You'll need a tube of choice.
I am using the gorgeous art of Tatjana Willms you can purchase tubes to use for tags here.
Font of choice.
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow
A kit of choice I am using part of a fab kit from the girls over at Pimp my tags with Scraps called Spring Love. I am using Pimp'd Designz portion.
Ready?
Let's get started!
Open up a new canvas 700x700 we can alway scrop/re-size later.
Now open up frame 4 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas. Take your magic wand and click inside the frame then go to selections-modify-expand by 4. Now open up a paper of choice I used paper number one then selections-invert and on the paper layer hit delete. Move this layer below the frame.
Open up the rainbow element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely then move it below the frame layer BUT above the paper layer. Erase any bits that over hang then duplicate and mirror it.
Open up the greens element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer on either side of the frame re-size so it fits nicely duplicate and mirror it. Now open up a flower element from the kit I used number 4 and place it at the top of the greens duplicate and mirror.
I used different elements for the tag and just sort of decorated it. I used the bunny and lady bugs. As well as the glitter circle from the kit I used that for the bottom layer then duplicated it and mirrored it, arranging it to my liking.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer re-size it if it doesn't fit nicely. Duplicate it and change the blend mode to soft light and add a drop shadow same as the screen-shot below.
Now we're going to add your name in a font of choice and add a gradient glow shown in the screen-shot below as well as the drop shadow used.
Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow.

Ready?
Let's get started!
Open up the template shift + D to duplicate it close out the original.
Delete the copyright layer.
On Circle1 layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new raster layer and flood fill with a color of choice I used a dark grey, then add some noise to make it stand out. Repeat the same steps for Raster1 layer EXCEPT do not add any noise to this layer. Close off the original layers.
Next on Circle3 layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new layer and flood fill with a gradient of choice I used a background-foreground gradient. Then add Xero Fritillary settings shown in the screen-shot below. Close off the original layer.
On the Rounded Edges Rectangle layer seletions-select all-float-defloat add a new layer flood fill with a color of choice and close off the original layer.
On the Frame background layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new layer and flood fill with the gradient we used earlier. Open up your close up and paste it as a new layer then go to selections-invert and hit delete make sure you are ON the tube layer when you do this. Then duplicate it go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur- 3 change the blend mode to soft light and the original layer blend mode to Luminane L. I also added VanDerLee - Unplugged X - Pattern offset, use the settings that fit your tag, on the top layer of the closeup.
On the with passion layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new raster layer and with your paint brush and a color of choice paint the words to match the tag. Select none and close off the original layer.
On heart 1 & 2 layer add some noise.
On the 3 hearts layer selections-select all-float-defloat add a new raster layer flood fill with a color of choice to match your tag and add some noise. Close off the original layer.
Open up Ribbon Wrap 2 from the kit paste it as a new layer I rotated it and re-sized it to fit nicely around the
frame.
Open up the wordart from the kit paste it as a new layer I placed mine at the top and re-sized it so it fit nicely on the tag.
Now we're going to add our tube so open that up copy and paste it as a new layer I put it over in the cirlces. Now if you have some of the tube hanging over here is how you fix that. Go to the Circle2 layer selections-select all-float-defloat-invert then back on your tube layer and use your eraser brush to erase what is hanging over. Duplicate this layer and go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur-3 and change the blend mode to soft light and add a drop shadow. Settings shown below in the screen-shot.
Now we're going to add a mask layer to the very bottom of the tag just to add something to it so add a new layer and move it to the bottom of the layer pallette. Flood fill with the gradient from earlier and add the mask, then a little noise effect.
Its time to add your name in a font of choice, I also added some noise, inner bevel,gradient glow and drop shadow. Screen-shot below shows the settings for the gradient glow,inner bevel and the drop shadow the noise setting is whatever fits your tag or tastes.
