Supplies Needed

Mura's Meister - Copies

PhotoEffex - Scanlines

Open a new image 700 x 700.

From kit c/paste frame 6 and resize to 70%.

Using magic wand tool click in centre of frame to float inner.

Selections - Modify - Expand by 5.

From kit, c/paste the masked desert image (located in the papers folder) Move below frame layer.

Selections - Invert - Delete - Select none.

Duplicate the desert image, d/shadow frame, merge visible.

C/paste Element 42 - Palms. Resize to 50%. Position left of canvas behind frame. Duplicate and mirror copy to right. Merge both layers. D/shadow

C/paste Element 4 - Sand Hills. Resize to 65%. Position Bottom left of Image above the frame. Duplicate and Mirror copy to the right.

This is where we should be at this point.

C/paste Element 56 Foliage. Resize to 30 % and rotate right by 90 degrees.

Apply Mura's Copies - Encircle. See settings below.

Now go to Effects - Image Effects - Offset and change the horizontal value to -60 this will position the encircle to the left.

Duplicate layer and mirror the copy to the right. Merge down and move your merged layer behind all other layers at the bottom of your layer palette. 

Duplicate again. Go to Adjust - Hue and Saturation - Colorise. Change the colour of the layer to tie in with your chosen tube. I changed mine to Hue 230 Saturation 76.

Resize layer to 98%.

Now go back to the original Green copy and apply PhotoEffex - Scanlines.

Settings below.

 C/paste your tube.  Position it off centre more towards the right of the image. D/shadow.

Continue to build up your tag using desired elements from kit. D/shadow as you go.
