Selection select all float and defloat. Open the close up of your tube or if your tube does not have a close up just your tube will do and copy and paste as a new layer. Position her face within the selected area. Once happy selections invert and hit delete. Leave selected.

Layers new raster layer and drag under the background shape layer. Selections invert again. Selections modify and expand by 5. Flood fill your layer with a color or gradient of your choice. Adjust add remove noise and add noise at 100. Selections select none. Make the tube layer active and go to adjust hue and saturation colorize and set both values to 0. Lower the opacity of this layer to 40. Merge down to the background layer. Add a drop shadow to the bottom noise layer. Merge all layers together.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer and move to the far right side. Add a drop shadow.

Now let’s dress the tag up with elements from the kit. I will list the elements I used. Feel free to use other elements to make your tag unique. Placement of the elements is completely up to you. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use my tag for reference.

Plugins:

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 85 11.00 Black

Let's Begin:

Open paper 24 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Re-size the paper layer if you wish. This will be the base of your tag. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Open the close-up of your tube. Copy and paste as a new layer. Apply the mask again to your tube layer. Delete the mask layer and merge the group. Re-size if you need to. Move so the masked tube is in the center of the bottom mask layer. Change the properties of the tube layer to Luminance Legacy. Merge these 2 layers together. Add a drop shadow – I used 2 -2 85 3.00 Black.

Open your full tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed so she is just slightly bigger or close to the same size as the mask base. Position where you want her and add a drop shadow.

Open element 17 and copy and paste as a new layer. Place at the bottom of your tube so it is covering her legs and wraps around her. Erase any bits that cover your tube at the top. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 84 and re-size by 85%. Copy and paste as a new layer and drag under your tube. Move to the far right side so it is coming out from behind your tube. Add a drop shadow.

Use some of the jewels from the kit to dress up your tag along the bottom and right side. Re-size them and rotate them as you wish. Once you are done add a drop shadow to each of them.

Now we are going to place some text on a path. I am sure there are many ways to do this but I am going to explain how I do it. If you know of another way feel free to do it your way. What matters is the end result.

Using your pen tool; turn off your background color and set your foreground color to something you can see fairly easily on your tag. Set the pen tool to draw freehand and check create on vector. Width doesn’t matter as we will delete this layer once we have the text on. Draw a vector line of your choosing about the middle of your tag around the flowers, jewels and your tube. It doesn’t have to be perfect but you may have to try it a few times to get the shape how you want it. I usually have to do it a few times as my hand is not that steady with a mouse <lol> …. Now using the font of your choice set to floating type out some text on your vector path. Once you have it typed out promote your floating selection to a rather layer and selections select none. Delete the vector path layer it is no longer needed. Add a drop shadow to your text.

Let's Begin:

Open paper 2 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Re-size the paper if you want to. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Open element 57 and copy and paste as a new layer. Place the buildings in the center of the mask. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 37 and re-size by 85% and copy and paste as a new layer and place at the far left side of the buildings. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 80 and copy and paste as a new layer and place on the far left side of the buildings. Duplicate and image flip horizontal and move to the far right side of the buildings.

Open element 47 and re-size by 50%. Image flip horizontal. Copy and paste as a new layer and place on the far left in front of the light pole. Add a drop shadow.

Open your tube and re-size so she is slightly larger than the buildings. Image flip horizontal if you wish. Copy and paste as a new layer and drag under the car layer. Move to the far left but to the right of the car and tuck her under the front end. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 70 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size and place at the feet of the tube. Add a drop shadow.

Now let’s dress the tag up with elements from the kit. I will list the elements I used. Feel free to use other elements to make your tag unique. Placement of the elements is completely up to you. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use my tag for reference.

Let's Begin:

Open element 77 from the kit. This is going to be the base of your tag. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Using your magic wand select the inside of the frame. Layers new raster layer and drag under the frame.  Selections modify and expand by 3. Open the paper of your choice from the kit; I used paper 10 and copy and paste into selection. Selections select none.

Copy and paste the paper again as a new layer and drag to the very bottom. Apply the mask of your choice and delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Make your frame layer active and using the magic wand select the inside of your frame again. Selections modify and expand by 1. Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Position within the selected frame area and then use your eraser tool and erase any bits you do not want hanging out of the frame. Selections select none.

Add a drop shadow to both the tube and the frame.

Open element 35 and re-size by 85%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Drag under your tube. Place at the top of the frame behind the head of your tube.

Open element 12 and re-size by 50% and copy and paste as a new layer and place in the top left corner of the frame. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 44 and copy and paste as a new layer and place in front of the moon but you still want to be able to see the moon at the top and the stars and sparkles through the clouds.

Open element 80 and re-size by 50% and then again by 75%. Copy and paste as a new layer and place in the bottom left hand corner of the frame. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate and image flip horizontal. Re-size this duplicate by 75% and move over in front of the tube.

Do the same with element 79.

Open element 81 and re-size by 75%. Image free rotate to the left 90 degrees. Copy and paste as a new layer and place on the far right hand side bottom corner of the frame. Add a drop shadow.
