Please send a copy of your result with the same background as mine #1B1919. You can change it for your own use of course.

****************************

Let's start!


Do not forget the drop shadow to add to your items.
For my shadow I am using the filter-3D Shadom Lokas Software, a great filter which is free!

1. Open your template "TEMPLATE DBA 145" and close the layer "Layer1 & Shape1".


2. Close these layers: "copy Shape 2, Shape 2 copy 11, 8.6, 5, 3".
And merge the remaining layers  -> Layers-> Merge-> Merge visible.
And rename this layer " hearts1". Close the Hearts layer and reopen the other 6 :
"Shape 2 copy, Shape 2 copy 11, 8.6, 5, 3" and merge visible and then rename" Hearts 2 ".


3. Open "Vivis_designs_paillettes1" that you will find in your supplies, copy paste as new layer and position towards the top as in my result above.
Duplicate this layer  -> Layers-> Duplicate-> Image-> Invert.


4. Open a new layer by -> Layers-> New raster layer and fill with #1B1919 and move this layer to the bottom.
Rename "Background" and make your image bigger -> Image-> Canvas Size  650x630  and close this layer.
Add another layer above the background and fill it with a color you've chosen. I used #BDBAA8
Open your mask "MelyCuties_mask7" in PSP.
Apply your mask -> Mask -> New -> From an image-> Ok Then Masks-> Delete.


5. Open "Vivis_designs_shape" Then copy and paste as new layer above the mask.
Then colour as you wish and lower the opacity of this layer to 65%.


6. Go to your layer "hearts 1" and with the Replacer tool and fill the color # D8D5C7 if you are using the same tube as me. Otherwise pick a color from your tube.
Go to your "hearts2" and using the Replacer tool, change the color to #000000.
Apply the Eye Candy Filter  "hearts 1" . Click on Filters-> Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Nature-> Corona with the following settings:
To add your own colors click on the small pots of paint and pick your colors and ok.



Do the same with the layer "hearts2" , using the same settings but change the colors like this:
Click on the small pots of paint -> ok:



7. Open "Vivis_designs_JFIAL_Flower" , recolour if needed and copy paste as new layer.
Apply the same filter through -> Filters-> Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Nature-> Corona with these settings:


Posption it on the left as in my result -> Layers-> Duplicate-> Image-> Mirror.

8. Put yourself on the layer Shape1 and take your Replacement tool and fill with #000000 or a colour of your choice.
Then click on Selections-> Select All-> Selections > Float> Selections > Defloat-> Invert
Copy paste your tube as new layer and place it on the left as in my result and hit delete on your keyboard.
Then copy and paste your tube a second time and position on the right as in my result above. Remove the excess with your lasso tool.
Settings for the lasso tool:

Type of selection: Freehand
Progressivity: 1
Anti-alias: checked


9. Open your WordArt "UGIlovetwighlight" or the one you have chosen. Copy paste as new layer and apply the Impact Eye Candy filter.
Click on Filters-> Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Nature-> Corona with the following settings:
Change your colors if needed



And place as in my result. Then duplicate thise Wordart layer. 
And re-apply the filter: Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Nature-> Corona but with the following settings:


 
Then -> Effects-> 3D Effects-> Inner Bevel  with these settings:



***********************


Resize your tag  to 80%. Add the credits then -> Layers-> Merge-> Merge visible layers. Your tag is now finished.  Save your tag in JPG.

That's it! I hope that you have enjoyed this tut! Vivi.
