Any resemblance to another

tutorial is purely coincidental.

I am using the tube Pumpkin by

Rebecca Sinz.

Plugins: 

Mura's Meister Copies

VM Natural: Welder

EyeCandy 4000: Glass

EyeCandy 4000: Gradient Glow

Mask: AR315_CM_mask141

from Creative Misfits Blog.

I'm not sure which posts the mask I used came from.

Open a 700x700 new image.

Copy & paste your tube as a new layer.

Duplicate the tube once. Select the original

tube layer.

 Apply the plugin 

Mura's Meister Copies: Wallpaper Rotate-Default settings.

Apply the mask AR315_CM_mask141. Merge group.

Rename the layer 1.

Duplicate the layer twice. Rename the two new layers as 

2 & 3.

Hide the 3 layer for now. Select the layer 2 on your layers palette.

Select the plugin VM Natural: Welder -Default settings.

Change the blend mode on this layer to Overlay or one of 

choice depending on your tag.

On the Layer 3, go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur.

I did a radius of 10.00 for mine. 

Change the Blend mode on this layer to Hard Light.

Now, with the original Layer 1 selected, apply the plugin

EyeCandy 4000: Glass with the settings:

Bevel Width 45.00

Smoothness 75

Bevel Placement: Inside

Edge Darkening 30

Gradient Shading 35

Refraction 50

Opacity 0

Tinting 50

Color: White

Choose your Ellipse Preset Shape Tool

Line Style Solid & Width 3.00

On your Materials palette, set your Foreground color

to a color that will stand out from your tag. Hide the background

color for now. 

Now drag out a circle around your tag. You don't want it

too big but enough to go around nearly all of your tag.

Select your font tool. Select a font which fits your tag style.

On your Materials Palette, unhide the Background color & select a 

color for your text. I used white for mine.

Hover your mouse along the circle shape until it shows A) but sideways slightly.

Click your mouse & type out your text. 

Hit apply when done. 

Now on your layers palette, click the + on the Vector layer for the text & circle layers. This will open up the layers. Click the eye on the circle ellipse layer to hide it from your tag. Then re-click the - to close the layers but still keep your text visible. Convert to raster. I applied EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow - Black Halo 3.00 to my text to help make it more visible.

Crop tag to desired size. Add copyright information & name to the tag.

Save as PNG. Thanks for trying my tutorial
