind the other elements.

07.  Paste Element 32 on to the canvas.  Re size it by 65% once.  Rotate it 15 degrees to the right.  Place it on the bottom right.

08.  Paste Element 34 on to the canvas.  Place it behind the other elements.

09.  Paste Element 35 on to the canvas.  Place it on the bottom and on top of the elements.  Duplicate it five times and merge them all together.

On the paper select all, float, defloat.  Paste a tube of choice on to the canvas.  Re size it to desired size.  Change the blend mode to one that fits the tube.
Merge the frame, paper and tube together.  To do this without the rest of it getting the same blend make sure the only elements showing are these three.  Now merge visible.  Make sure to have the rest visible again after you do this.
Re size it by 65% twice.  Place it on the bottom right.  You might need to move the other elements around a little so they can be seen.  I ended up putting the mask in front of the frame, flipping the cat and placing it on the left and behind the frame, and moving the butterfly up to the right a little bit.

14.  Paste another tube (by the same artist) on to the canvas.  Re size it as needed.  Change the blend mode to soft light.  Duplicate it and change the blend mode on this one to Luminance(L).  
Back on the bottom layer(the mask group), select all, float, defloat.  Add a new layer and flood fill it with white.  Change the blend mode to Luminance.  Add copyright.

15.  Add name and save as a pspimage.  Add any effects you would like.  Crop and re size the tag as needed.  Save as a png and you are done.

Lets Begin

New canvas 800X600.

Select all and paste PP1 into selection and deselect.
Elements *§
* All elements are resized by 75% unless otherwised stated.
§See my tag for placement of the elements.

1.  Paste Element 18 mirror resize once and place to the left.  Just a little bit from the bottom.

2.  Paste Element60 resize twice and place just above Element18

3.  Paste Mask1 resize and move to the bottom right.

4.  Paste Element 95 resize twice place just above the water part of Mask1.  Duplicate, mirror, and move to the right.

5.  Paste Element 77 and move to the bottom right just above the Mask layer,

6.  Paste Element 53.  Move in front of Element18.  Resize and rotate as needed.  If you have any over hang go to Element 18 select all float defloat invert and back on Element 53 hit delete.  Just experiment with this part to you get the result you want.  If you want them brighter duplicate the layer a few times and merge the copies down to the original.

7.  Paste Element 121 resize twice and move to the top right.

12.  Add name(s) and any effects you want to the name I use Eye Candy 4000's Gradient Glow (I use this for just about every tag for the name and the copyright, it helps make it pop.  And it also makes the copyright more visible).  Now I also add an inner bevel and a drop shadow to the names you can add these if you want with settings of choice.

Thank you very much for taking a look at my tut.
