Filter by Caroline & Sensibility - D Lines

If you don't have this filter, you may use Filter penta.com - jeans instead

Optional filter Eye Candy 5 Nature: Snowdrift 

Font Fluid Christmas

Open New Image 700 x 700 px

Be sure the resolution is set to 72 px/inch & color depth 

is set to RBG 8 bits/channel - transparent checked. 

Flood fill white with flood fill tool 

Add new raster layer - Select All

Open paper 14, copy

Paste 'into' the selection. Deselect

Open Element 51, C/P above Paper 14

Select All & invert selection

back to Paper layer, press delete on keyboard

Deselect & delete element 51.

Open element 50, resize width to 700 px

C/P

For this portion will be making our circular frame.

open element 96 resize 75%, all layers Unchecked

Select All, float selection, defloat

Add a new raster layer

Flood fill this layer with #5b0308

Deselect

We need to delete the area over the cluster ornament

so draw a rectangular selection (feather 0)

around this ornament on the red circle layer

& delete. 

Essentially this action removes the bottom right corner of the circle.

Duplicate this red circle & rotate copy 25-30 degrees to left.

Be sure the two red circles overlap each other to create full circle

merge the two red circles together.

Center the red circle over the black stripe element 96

then move this layer below element 96 in layers palette.

select element 96 with move tool, arranging it slightly downward & to right

off-centering it relation to the red circle with no gaps.

See preview below

When satisfied, merge the two layers together.

C/P & arrange as per reference tag.

Using magic wand, click inside circle frame

modify expand selection by 5 px

Add new raster layer

Open paper 15 and copy/paste 'into' the selection

Move paper layer below frame

Open Main tube resized 55%

C/P over paper layer but below frame

The selection should still be active

arrange tube to left of circle - Press delete on keyboard

to remove excess tube.

Deselect. Drop opacity to 65%

Duplicate tube layer

Apply filter Caroline & Sensibility D-Lines

setting 40/7

(or if unavailable, use penta.com - jeans)

Change blend mode to 'screen' 

Add element 57 resized 75%

C/P to right of frame, sharpen

Using pick tool (deformation) make tree slightly narrower

by moving the 'side' square markers inward

Open element 17, resize 75%

C/P on top of Red tree

image - flip horizontal (mirror), sharpen

duplicate 

on original white tree layer (bottom one) 

add light dropshadow eg. 1/1/35, blur 3 color black

Add element 86, resize 75% 

C/P to right of white xmas tree

duplicate poinsettia & mirror, placing to left 

of original poinsettia

Add element 72, resized 50%

Arrange to bottom left of frame, duplicate, flip horizontal (mirror)

and offset slightly

Add element 89 - 15%, place to bottom right, duplicate, mirror

Open element 27, resize 50%

C/P to right of image - flip horizontal (mirror in place)

Add element 88 - resize 30% C/P

Element 26 - 25% C/P

Element 69 - 30% C/P rotate 80 degrees to left

Arrange next to tree stomp

Add main tube resized to approx 28%

C/P

If using same tube, I darkened the overall color of the tube

using Adjust: brightness/contrast - Levels

Firstly duplicate main tube

on copy of tube layer

use brightness/contrast Levels

setting 67, 167, 255

This darkens all parts of the tube

which makes the face & skin a touch too dark.

Using eraser tool, size 100, hardness 50, density 100

dab the eraser tool over the face & skin areas 

to erase some of the dark skin tones.

Add drop shadows to all layers except

the white tree layers, bottom paper masked layer &

grunge brush layer (element 50)

Note: Main tube layer - always add the drop shadow

on its own layer by checking box 

'shadow on new layer' in drop shadow option box.

This allows you to use eraser tool to remove

any unwanted dropshadow eg. bottom of main tube

beneath snow portion

Play around by darkening some of the other elements

using the same brightness/contrast 'Levels' setting as above 

This gives the entire tag that crisp, balanced color tone

It's purely subjective though. 

If you wish to resize tag, do so now before adding

copyright as resizing will distort the copyright.

Add copyright, license & url

Add name. D/S

As an option, add EyeCandy 5 Nature - Snowdrift to your name

setting 'Small First Flakes'

To test overall placement of elements so none are cut-off,

add a new raster layer ABOVE the white background

Flood fill black or any dark color.

This will show if any of the white elements extend beyond the image

Close or delete white & black background layers.

Merge visible, crop merged opaque

and save as a PNG.

Select 'Screen' layer of copy of tube

create 'New' adjustment layer - Hue & Saturation

Change sliders to Hue +12, Saturation - 38, Lightness +5

This layer saturates the tube to match the elements in the tag

Merge 4 bottommost layers

(tree, green flower, yellow tagback & brush)

If you used a white background, close background before merging

Select screen layer of copy of tube

I added a pattern to give the tube & elements texture

& a softened variance to the overall image

Open pattern supplied, C/P

use deformation tool to cover entire

area of tag or duplicate pattern instead

change blend mode of pattern to 'overlay'

back to merged layers

use magic wand to select area 'outside' of the merged layer

return to pattern layer and press delete on keyboard

Deselect

*Be sure this pattern layer is below the Hue/Saturation layer*

On the pattern layer, use the eraser tool sz 150, hardness 50

erase any part of the pattern you do not wish to show through

eg. yellow area - on right side of tube

Add copyright, license & url of image
