Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using a
tube by Arthur Crowe.
You can purchase the tube at
his store.

Supplies:
Tube of choice
Scrap of choice.
I am using a matching kit called Beauty
Charleston by Desirena Designs. It is available
at Arthur Crowe's store also.
Mask MC_Mask10 by Melissa Creationz

crop later.

Open two frames from the matching kit.
Copy & paste the pink & black frame first.
Then copy & paste the pearl frame on top
of it.
Merge the two frame layers together.

Click inside the frames with your magic wand
tool.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer.
Selections invert & press delete.
Move the paper under the frame layer.

Paste as a new layer between the paper
& frame layers.
Press delete. Select none.

This may vary depending on where your
tube is.

Resize each 50%.
Position side by side in front of the tag.
Open a cupcake element.
Resize 40%. Position in front of the bottle & glass.

Open beads element. Paste on either side of the
bottle,glass and cupcake elements.
I pasted on one side then duplicated & mirrored
to the other side.

Resize all layers 88%.
Add artist copyright info and name to the tag.
If you don't wish to animate, then stop here & save
your tag.
To animate, continue on below.

Open animation shop.
Copy & paste your close up/paper layer into AS.

Effects - insert image effect

Copy & paste the background, mask layer & frame over
to AS. Paste as a new animation. Hold Ctrl L down to duplicate
this to 6 frames. You will have to repeatedly press L to do this.

Once you have 6 frames, select all.
On your animation close up, select all & copy.
Move over to the center of the frame
on the tag.

Once you have that all set, Copy and paste
the rest of your tag from psp.

My tag ended with 2 frames.
If happy, save as gif.
