What you'll need:

You'll need a tube of choice I am using the awesome art of Verymany. You can purchase their art for signature tags at Pics for Design.

Fonts of choice

Eye Candy - Gradient Glow
Star Tag template 2 by Jasice here.

A kit of choice I am using a gorgeous  kit called EMOlution by Pimp'd Designz.  You can find this kit over at Pimp my tags with Scraps store and the kit can be found here.


Ready?
Let's get started!

Open up the template shift+d to duplicate it then close out the original.
Go to image-canvas size where it says width and height change both to 700 making sure its pixels.

Delete the watermark layer. I also closed off the white star layers and the pink star layer.
On the black rectangle layer I added the purple stitch from the kit re-size it so it fits along the rectangle.

On the pink rectangle layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new layer and flood fill with a color from your tube. Close off the original pink rectangle layer.

On the gray rectangle layer selections-select all-float-defloat open up a paper of choice I used paper 1 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Close off the original gray rectangle layer.

Now I added the checkered print element from the kit and sparkle 2 from the kit  arrange them to your liking and re-size them a little if needed.

Now we're gonna go back to the top layer on the palette copy and paste your tube arrange it how you want. Since mine was only a half tube I used ribbon one from the kit to cover the bottom of the rectangle and my tube, re-size it so it fits there nicely. I also added skull 2 from the kit re-sized it and placed it on the other side of my tube.

In a font of choice I used Bring tha noize type out your name I added some noise to mine then a graident glow and a drop shadow settings shown in the screen-shot below.
