Open up template 123, duplicate and close off the original
Delete the information layer, the stars top and stars bottom layers, Reach for the stars1 and 2 layers and lastly the Words layer.

Go back to your template and activate the Pink circle layer. Move this circle slightly to make it centered in the outter black circle. Select all>Float>Invert
Paste the paper as a new layer and postion to your liking then press delete. Delete the Pink circle layer

Go back onto the circle layer you just made and Select all>Float>Modify>Contract by 2
Activate the Black circle layer and press the delete key. Drag this layer to sit above the circle layer you just made
Am i making sence? lol

On the Black circle layer i added DSB Flux - Bright Noise Intensity-45 Lighter. Im sure you can get the same look from the standard noise effect
Add a drop shadow i used: Vertical and horizontal set to 0, Opacity at 66 Blur at 4 and black

Open Paper 16 and copy
Go back to your template and activate the Frame 1 Back layer. Move this circle slightly to make it centered in the outter black circle. Select all>Float>Invert
Paste the paper as a new layer and postion to your liking then press delete. Delete the Frame 1 Back layer

Repeat the last steps with paper 16 on layers Frame back 2 and frame back 3

Activate Frame 3. Select all>Float Add a new raster layer and fill with a glitter fill or white and add some noise. I used a glitter fill but not sure where i got it from so i cant share it sorry.
Go to eyecandy 4 - gradient glow. Use the default setting and change the glow width to 7. Click on the colour tab and change the colour to Black
Delete the Frame 3 layer

Repeat the last step for layer Frame 1 and Frame 2 but for frame 2 change the colour of the gradient glow to #d52884

Add a little noise effect to layers Lines 1 and 2

Open up your tube. Im using the gorgeous artwork by Isael Rac you can purchase his tubes Here
My tube has a close up and a full view tube.
For the main circle i used the close up tube. Copy your tube and go to your Pink circle layer and Select all>Float>Invert
Paste your tube as a new layer and postion to you liking. Now press delete

I used the smaller full body view for this next part. You might want to resize your tube to fit the side frames.
Copy your smaller and go to your top frame back layer. Select all>Float>Invert.
Paste your tube as a new layer and position so you have a top body/shoulder shot of your tube and then press the delete button

Follow the last step again for the middle and bottom frame layers. For the middle frame you want your tube to be positioned so the bum/lower body area is showing and for the bottom frame you can either have legs and shoes showing or as i did add another face shot.

*see my tag for positioning*

Wooohoo nearly there now :o)

Open up the barbwire element and resize by 50%. Copy and paste as a new layer and move it to sit above the top strip layer.
Drag the barbwire with your mover tool so it starts at the left side of the strip. Go to layers>duplicate and move the duplicate over to the right side of the strip.
With your eraser tool you can erase the overlapping bits of wire.

If i loose you here with my dodgy explaining just scroll up and have a peek at my tag. lol

Open up Bow 1 and Skull 1
Resize the Skull element by 20% and copy and paste it as a new layer onto your Bow image. Place it in the middle of the bow to cover the knot. Merge Visible

Resize the bow image by 15%. Copy and paste your bow over to the template image. Bring this layer to the top and posistion so it sits over the overlapping top left corner of the middle frame
Duplicate this layer and place it over the top overlapping right corner of the bottom frame.

Have i lost you yet? lol

Open up stargem 1 and 3 resize them both by 40%
Copy Stargem 1 and paste it as a new layer onto your image and place it at the top center of your black circle outline
*see my tag*

Copy and paste stargem 3 as a new layer and position it to sit to the left of the first star so it follows the circle. Duplicate this layer and move the star to sit on the right side of the black star again following the circle round.
You should have an arc around the top made up of 3 stars
Merge the 3 star layers together and duplicate. Now go to Image>Flip and position it at the bottom of the black circle layer

Woooohooo thats the hard parts out the way, now for the text

I used Happy Joy size 72 stroke 2. Forground - white, background - #d52884
This works best with a nice bold font

Add your name to your tag as a vector layer. Go to Layers>Convert to raster layer.
Add the same gradient glow as before using the colour black

Now with your magic wand tool have it set to: Mode - Add, Match mode - RGB value, Tolerance - 5 and have it set to inside

click inside your text to select the pink on each letter and add your fave bevel/glass settings
I used Lokas Gel and my fave setting.
Bevel width-13, Bevel depth-100, colour overlay unchecked, Highlight opacity-29, shadow opacity-10

Add your copyright information to your tag

Your all done yay save your tag as a png file and go show it off :o)
