**CT PTU TUTORIAL - Ocean Breeze**

*This tutorial is written by me using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work.
Any similarity to any other tut is coincidental.*


Supplies:
Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Verymany.
You must purchase a license to be able to use their work.
You may do that at VMT store.
Kit of choice. I'm using PTU kit 'Ocean Breeze'
by Tiny Turtle Designs. You can find it HERE.
Mask of choice - WSL_Mask58
Font of choice


Let's get started...
Open new canvas 600x600.
From the kit past Element 20 and place it little left and down from the
center. Drop Shadow with Opacity on 35%. Click the 'background' layer
then. Then add 2 copies of Element 91, one on the top left an other on
right center (around the frame) with shadow on both. Now past Paper 37,
don't resize it! Use Eraser Tool to remove everything outside the frame.
Open tube file and past full size tube, Flip Horizontal and place it at
the left side. Double click on the tube layer and set Blend Mode to
Hard Light. Then click on the frame layer. At the frame bottom place
Element 10, resize to be bigger a little and shadow. On the bottom left
add Element 60, shadow. On it past Elements 18, 36, 28 and 75 in that
order with shadow on all. Then at the right side past Elements 17, 65,
58, 18 and For the frame top left side use Element 100, resize a little,
Flip Horizontal and use Eraser Tool to remove the other branch. Make a
copy of it, Flip Horizontal and place it little down and left from the
original one, shadow on both 35%. At the top of the fist leaves add
Element 33, shadow. From that one till down we'll place Elemens 108,
34 and 51 with shadow on all. Now add full size tube and place it little
right from the center, shadow on 45%. At the tube bottom add Elements
78, 83, 43, 103 and 6 in that order with shadow on all 35% (fallow my
tag to see where to place them).

Now let's add mask:
Open your mask as new image.
Mask layer will be called 'Background' and will be locked. 
Double click on same layer, press OK. Layer name will be 'Layer 0'.
Add a new layer above it and flood fill with color of choice,
or use a paper from kit. I use Paper 6.
Click on mask layer and hold CTRL+A to Select All, CTRL+C to Copy.
Click on the paper layer, hit Q to turn on Quick Mask mode. 
CTRL+V to paste the mask. It should now be kinda red.
Hit Q to turn off Quick Mask mode
and there should be shown selection on your canvas. 
Hit the Add Layer Mask.
On paper layer, right click and Convert to Smart Object.
Right click again and Rasterize Layer.
Drag completed mask to your tag canvas as the bottom layer.
Resize it if needed.

Add proper copyright and your name on tag.

Hide or delete bottom 'Background' layer. And save your tag as .PNG file.
That's it! Thank you for reading. I would love to see any tags made with this tutorial. You can past the link here as comment or send them to me on al3x_v@ymail.com
