Okay, let's get started!

1. 

File - New - New Image - 750 x 750 - transparent
Paste 'frame2' to your canvas, no resizing necessary
Add a dropshadow of 0, 0, 40, 4.00
Move it down a smidgeon on your canvas.
Add the color #ff70af to your Background and Fill Properties on your Material Palette
Using your preset shape tool, draw a pink rectangle behind the set of dots on the frame to the left
Convert it to a raster layer
Duplicate this rectangle and move it to the center set of dots

Layers - Merge - Merge Visible
Now unhide your frame layer again.
Click on the merged layer to make it active now
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise
Random - 28% - Monochrome: Unchecked

2. 

Now let's make a gradient to use!
Now keep the pink in your Material Palette
Add black in the Foreground & Stroke Properties of your Material Palette
Using your mouse, click on the center of one of the colors in your palette
A box should open up
Click on the gradient tab
Click the little arrow beside the picture of the current gradient
And choose 'foreground-background' in your gradient choices
It should be the two colors you have in your material palette currently
Style: Linear 
Angle: 46
Repeats: 4
Click OK

Now using your gradient, use your preset shape tool again
Draw rectangles a bit bigger than the rectangles in the frame
(or you can draw one big rectangle, up to you) 
Make sure these gradient rectangles are below the frame layer
This is what you should now have: 



3. 

Paste your tube to your canvas.
I resized the one I am using by 85%. 
Add a dropshadow to your tube, I used the same as before.
Place it exactly where you want it.
Now add your tube to the gradient rectangles in your frame.
Trim off any excess
I duplicated my tubes layer
And then changed the blend mode of the bottom layer to Luminance (Legacy)


And then changed the blend mode of the top layer to Multiply.
Hide all layers except the gradient rectangles and the layered tubes over those gradients
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible
Now duplicate your merged layer
On the top one, Effects - Texture Effects - Blinds
Add these settings: 


Now, lower the opacity of this layer to 65.
Unhide your other layers.

4. 

Now using the same gradient, and the preset shape tool again
Draw a rectangle coming from behind the frame. 
Convert to a raster layer. 
Using your raster deform tool, rotate your rectangle a bit to the left with Deform.
(Using your mouse, grab the tiny square in the center and move it upward & left.)
This is what it should look like.

Selections - Select All
Selections - Float 
Selections - Defloat 
Selections - Modify - Expand by 7

Add a new raster layer and floodfill it with black

Selections - Select None.
Now, move your black floodfilled layer beneath your original rotated gradient.
Move your other gradient layer beneath the black layer. 
Go to Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise 
Random - 36% - Monochrome: unchecked

Now, click on your black floodfilled layer to make it active
Selections - Select All
Selections - Float 
Selections - Defloat 

Add a new raster layer again
Click on the pink color in your material palette to open up the properties
To the right hand side, you will see the word 'Texture' 
Make sure there is a check mark in that box
Now, click the arrow beside the picture of the texture 
Choose 'Grid' in your options 
Angle: 0 
Scale: 60 

Now, floodfill the new raster layer with the grid using the color pink.
Selections - Select None
Click on your black floodfilled layer again and add a dropshadow
I used the one same as before.
Using your  tube again, add the bits of it you want on your main gradient layer.
I changed the blend modes to 'Soft Light'.
Here is a preview of texture in Material Palette, and my tag so far..



6. 

Now it's time for pasting elements from the scrap kit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, let's get this party started. 

1. 
New - New Image - 750 x 750.
Paste the tube onto your canvas - resize by 60%.
Paste your frame of choice onto your canvas, I used #9 - Purple.
Move your tube to the right of your frame, as pictured above.
Add dropshadow, I used 0, 0, 30, 3.00.
Now add a dropshadow to your frame also. Same one. 

2.
Set your material palette to your gradient of choice.
Using your preset shape tool, draw a rectangle beneath your frame so that both open areas are filled in.
Paste a part of your tube on one side of the frame over the gradient layer. 
Duplicate the tube, and change the blend mode on the bottom to 'Luminance Legacy'
Change the blend mode on the top one to 'Soft Light'
Now duplicate them both - Image - Mirror so that it's on the other side too.
I also added the tube to the center of the frame.
Adjust - Hue: 0 Saturation: 0 to make it monochrome
Trim the tube, and then lower the opacity to 6.
With your preset shape tool set to rectangle, draw a rectangle over the tubes, color #60457a
Now change that blend mode on that layer to 'Overlay'. 
Make sure that layer is directly above the tubes layer.

3. 
Paste your texture of choice over top of the gradient layer. 
Trim it so it is not coming from behind the frame on sides, top or bottom.
If necessary, change the color to match your tag colors.
I changed mine to Hue - 192; Saturation - 71
Now change the blend mode of the texture layer to 'Overlay'. 
Using the color #60457a - I typed the words 'LIMITED' and 'EDITION'
I used 'Impact' font, size 48.
Rotate them by 90 degrees and place them right between the texture and tube layers. 
Hide the main tube layer, merge all other layers.
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible
Unhide your tube layer again.

So far, this is what you should have: 



4. 
Now, using your preset shape tool again, draw a rectangle coming out from top of the frame.
I used the gradient again, but you can use any gradient or color of choice. 
I used all the same steps as above, using the texture, tubes and blend modes.
For the closeup in the middle, I used blend modes: Luminance (Legacy) & Screen.
Hide the frame and tube layers, and merge visible the rest of the layers.
Now with that layer active: 
Selections - Select All 
Selections - Float 
Selections - Defloat 

Selections - Modify - Expand by 4
Add a new raster layer and flood fill with the gradient again.
Lower it beneath the rectangle layer we just made. 
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise 
Random - 20% - Monochrome: Checked
Add a dropshadow.
 

Now, merge visible once again.
Duplicate this layer.
Image - Rotate - Free Rotate by 5%
Duplicate the rotated one - Image - Mirror
Unhide the tube and frame layer now.
Make the rectangle layer active again.
Duplicate once again - Image - Rotate - Free Rotated by 5%
Right click the layer, Arrange - Send to Bottom

Bring it out from behind the frame to the right
(see my tag for reference) 
Duplicate layer - Image - Mirror.

5. 
Using the preset shape tool again, and the color #482574
I drew a smaller rectangle on top of the main rectangle layer and under the frame layer.
Make it so it's coming out from under the frame. 
Add a dropshadow, same as before.

Using the preset shape tool again, rectangle: 
Line Style: diamond Width: 2.00 Color: #
482574
Background & Fill Properties: transparent
Draw a dotted rectangle in front of the frame layer. 
Objects - Align - Center in Canvas

6. 
Add your accents (provided in the zip 'Supplies') 
Add the pixel text to the frame, and a heart in the middle using preset shape tool.
Add your text to the bottom of the tag, using Impact font, Size 72
Add the word 'Certified' to the purple rectangle, using Bank Gothic font, Size 28

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Pre-Tutorial Note: 
In this tutorial, I used an oldie but a goldie from Elias Chatzoudis. 
This is also an old template of mine, back when my blog was Eye Candii.. 
We're talking years ago now, so apologize for the state of my template. 
Nothing merged and a kajillion layers. 
So, my suggestion is, click on what you want to work with using your cursor, and then work with it, rather than searching for names of layers. 
So that is how we will roll with this tutorial, rather than naming the layers, I'll tell you what I'm doing. MUCH easier, lol.

1. 
Open up the template, and Shift + D, close the original. 
Now open your tube of choice, so you can match colors a bit easier. 
I started by adding papers, gradients and changing the colors of the template layers to match my tag.
So, to start, click on all of the dotted circle layers, change the color to suit your tag.
Then click on the glitter layers in the tags and change the color to match your tag.
This will be a huge job done.. 
You can add gradients in place of the noisy glitter layers too, if you choose.
Too change the color of any of the layers , 
go to Adjust - Hue & Saturation - Colorize - I used H: 216 H: 92 
If you are going to add a gradient, or paper in any of the layers, do so by this method.. 
Selections - Select All
Selections - Float
Selections - Defloat 

Add a new layer, and then paste your paper or add your gradient. 
I always hide or delete the original layer
(if you think you might change something, just hide it.. better to use the original layer) 
Add your noise, or use a plugin, and then add a drop shadow of choice. 

2. 
So now you should have all of your colors changed, papers added, etc.
Let's add the gradient now to the circle layers, if you haven't already done that. 
Click the layer to make it active, use the selections method used above, and add your gradient of choice.
The white circle layers above your gradient layers, I changed them to purple by the same selections method above.
Hide the original layer, and then I used the Penta.Com - Jeans plugin to them.  
Default settings.
Add a drop shadow of choice.

3.
At this point, I deleted all my hidden layers I don't need anymore.
Then I hid all of my active layers, except the two gradient layers. 
Make sure one of the gradient layers are active. 
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible.
Unhide all of your layers again.  
Make sure the newly merged gradient layer is active.
We are now going to use our tube, or a piece of the tube to fill our gradients.
Paste it onto your canvas so it is right above the merged gradient layer.
I used the bottom half of my tube, by cutting off the legs from the tube.
But you can use a full tube if you wish, to may want to resize it if your tube is large.
Once pasted onto your canvas, go to Mura's Meister - Copies
Then choose Wallpaper (rotate) in the dropdown menu.
Change the Number by sliding the button over until it looks like the screen is full of your tube, 
with not much openings in between.
It will be different for everyone depending on the tube and how much of that tube you choose to use.
Hit the 'Ok'. 
Your canvas should be full of that tube, and that is all you can see.. 
Lower this layer to just above the gradient layers you did, if it isn't already there.
Click on your merged gradient layer now. 
Selections - Select None
Selections - Float 
Selections - Defloat 
Selections - Invert 

Click on the wallpaper layer, and hit the delete button.
Selections - None.
Duplicate your wallpaper layer now.
Change the blend mode of the bottom one to Luminance (legacy)
And change the blend mode of the top layer to Screen.
Add a drop shadow to the gradient layer. 

4. 
This is where we start to pretty it up some more.
Choose some elements from the kit you are using.  
From the kit I am using, these are the elements I chose.  Check tag for placement if using the same one.
Elements 2, 7, 15, 17, 22, 30, 32, 33, 36, 38, 45, and 46.
Add a drop shadow of choice to each.. 
Now in the tutorial supplies, and the accents provided you can add to the tag, 
again looking at my tag for placement.
I used only one of the Rockattudes from the wordart on the template, and moved it to one of the sides.
Add a drop shadow and then duplicate it.  
Image - Mirror.  
Move it to where you want it on the other side.
Using your pixel font, add the words 'rockattude' to the top of the black rectangles. 
Using the font Peignot - type the word 'Rockattude' to the small rectangle. 
Add the screws by Dozi to each side of that rectangle. 

5. 
Add your masks, name and watermark to the tag and call it finished! 
Thank you so much for trying my tutorial.
