The Wave Tutorial

Open 700x700 (You can resize later) To aid in the creation of the tag, make your background white.

For the purpose of this tutorial, I will refer to the kit and tube I chose.

The kit I chose is The Wave by Honored Scraps

This kit and more can be purchased at Treasured Scraps

Let's start by opening element 49 and placing it lower on your canvas.

Next add element 15 and place it above the first element.

Open element 43, resize to your liking and place it slightly to the right.

Now you want to add your tube. 

I am using Melusina by Angelica S. purchased from PFD, but you can use any tube you like!

Angelica has since left PFD, but her beautiful art can be found at Art For Design

Once you place your tube where you would like, it's time to add other elements to make your tag.

I used the elements to complete the look of my tag:

36

41

42

Once you are happy with the layout of your tag, SAVE!

Don't forget to add any last minute drop shadows if you wish!

Resize tag if you would like as well!

Add Copyright information, your license and your favorite font for the name!

I usually save in .png but please save your final result in your chosen format. 

All Done!
