~Here We Go~

* NOTES *
- My tutorials are only a guide - use your own creativity to make your tag unique to you.
- My Tag's final size is 590x590 so I will not be including the actual percentages with which I resized the Elements.
- I typically add Drop Shadows once I'm finished adding everything.
- I did not use Raster Layers 2 and 11 of the Template.

Raster 4 - Select All; Float; Defloat; Selections; Modify; Expand by 1. Open Paper 4; copy and paste into Selection; select none.

Copy and paste Tree2 above Raster 4; Mirror. Apply optional Corona:
EyeCandy 4000 Corona:
Glow Width    13.65
Flare Size     5.04
Stretch        100
Waver        23
Blur        0
Overall Opacity    100
Color        #5f4620

Raster 3 - Select All; Float; Defloat; Selections; Modify; Expand by 1. Open Paper 5; copy and paste as New Layer.  Move the paper so the area you like will be displayed in the rectangle.  Invert selection; hit delete on paper; select none.

Raster 5 - Select All; Float; Defloat; Selections; Modify; Expand by 1. Open Paper 2; copy and paste into Selection; select none.

Raster 6 - Select All; Float; Defloat; Selections; Modify; Expand by 1. Open Paper 1; copy and paste into Selection; select none.

Raster 7 - Select All; Float; Defloat; Selections; Modify; Expand by 1. Open your Close-up Tube; copy and paste as New Layer. Position where you like, but make sure that it fills the entire half-circle.  Invert selection; hit delete on tube; select none. Use a Blend Mode that you like.  Merge visible with the Paper 1 layer.

Raster 8 - Select All; Float; Defloat; Selections; Modify; Expand by 1. Open Paper 7; copy and paste as New Layer.  Move the paper so the area you like will be displayed in the rectangle.  Invert selection; hit delete on paper; select none.

Raster 9 - Repeat above using same Paper.

Raster 10 - For my tube/tag I found it a bit bright, so I adjusted the Brightness/Contrast a bit.  You can do whatever works best for your tag.

Copy and paste your Tube. Add other elements to decorate your tag; I used Moon, Candle, Black Cat, Dead Grass, Empty Lantern, Broken Glass.

Add Drop Shadows to your layers.

I cropped then re-sized all layers. When you re-size, be sure to sharpen as needed.

Now add the proper Crediting. Adding them after resizing your tag will ensure that they remain crisp; clear; and easy to read.

Now add your Name.
