Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using
a tube by Robin McQuay.
You can purchase her tubes at
UYA

Supplies:
Tube of choice
Scrap of choice.
I’m using one by PolkaDot Scraps
Called Into The Night
It is available at Pimp My Tags
with Scraps
Here
Plugins:
EyeCandy 4000 Gradient Glow -Optional

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

Open a tree branch.
Paste on the new image as a new layer.
Duplicate two more times.

Arrange so that there are 3 branches
alongside one another.

On your main tube, resize 88%
Paste on top of the three branches.

Open a set of angel wings.
Resize the wings 70%
Paste at the bottom of your tube.

Open a key element.
Resize 80%
Paste along side the wings layer.

Open a ribbon of choice

tag with one end at the key top.

Open a flower button element.
Resize by 50% twice.
Paste in the center of the wings layers above the key
layer.

Open a feather element.
Rotate 90 left or right.
Paste under your main tube layer
& to side slightly.

You want to position it between the tube & branch layer.
To appear to be coming out from the angel wings
behind your tube.
Duplicate once & mirror.

Open falling leaves element.
Resize 80%
paste as a new layer to the left
& under your main tube.
You want the leaves to appear to be falling
on the side that your tube is facing.

Add a drop shadow to the leaves
2,2,50,5 black
Also add a drop shadow the main tube layer.

Open a butterfly element.
Resize 70% once & 80% once
Paste on the top part of the key.

Add wordart or saying of choice
to the tag on top layer. I did an EyeCandy 4000
gradient glow on each of the two words I did for saying.
Make sure you add a drop shadow as well.

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