- Lets get started -

Open your template and delete the copyright layer. Change canvas size to 800x800 you can crop and resize this later when you are done with your tag.

Open paper 8 and copy/paste as a new layer above the black circle layer. On black circle layer select all-float-defloat-invert then reselect your paper layer and hit delete on it. Also delete your original black circle layer

Open paper 7 and copy/paste as a new layer above the circle1 layer. On circle1 layer select all-float-defloat-invert then reselect your paper layer and hit delete on it. Also delete your original circle1 layer

Open paper 7 and copy/paste as a new layer above the background frame layer. On background frame layer select all-float-defloat-invert then reselect your paper layer and hit delete on it. Also delete your original background frame layer

I added a gaussin blur to this layer with the settings below


Open paper 3 and copy/paste as a new layer above the wordart layer. On wordart layer select all-float-defloat-invert then reselect your paper layer and hit delete on it and change your blend mode to Color (L)

Open paper 3 and copy/paste as a new layer above the small stars layer. On small stars layer select all-float-defloat-invert then reselect your paper layer and hit delete on it and change your blend mode to Color (L)

I cropped to canvas size to get rid of excess paper which can cause shadow lines on your finished tag

I added a dropshadow on every layer except for the orange circle and pink framed background layer using the settings below


Open paper 12 and copy/paste as a new layer above the background layer. Open your mask and apply a new mask layer to this layer. Merge group and resize/position so that your mask centers behind your tag (see mine for example if needed)

Copy and paste your tube (preferably a close up of face if your tube comes with one)above the frame background layer. On the frame background layer select all-float-defloat-invert then reselect your tube layer and hit delete on it and change your blend mode to Luminance

Add your full tube as your top layer of template. I positioned mine to the side of my tag and added a 3D dropshadow using the settings below


Add elements of your choice I used
element 36-pink ribbon
element 10-pink bubbles
element 46-sparkles

Add the correct copyright for the artist you used
