You'll need a tube of choice I am using the awesome work of Jose Cano you can purchase a license to use his art MPT.
Tag template by Cakes from Crazy Cakes Scraps that you can get here.
Font of choice.
Eye Candy 4000 (optional)
Mura Meister's Copies
A kit of choice I am using a fab kit from Cora from Pimp my tags with Scraps called Bad Girl.



Ready? Now lets get to tagging!


Delete the copy right layer and re-size the canvas if you need to.

We're going to work from the bottom up and I hope this is not too confusing for you.

On the bottom greenish circle layer go to selections-select all-float-defloat- add a new raster layer and flood fill with a color of choice I used red then modify-expand by 3 then add a new raster layer flood fill white and adjust-add noise-uniform, monochrome checked and settings at 35% select none. Add a drop shadow of choice. Move that layer below the greenish circle layer. Delete the original circle layer.

Now below this layer on the bottom of the layer palette I added pixel words BAD GIRLS you can use words of choice. Then go to objects-align-center in canvas and convert to raster layer. Add the Mura Meisters copies to this layer with the settings in the screen shot below then add a mask of choice.

On your color palette make your foreground and background colors from your tube then use a foreground background gradient. On the pink square layer selections-select all-float-defloat flood fill with your gradient then select none. Delete the original pink square layer. Repeat the above steps for the other pink square.

On the big oval layer selections-select all-float-defloat open paper 3 from the kit re-size it so it fits nicely into the oval then selections-invert and hit delete. Selections-invert-modify-expand by 3 add a new raster layer flood fill with white and adjust-add noise-same settings as before. Move this layer below the flood fill layer and delete the original big oval layer.

I deleted the splatter layer.

On the starline layer selections-select all-float-defloat I used my paint brush and colored them in black you can use a color that goes with your tube, then select none.

On the long pink rectangle selections-select all-float-defloat add a new raster layer and flood fill with the gradient from earlier. Select none,delete the original rectangle layer.

On the line layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new raster layer flood fill with a color of choice to go with your tube I used red. Select none, delete the original line layer.

On the stars layer selections-select all-float-defloat I used my paint brush and colored them red you can use a color that goes with your tube, then select none. Repeat these steps for the other stars layer.

Star layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new raster layer flood fill with color of choice add noise with the same setting as earlier, select none and delete the original star layer. Repeat these steps for the other star layer.

Wordart layer (Bad Girls Club) add a Eye Candy 4000 gradient glow with the settings shown in the screen shot below.

I added Ribbon 1 from the kit placed it where I thought it looked best on the tag and added a drop shadow.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer I moved it close to the rectangle so it sort of looked like she was behind it. Duplicate adjust-blur-gaussian blur set at 3 then change the blend mode on that layer to soft light, add a drop shadow to the original tube layer.

I added the Bad Girl case and the Skull re-sizing them both so they fit the tag nicely.

Adding your name in a font of choice I used the same gradient you use throughout the tag. Then selections-select all-float-defloat-modify-expand by 2 add a new raster layer and flood fill with with add the same noise settings we used throughout the tag move it below your name and add a drop shadow.

You'll need a tube of choice I am using the gorgeous work of Jennifer Janesko you can purchase a license to use her art CILM.
Template 118 from Rachel at Scraps of Enchantment.
Font of choice.
Mask of choice.
Eye Candy 4000 (optional)
A kit of choice I am using a simply gorgeous kit from Missy at Scraps With Attitude called Magical Moments.



Let's get started!


Open up Rachel's template duplicate it and close the original.
Delete the © layer, hide the flower doodle 1 and flower doodle 2.

Select background1 layer selections>select all>float>defloat open a paper of choice from the kit (there are some GORGEOUS papers in this kit) re-size if you see fit then selections>invert and hit delete.
Repeat the above steps for the remaining background layers closing off the original layers.

I colorized the flower overlay layer to suit the tag.

Copy your tube of choice making sure its on top of the background 1 layer (it will be the paper you pasted first) align it so it sits just level with the frame so it looks like its under it a bit. Duplicate the tube layer then adjust>blur>blur more and set to soft light.


Decorate the tag with elements of choice I used the purple and brownish ribbon and fitted it so it look like it was holding the tag together. Add drop shadows of choice if you think your tag needs them.

Add a new raster layer on the bottom but above the background layer (Raster 1 which is white) Flood fill with a color of choice apply your mask of choice and lower the opacity so it doesn't stand out too much.

Add your name in a font of choice I used the color white added some noise then a thin eye candy gradient glow in a color that goes with the tag and a drop shadow.

Add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!
