Drop Shadow = DS = 2,2,50,5 black

Let's get started.

Open my supplies

800 X 800

1.) EL 16 -Copy & Paste = C&P as New raster Layer = NRL-- move it up a little

2.) EL 17 - Resize = R -50%-- sharpen --unsharp mask --C&P as NRL-- place on right side of canvas..DS--tag reference = TR

3.) Grass--C&P as NRL-- place paper to 1/4 behind gazebo-TR-duplicate = dup. & mirror--merge down = MD--then crop-opaque-800X800-ok

4.) EL 2-R=50% & 80% X 2 ---unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--place on gazebo-DS--dup.-R = 80% sharpen--place on other pole--TR

5.)EL 27-- R = 70%--sharpen--C&P as NRL-- place on bottom--DS

6.) Tube --C&P as NRL--resize if needed-- place tube on bridge--dup. and move this one below bridge--with freehand selection tool -(these settings) point to point, add shift --feather = 0 ---smoothing = 0 -- anti-alias checked-- go around the top tube as shown in EX. 1--Edit --cut--select none-

7.) Do the same for the top of the tube,as is shown in EX. 2--when finished MD all 3 layers-

8.) EL 8 --R = 50 % and 70%-- unsharp mask---C&P as NRL--place it to the left of tag, move layer below tube layer--DS--TR- dup. R= 70% sharpen-move this one to the right of tag --TR and place layer below gazebo layer.

9.) EL 47 ---C&P as NRL--DS--move to the right side of tag- place this layer right above background..TR

10.) EL 5 -R = 40% X 2-- unsharp mask--C&P as NRL-- place on bottom of tag--right side--DS-TR--dup. & R=70% -sharpen--place these any where you wish--I place a few around mine--TR

11.) EL 6 -R = 50% & 80% X2--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL-- place it next to the flower pot- dup.-DS- move this one to left side-TR-move  layers below tube layer. 

12.) EL 12-R = 50% X2--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL-- place this behind gazebo and then move the layer above background--DS--TR

13.) EL 15-R = 50% -- unsharp mask--C&P as NRL-- place on right side near the top--DS--TR--place this layer above background layer.

14.) EL 24-R=50% X 2--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--place inside gazebo -dup. and place this one behind the gazebo,move the layer behind gazebo layer--on top layer--grab your freehand selection tool again,same settings and go around the top of the swing,making sure your on top layer of swing--edit --cut--DS bottom swing--TR

15.) EL 3-R = 10% & 75% X3--unsharp mask---C&P as NRL-- place in front of gazebo--DS--TR

16.)EL 35-R=20% --unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--DS-place it  in front of tube--free rotate-left-30--TR

17.) EL 39-R=20% & 60% X2--unsharp mask---C&P as NRL--DS--place in front of the gazebo--TR-dup. R = 60% sharpen & place around your canvas--TR

18.) EL 4--R=30%--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--DS- place it behind the gazebo on the left side, move layer to above gazebo layer--TR

19.) EL 13-R= 30%-unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--place it on the bench--DS--TR

20.) EL 18-R= 30% & 70%X2 --unsharp mask- --C&P as NRL--free rotate-left-90- place it on the to of bridge--DS--TR

21.) EL 34-R=40% --unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--place on upper left top --DS--move layer below gazebo-TR

22.) EL 41 - R = 15% & 80% X4--unsharp mask --C&P as NRL--place on left side of Bridge-DS-TR--now dup. move it over and down to the bottom -- TR--dup.- mirror- you might have to move it over a bit...TR

23.) EL 23-R= 10%--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--on top layer--place infront of gazebo and to the right.--DS--TR

24.) EL 25-R=40% X2--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--DS--place it on bench---TR

25.) open a new canvas 800 X 800--EL 9 --C&P as NRL--Dup. R=80% -- sharpen-move it to the left side-and move it down a little--dup. & mirror..do as many as you wish to make a pretty bouquet--once happy--merge visible..now--C&P as NRL---onto your tag-place it in front of the tube and bench-DS--TR

26.)EL 44-R=30% & 60 % X2--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--place on left side near the top flowers-DS--TR--dup.-R=80% -sharpen--move it down (or place them where you wish) TR

27.) EL 43- R = 20% - unsharp mask --C&P as NRL--free rotate left 25 -- place on bottom right of the flower box--DS--TR---dup.--R= 80% - sharpen-place it up a little (or where you want) TR

28.) make sure all layers are open-but bottom layer-(close it)--merge visible--R = 63%-sharpen

29.) Sky- --C&P as NRL--make sure its  above the bottom layer 

30.) Cloud--R-= 80% sharpen---C&P as NRL-- (drop shadow if you want dark clouds) place the cloud where you want on the tag..dup. R -80%--sharpen --move it just a little lower than 1st one.
