Let's begin!

Open a 600x600 new image canvas – transparent background.

Open element 54 and re-size to 434x360.

Using your selection tool, click inside element 54.

Go to selections, modify, expand, and expand by 5 pixels.

Open element 98.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Open element 99.

Keep this layer just above element 98.

Go back to your frame layer.

Using your selection tool, re-click inside your frame.

Go to selections, modify, expand, expand by 8 pixels.

Add a new raster layer.

Flood fill this layer with your choice of color.

Select none.

Move this layer to the bottom.

Open your tube of choice.

Re-size to 442x510.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like over the frame.

Duplicate.

Move one layer of the tube just under the frame.

Using your eraser tool, erase any part of the tube (of both layers) that is sticking out of the lower part of the frame. (see my tag above)

Open element 97 and re-size to 390x179.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open element 99 and re-size to 320x75.

Merge group.

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

Merge visible.

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 dcdcda.

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 'Raindrops' in size 36. Color choice was white.

Merge down and re-save.
