Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using
a tube by Robin McQuay.
You can find the tube at
Dreamscape Imaging

Supplies:
Tube Of Choice
Plugins:
Mura's Meister Copies

Open a 600x250 new image.
Open up your tube of choice.

Paste your tube as a new layer
onto your new image.
Duplicate this layer once.
X out this layer for now.

Now back on the original layer,

Add a drop shadow to this layer.

Back on the original tube,
Resize 70%.
Paste as a new layer onto your tag
between the two layers.
Add the above drop shadow also.

The tube I am using has a heart on
a sepearte layer.I resized this layer 50%.
Paste a heart element on both sides of
your main tube.

Now select your font tool.
Choose a font of choice.
We're going to add a word to each
corner of the tag. Each word will be in
a different color.
