I used the wonderful art of Suzanne Woolcott, you must purchase a licence to use her art which can be done here
Lets begin!
1. Open new image 600x600 and fill with white 2. copy and paste your tube as a new layer 3. Using your selection tool set to rectangle, draw out a small rectangle to the left side of your tag, add new raster layer, and fill with a colour from your tube, keep selected, selections, modify, expand by 5 pixels, add new raster layer, and flood fill this with a light colour, deselect and drop this layer below your colour layer.
4. Hide your tube layer and white background, and merge these 2 visible, add a drop shadow of choice.
5. duplicate this 2 times and move them to where you think they look good, layers merge visible.
6. With your magic wand, click inside the colour area of one of your small rectangles, copy and paste your image/tube of choice as a new layer, selections invert, hit delete on your keyboard. repeat this for the other 2 rectangles.
7. Unhide your tube and background.
8. With your pen tool and a colour from your tube, line width 3, line style dot, draw out a line vertically to one side of your frames. Convert to raster and repeat this another 2 times, moving them to where they look good. I also changed the length of mine. add drop shadow of choice and move this layer under your frames.
9. Add embelishments of choice to your frames and the bottom of your dotted lines, again hide your tube and white layer, merge visible.
10. duplicate this layer, on the original, not the copy, adjust, blur, guassian blur, 25
11. still on the original, effects, almethera-transline.
12. Make your white background active and add a new raster layer, add any brushes of choice to this layer.
13. Add your copyright information and your watermark.
14. Using your font of choice, write out your name and your all done. I repeated the duplicate, blur and transline effect on my text layer, but you can do whatever you like. Your all done :D
