I did this template as a tag challenge in CDO Group. I figured we are all siggie piggies
so I would go along that route for the template lol.
Here is a preview of the template


and you can dowload it here
You are welcome to use in challenges just be sure
to send them to my blog to find it.


Here is also a tag I did with the template. I used 2 piggies on it by Maxine Gadd
and a matching IB Scrap by Ladyhawwk Designs. You can find both available at
CDO.

A note about this tutorial. This tutorial came out of a tag challenge. The challenge was to use a quote & create an uplifting, inspiring tag. I really wanted to use this tube because the horse has patches/spots like I do. See I have Vitligo and my skin is two colors. You can read more about it here
As I couldn't find anything to put the tube with, I decided to design my own
tutorial.

Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using a
tube by Zindy. You can purchase this
tube at her store.
Zindy Zone

Supplies:
Tube of choice.
Plugins:
VM Toolbox
AAA Frames Foto Frame

Open a 600x250 new image.
Open up a tube of choice.I suggest
a tube sitting as if in a corner.

Fill your new image with a
light grey or color of choice
from tube.

Resize your tube 80%.
Paste on a side of choice
on your new image.
I pasted mine on the left side.

Select your selection tool.
Select a very narrow horizontal rectangle
near the bottom of the tag.
Layers -New raster layer.
Fill with a color slightly darker
than original fill color.

This should give the illusion of a
wall & floor edge.
