Please forgive me but I am not very good with this blog thing. I just learned that I can label so I am afraid things are not dated as they should be. But in the future it should all be good. I hope you enjoy looking around my blog and maybe you will find something you like.

NOTE: Autocrop layers as you go.
If you prefer you can ds as you go. I wait till the end.
Lets begin.
New image 800 x 800 px white bg . We will resize later.
I just like to have a little more room to work
add new layer
open frame 4 , resize to 550 px width , paste , anchor
move to the left side
add new layer
copy and paste branch
anchor
resize to 600px width
position at bottom of frame
add new layer
open word art and paste
anchor , position on lower frame above branch
( my wordart was larger than my workspace so
I had to click image
fit canvas to layers)
If the uneven space bugs you then add new layer
above bg and fill with white then delete bg .The
new layer will become your bg.
add new
copy and paste owl
anchor
scale to 225 px width
place on branch and rotate to your liking
Now the tricky part
make the word art layer active
add new layer
copy and paste the tube
anchor
resize as much as you need
I resized my tube to 1000px width and
had to click image
fit canvas to layers
erase as needed.
I am making this tag for a g rated group
so I erased most everything below the waist
but you can position your tube as you like and
erase as you like
I duplicated it and put one layer below the frame
then I erased the part of the skirt that was covering
the letters on the word art leaving the spoon and hand
add any other embelishments you want
