Supplies Needed:
Tube of choice, I am using one of PinUpToons found at CDO
Scrap kit Early Autumn by Sentimental Style
Mask 05 by Spawn
MuRa’s Meister - Copies

Open a new image 600 x 250 with a white background.

Using two colors from the tube make a gradient, add a new layer above the white background and flood fill with the gradient.

Copy and paste a paper of choice above the gradient, you are going to have to resize it. I resized mine by 120 percent. Apply a mask 05 to the paper. Delete the mask layer and merge group.

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer. Go to Plugins - MuRa’s Meister - Copies - Wall paper (rotate). I left everything on default except for the number, this I changed to 15. You can play around with the settings if you like J. Lower the Opacity to 55.

Open Ribbon, copy and paste as a new layer. Apply a drop shadow.

Using a font of choice, type out AUTUMN across the ribbon. Position in the middle. Apply a nice drop shadow.

Open Leaf 1, 2 and 3. Resize all leaves by 25 percent. Copy and paste the leaves across the bottom of the tag. Don’t forget to mirror and flip some. Apply a drop shadow to all leaves. Once you have the leave line at the bottom merge all leaves together. Duplicate, mirror and flip. Now you should have one at the top as well.

Resize a few leaves a little smaller and place here and there to your liking. Apply a drop shadow to all.

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer. Place to your liking. Resize if needed and apply a drop shadow.

To add the frame, select the white background layer. Go to Selections - Modify - Select Selection Borders and I used 3. Add a new layer above the others, flood fill with a color of choice. Go to Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance. Apply a drop shadow.

Add any copyrights and your name. Save as a PNG.

Thank you for trying one of my tuts, I hope you have enjoyed yourself and I look forward to you coming back again.
