Supplies

Tube of Choice. I used the art of Tanya Jacobsz which I purchased when she sold at MPT. Choose a tube with a close up

Scrapkit - I used Cora's part of an awesome collab called Emo Girlz Rock which I purchased at Pimp My Tags. This store is no longer running so choose a kit with similar elements to my sample tag.

Filters - Xero Radiance

Font of choice, I used Aeiou

Let's start!

Open a new canvas 800 x 800, flood fill white.

Copy and paste a frame. Copy and paste your tube. Duplicate the frame layer and place the tube between the 2 frame layers. Erase part of the top frame so your tube is half in and half out of the frame. Erase the tube hanging over the frame. Drop shadow the bottom frame layer.

On your bottom frame layer, click inside with your magic wand. Selections, modify, expand by 5. Copy and paste a paper as a new layer, re-size 85%, selections invert delete. You can colour to suit your tag if you want to.

Apply Xero Radiance to your tube. Just hit random until you get an effect you want. Duplicate the tube, and on the top copy, adjust blur, gaussian blur 3. Change the blend mode to soft light. On the original tube layer apply a drop shadow.

Copy and paste the note paper under the frame layer, drop shadow. Copy and paste the sparkles above your tube. Copy and paste print 02 under the note paper, re-size 85%. Copy and paste star 02 rotate left 90 and apply a light grad glow, drop shadow. Copy and paste the kiss, re-size 85%. Copy and paste glitter 02 & 03 above your background layer. Copy and paste the lipstick, re-size 60%. Copy and paste star 1 re-size 80%. Re-colour to suit your tag.

Crop your tag and re-size. Add some sparkles!
