Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using
a tube by Natacha Chohra
You can purchase the tube at
PSPTUBESTOP

Supplies:
Tube of choice
Scrap of choice.
I’m using one by Gothic Inspiratiosn
Called Christmas Memories.

Wordart by Word Art World

Plugin: Xero Porcelain

Open a 600x600 new image.
Open up your tube & scrap supplies.

Open a frame of choice.
Resize 70% or as needed.
Copy & paste the frame as
a new layer.

Using your magic wand,
& holding the shift button down,
click inside the areas of your frame.
Copy & paste a paper of choice.
Selections invert & press delete.

Move your paper layer under the
frame layer.
Select none.

Now select inside the top
part of your frame.
Expand as above.
Paste your tube into the frame.
Invert & delete.

Select none.
Repeat this with the bottom part
of the frame & tube.
Move the tube layers under the
frame layer.

Merge the two tube layers together.
Add a drop shadow to them.
2,2,50,5 Black.

Merge the tube layers with the
scrap paper layer in the frame.
Apply Xero Porcelain to the merged layers
Softness 76
Strength & Brightness 128.
Apply Xero Porcelain twice to this layer.

Open a tree branch element.
Resize 70%.
Paste on the bottom layer of your tag.

Position in the right hand side of
the top frame. You want leaves showing
along the frame.Duplicate the branch layer once
& flip it.

Now this is a little confusing so bear with me.
Duplicate the two branch layers & mirror each.
You want to have branches on both sides
of the frame
Once done, merge all the branch layers together.

Open a star element.
Resize 50% & 70% once each.
Paste along the frame once.

Open a button.
Resize 50% twice.
Paste on a corner of each frame once.

Now the tube I am using has another
layer of the dragon. I pasted the dragon
on the frame. You can use another element
of choice from the scrap if you don't have
this layer.

Open a sleigh bells ribbon.
Resize 50%.
Paste along the center of your frame.

Open up your wordart of choice
or add your own text.
I am using a wordart.
I resized 50% twice & 60% once.
Copy & paste as wanted.

Merge all layers visible.
Resize 88%
Add copyright info & name.
Save as png.
