Let's begin!

Open a 600x600 new image canvas – transparent background.

Open frame 5 and re-size to 388x400.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open your choice of tube.

Go to the layer with the frame.

Using your selection tool, click inside the frame.

Go to selections, modify, expand by 5.

Go back to your tube.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Go to selections, and invert.

Hit delete on your key board.

Selections, and select none.

Move raster to below frame.

Open your tube again.

Re-size it to 248x527. Mirror.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Position as you like.

Open grass 2.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Position as you like.

Duplicate. Mirror.

Merge the two grass layers together.

Open paper 1 and re-size to 400x400.

Go to the layer with the frame.

Using your selection tool, click inside the frame.

Go to selections, modify, expand by 5.

Go back to paper 1.

Copy and paste the paper as a new layer onto canvas.

Go to selections, and invert.

Hit delete on your key board.

Selections, and select none.

Move raster to below the tube under the frame.

Now let's go back to the tube that's just under the frame.

Duplicate the tube.

Add a drop shadow to the bottom layer of the tube only.

Go back to the top layer of the two tubes under the frame, now go to adjust, blur, gaussian blur, and do a blur radius of 10.

Then go to properties and change the blend mode to screen.

Now go to the second layer of the tube under the frame.

Go to properties and change the blend mode to luminance (legacy).

Merge the two tube layers together.

Go back to properties and lower the opacity to 40.

Open flowers 3 and re-size to 180x83.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Position as you like.

Duplicate. Mirror.

Open chick 2 and re-size to 64x72.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Mirror. Position as you like.

Open chick 3 and re-size to 99x56.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open chick 1 and re-size to 45x66.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Open scatter 1 and re-size to 278x93.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Duplicate. Mirror.

Merge the two scatter layers together

Open paper 9 and re-size to 600x600.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Move that layer to very bottom.

Apply mask of choice.

I am using MPM_mask05 by Millie's PSP Madness.

Merge group.

Now add a drop shadow to all your elements and tube (except for the paper and the tubes under the frame) to your liking.

Adding a drop shadow will make your tag pop instead of giving it that flat look.

I used these settings: 3, 2, 60, 5.

Add your copyright information and your license number to your tag.

I use 'Arial' font size 8 to do mine in the color black. I also used the plugin of Eye Candy Gradient Glow with a width of 5 to go around my copyright and license information in the color choice of d2f0ce.

Merge visible layers together. Give your creation a name and save as a blank copy.

Now, add a name to your tag in your font of choice.

I used font 'Jenna Sue' in size 48. Color choice was black.

Merge down and re-save.
