*Let's Get Started*
*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

Open template, Shift + D and close original. Delete credits.

Reset canvas size to 600 by 600 to give you more working room.

Circle1,  Select all/float/defloat new raster layer. Open paper1 and copy & paste, selection invert, delete, select none & delete original template layer. Do not drop shadow this layer.

Circle2, Select all/float/defloat new raster layer. Open paper4 and copy & paste, selection invert, delete, select none & delete original template layer. Do not drop shadow this layer.

Resize tube 75 percent, copy & paste onto your circle2. Drag slightly to the left. Using your eraser tool, erase any parts of your tube that may be sticking out from under the frame layer.

Rectangle, Select all/float/defloat new raster layer. Open paper1 and copy & paste, selection invert, delete, select none & delete original template layer. Do not drop shadow this layer.

Add your drop shadow to frame 1, 2 and to rectangle fill & text fill.

Time to add the elements, I used the following:

Element17 resize 80 percent, copy & paste into the rectangle.

Element17 resize 42 percent, copy & paste into the rectangle.

Element26 resize 40 percent, copy & paste to the right side of your tag.

Element63 resize 50 percent, copy & paste to the left side of your tag.

Element44 resize 40 percent, rotate left 15 degrees, copy & paste to the left side of your tag.

Element17 resize 28 percent, rotate left 15 degrees, copy & paste to the left side of your tag.

Element46 resize 20 percent, copy & paste to the top of your tag.

See my tag for details.
Add more elements if you wish to.

Open new raster layer and send to the bottom, Open paper15 and copy & paste, apply your mask.

When you are happy with your tag merge all layers and resize to your liking.

Apply the correct artist copyright and license info and save as a PNG, then add your name and merge & save.
