**CT PTU TUTORIAL - Rachel Divine**

*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 her work.
You may do that at VMT store.
Kit of choice. I'm using PTU matching kit 'Divine Autumn'
by SkyScraps. You can find it HERE.
(not available anymore)
Mask of choice. WSL_Mask74
Font of choice. Salutino


Let's get started...
Open new canvas 600x600.
From the kit past Element #39, resize a little to be smaller.
Drop Shadow, Opacity 60%. On it place Element #48 to fit.
Bottom right side place Element #16, shadow on 40%. Then place
Element #35 on all that, with shadow on 40%. On the left frame side
place full size tube. Make a copy of a tube and place it above
'background' layer. On tube copy use Eraser Tool and remove everything
that's not in frame hole. On the original tube layer use Eraser Tool
and remove legs part and a little on the left arm. Click 'background'
layer then. From the kit past Paper #2, resize and erase extras.
Place close-up tube on the frame hole left side. Use filter or
effect of choice. Click full size original tube layer then.
Past Element #42, resize, rotate and place bottom center, shadow 40%.
On it add Element #47, shadow 40%. Make a copy of it, rotate and place
on the frame left side. On both elements place 1 copy of Element #81.
Between those past Element #105, resize and rotate with shadow.
Then place 2 copies of Element #93 with shadow on both 40%.
At the end past Element #30, resize and shadow.
Use my tag to guide you.


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 #3.
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.
