Sweet Clear Day

For this tutorial you will need the following:
Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X, you should be able to use any version.
Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Ismael Rac which you need a license to use. You can get at his store HERE.
Scrap kit of choice. I am using Clear Day by Sugar Kissed Designs which is a PTU kit which you can find HERE.
Template #68 by Tracy at Freebie Friends Scraps and More HERE.
Font of choice, I am using Pea Mindy by Fonts for Peas.
Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.
Let's get started!
Open template and resize to 650x650 and delete the credits layer.
Click on circle layer with your magic wand, open paper 10, copy and paste as a new layer, selections, invert, click delete on your keyboard, deselect and delete the original layer.
Do the same with the oval layer using paper 15.
Add a drop shadow of your choice to both of the glitter layers (circle and oval). I used 1, 1, 50, 5 and then -1, -1, 50, 5
Make circle 2 layer active, selections, select all, float, defloat, open paper 1, copy and paste as a new layer, selections, invert, click delete on your keyboard, then deselect and delete the original layer. Add same drop shadow to this layer's glitter frame also.
Make circle 3 layer active, selections, select all, float, defloat, open paper 3, copy and paste as a new layer, selections, invert, click delete on your keyboard and leave active.
Open your close up tube, copy and paste as a new layer, arrange it where you like, click delete on your keyboard. Do it again, but this time have the close up mirrored so you have two of the same tube in the top circle layer facing each other then deselect.
On the lower tube, change the blend mode to luminance (L) and drop the opacity to about 60.
Open element 32, copy and paste as a new layer, mirror and drag to the right side, put that layer at the bottom and duplicate it then merge down.
Open element 15, copy and paste as a new layer, resize about 70%, arrange across the bottom of your tag.
Open element 24, copy and paste as a new layer, drag it down between the layers, see my tag for reference, and add a drop shadow.
Copy and paste any other elements you like into your tag.
Add your copyright info and any other credits necessary, crop, resize and save.
