Let's begin!

Open a 600x600 new image canvas – transparent background.

Open frame 6 and re-size to 385x380.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Position as you like.

Open your tube and re-size to 253x540.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Position as you like.

Open the luggage element and re-size to 210x218.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open the anchor element.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Open shell 1 and re-size to 24x24.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Duplicate layer 5 times.

Position each layer as you like.

Open bottle element and re-size to 82x116.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open paper 4.

Using your selection tool, click inside the frame element.

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

Copy and paste the paper into the selection.

Position as you like.

Go to selections, and click invert. Hit delete on your key board.

Go back to selections, select none.

Move that layer to just below the frame element.

Open palm 2 element and re-size to 468x510.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open paper 1 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 WSL_Mask116 by WeeScotsLass.

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 aec4d9.

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 'Anacondas' in size 48. Color choice was black.

Merge down and re-save.
