I played with this stunning kit, Shine Bright, by Rieneke Designs and paired it up with Antique Doll by Nocturne, a tube from Pics For Design. The result was this tag, which I'm pretty happy with :) I was going to tut it, but it's really a lot of clustering which is hard to explain, lol. So I made some extras instead. Will probably make another tag with it as well, because it was so fun to play with ^_^
Visit Twilight Scraps here to check out this fab kit, and many more from Rieneke Designs.
Visit PFD here for more of Nocturne's gorgeous work!

Here are some extras. Please do not alter, resize, add elements, add names or claim these tags as your own. Just click to view full size, then right-click save to your computer :)

I'm on a Mac so when I use Command you may need to use Ctrl

Clip a close up of your tube to frame back 2. Desaturate tube and change blend mode to Hard Light.

Now for the mask!! There are a few ways to do this...this is how I like to :)
Open your mask and add paper of choice above it.
With the mask layer highlighted, Select>All, Edit>Copy.
On paper layer, hit Q to activate Quick Mask Mode. If you see red, you're doing it right! Edit>Paste. Hit Q again to turn off Quick Mask Mode. The red should disappear and be marching ants.
Now click the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of your layer palette box.
Rasterize the layer and drag it over to your tag canvas.

I'm on a Mac, so when I use Command you may need to use Ctrl

Here we go :)

Open a new canvas 700x700 on a transparent background.
Choose your frame and place in center of canvas. I used element 50.
Place paper of choice below frame. 
With frame layer active, click inside it using your Magic Wand Tool (w).
Select>Modify>Expand by 5. Select>Inverse.
Hit Delete on the paper layer. Deselect. 
Add the following elements to the top right corner of the frame-
37- angle so it's vertical
44
Add element 41 below the paper layer so the end of it peeks out past the lower left corner of the frame.

Refer to my tag for placement, and add the following elements from bottom to top:
14
54
19
26
32
53
You should now have something that looks somewhat like this:
Now resize and angle element 21 over your little cluster of elements..
Add element 28 right on the lower left corner, on top of everything else.
Resize and add element 20 to the top of frame. 
Position tube how you like directly above frame layer. Command+J to duplicate.
Move copy of tube below frame. 
Erase bottoms of both tube layers so it cleanly looks like the tube is coming out the frame.
Using Layer Styles, add a drop shadow just to the bottom tube layer. 
Go ahead and add a drop shadow to the rest of your elements too.

Now let's get our mask ready! Open your mask on a new canvas.
Add a new layer above it, and flood fill with color of choice, 
or use a paper from kit.
Make sure your mask layer is activated and Command+A to Select All, Command+C to Copy.
