**CT PTU TUTORIAL - Autumn Days**

*This tutorial is written by me using Photoshop CS5 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 her work.
You may do that at PFD store.
Kit of choice. I'm using PTU kit 'A Country Autum'
by Inzpired Creationz. You can find it HERE.
(Nicky retired, not available anymore)
Mask of choice. WSL_Mask329
Font of choice. GrilledChesse BNT Wide
Wordart of chose. HERE


Let's get started...
Open new canvas 600x600.
From the kit past 'Grass 1' at bottom center.Drop Shadow,
Opacity on 40%. Place 2 copies of 'Scattered Leaves 1'.
One on the left and other, with Flip Horizontal, on the right.
Around it place 5 copies of 'Scattered Leaves'. Resize it and
Rotate how you like. Add Shadow on all 5 on 40%. At the top center
place 'Frame 1'. Resize it a little to be smaller and shadow.
Under frame place tube close up. Erase extras of tube and add
filter or some efects on it. At the top right side of a frame
place again 'Scattered Leaves 1'. At the frame bottom place
'Hay Bale', Resize and Drop Shadow. On it on the left side past
'Wheel', Shadow on 50%. Then on the right place 'Guitar'
with Shadow 50%. At the center of the last 2 elements, add 'Hat',
Resize and Drop Shadow on 50%. And 'Bubbles' on it, no shadow.
Place 'Flowers 2', Resize it to be smaller and Shadow on 50%.
Now pace on the grass full size tube, Drop Shadow 40%.
Past 'Scattered Leaves 1' on it, Resize to be smaller, no shadow.
Bottom left place 'Flower 10', Resize and Shadow 50%.
Add 'Pumpkins' at the bottom center with Shadow on 50%.
On it place 'Flower 4', Flip Horizontal and Shadow.
Then 'Acorns 2' on it with Resize, Flip Horizontal and Shadow.
On all that place 'Flower 10' again, but bigger then one before.
Flip Horizontal and Drop Shadow, Opacity 50%.
Place WA at the top, Resize and Rotate a little. Now make a copy
of it. On one copy Erase words and on other leafe. Copy where
you have words only add style or color with shadow.


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 #13.
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.
Don't place mask to fit! Make it smaller and place 4 copies.
One in every corner. And for every one make another
copy to be more visibly.

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.
