Let's Begin!

1.  Open your rosedreams8- graphic and go to your layer palette and promote background layer.

2.  Go to Plugins, Unplugged Tools and choose the Spotlight filter, then apply the following settings; X = 127, Y = 127, Focus = 127, Brightness = 111, Hilight = 175.  See example;

3.  Now go to Image, Canvas Size and use the following settings; Lock the aspect ratio,

then make the Width 450, Placement = Center.

4.  Go to Selections, then Select All, Float, Defloat.  Back to Selections, then Modify and Expand by 6 pixels.

5.  Grab your Flood Fill tool and set your foreground color to your jcc-etchedgold pattern, Angle at 45 and Scale 100.  Fill the expanded area.

6.  Select none.

7.  Go to Image, Add borders, flatten into a single background image if prompted to do so.  Add a Symetrical border of 15 pixels and set the color to a darker color from your image.  I used #832608 and then apply.  You should now have something that looks like the example below.

8.  With your Magic Wand, feather and tolerance set to 0, select the white area on your border.

9.  Grab your Flood Fill tool again and change the pattern on the foreground to jcc-etchedgold3 and flood fill the white selected area.

10.  Keep selected and go to Effects, Plugins, Sybia, Xaggerate and apply the following settings;

11.  Keep selected and apply a Drop Shadow. Go to Effects, 3D Effects, Drop Shadow and choose the jcc-softglo preset then apply it. Selections and select none.

12.  Open jccexamp4- image and then Edit, Copy and go back to your original image and paste it in the lower left hand corner of your canvas as a new layer.  Reduce the Opacity of this layer to about 70% on your Layer Palette.

13.  Apply the jcc-softglo Drop Shadow, go to Effects, 3D Effects, Drop Shadow, but change the Vertical to 5 and Horizontal to -5.

14.  Go to Layers and add a new Raster Layer, name it Brush1.  Set your foreground color to #ffCEC7 and set your background to the jcc-etchedgold pattern.

15.  Get your Paintbrush and find the jcc-btyelegance1 brush and apply it to the left size of your image.

15.  Apply the same drop shadow as you did in step 13.

16.  On your layer palette, Merge all Layers visible.

17.  Now you can add your text.  I used Al Charisma.tff for my tag with the following settings;

Foreground set to jcc-etchedgold pattern and Background set to Null.

18.  You can resize your tag at this time if you'd like and save it as a .jpg.

You are now done!  I hope you enjoyed this lesson!
