**Please note - I have included screen shots of all the settings I used for each effect. You are welcome to use these settings if you would like, or you can play around with them to create your own look, the choice is yours.**

Lets Begin :

Start by opening a new 800 x 650 transparent canvas. (Don't worry you will crop & re-size it at the end of the tutorial, this just gives you lots of room to work.)

Open your Rainbow element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then position it to the center of your canvas.

Now open your Star Doodle - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 70%. Position your Star Doodle element to the base of your Rainbow element.

Now open your Happy Bug element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%. Now position your Happy Bug element to the left lower side of your Rainbow. (See my tag for reference if needed.)

Open your Frog element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%, then re-size it again to 70%. Now position your Frog element to the right lower side of your Rainbow element.

Open your Bow 4 element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 70%. Position your Bow 4 element to the top of your Rainbow & place it in the center.

Open your Flower 5 element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%. Position your Flower 5 element to the left side so that it is on top of your Frog element.

Now go to your Layers Pallet - move your Flower 5 layer down so that it is directly below your Frog layer.

Now open your Flower 4 element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%. Position it so that it is on top of your Happy Bug element.

Now go to your Layers Pallet - move your Flower 4 layer down so that it is directly below your Happy Bug layer.

Now click on your Text Tool - (Screen shot below shows you where to locate your text tool, & where to set your font choice.)
The font I used :
Antsy Pants
Size : 80 Pixels (This will vary depending on the length of your name)

Foreground Color : Set to nul
Background Color : #afdef6



Now type out your name, then position it so that it is between your Happy Bug & Frog elements.

Go to your layers pallet - right click on your Text layer - then click Convert To Raster Layer.
Now make sure that your text layer is below both your Happy Bug & Frog layers.

Then go to Effects - click Plugins - then click Eye Candy 5 Impact - then click Bevel -
Apply settings below :


Then click on your Lighting Tab & check your settings there as well :


Then click Ok.

Now go to Effects - click Plugins - then click Eye Candy 4000 - then click Gradient Glow 
Apply settings below :

Then click on your Color tab :


Now click ok.

Now go to your layers pallet - click on your Rainbow layer -
Now go to Effects - Plugins - Eye Candy 5 Impact - Bevel -
Apply the exact same settings that you used on your Text layer.
Click Ok.

Now go to Effects - click 3D Effects - then click Drop Shadow
Apply settings below :

 
Then click Ok.

Now continue to apply your Bevel & Drop Shadow to all of your layers except for your Star Doodle layer & your Text layer (because you already applied it to this one)

Once you have your effects done :

Go back to your layers pallet & click on your Flower 5 layer -

Open your Ribbon 1 element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 50%. Now position your Ribbon 1 element to the right side of your tag.
Go to Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow
Apply the same settings you used for your previous elements. 
Click Ok.

Now go to your Layers Pallet - right click on your Ribbon 1 layer - then click Duplicate.
Now go to Image - click Flip Horizontal.
Using your Move Tool - position your duplicated Ribbon 1 element to the left side of your tag.

Back to your layers pallet - Move your duplicated Ribbon 1 layer down so that it is directly below your Happy Bug layer.


Still in your layers pallet - click on the very bottom layer -

Now open PP6 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas -
Then go to Layers - click Load/Save Mask - then click Load Mask From Disk -

Once the screen below opens - choose your mask of choice - then click Load :



Once your Mask has been loaded - go to  your layers pallet - right click on your Mask layer -

Then click Merge - then Merge Group


Now re-size your Mask to 80%, then again to 80%.

Using your Move Tool - position your Mask to the left side of your tag - (see my tag for reference if needed)

Now go back to your Layers Pallet - right click on your Mask layer - then click Duplicate. Now go to Image - click Flip Horizontal. Using your Move Tool - position your Duplicated Mask to the right side of your tag.

Once you are happy with all of your elements, text & mask - go to your layers pallet - right click on any layer - then click Merge - then Merge Visible.

Now activate your Crop Tool - crop off any access canvas that you did not use. Being careful not to crop to closely to your design.

Once your tag is cropped - you may or may not need to re-size it, this depends on where you intend on using your tag. 
Once your tag is re-sized - I like to apply a Sharpen to it, so if you would like - go to Adjust - click Sharpness - then click Sharpen.

Now all that is left is to save your tag as a PNG file & you have completed this tutorial!!♥
