Thanks ladies for the beautiful freebies!

Font of choice

Plugins- Xenofex constellation

OK - Open a new image 650x 550 floodfill white

Open Frame 2 from the kit, copy & paste as a new layer, resize by 85%

With your selection tool set on rectangle, draw around the 2 inner frames, copy paper2 & paste as a new layer, selections, invert, delete and move below the frame layer

Paste your tube as a new layer inside one of the frames, erase any overhang or draw a selection around the frame and invert, back to your tube and hit delete.

Copy & paste flower3 as a new layer, resize and position at bottom of frame, open 2 of the stars, resize & position at top of frame

Open tag1 copy & paste as a new layer, resize & position on top left corner, use your raster deform tool to rotate it slightly, sharpen more - copy ribbon 1 and paste as a new layer, resize and position on the tag, erase a bit so it looks like it is going through the chain

copy & paste the diamond rope, resize and sharpen more

Now open the WordArt by Tizzy - it is all on different layers - position one inside the other frame and add another at bottom of tag

Add your name to the tag and add a drop shadow of 2 3 70 7

Hide your white background & merge visible

Now add a paper from the kit as a new layer and apply the mask - I applied the mask twice, once to a pink paper and then to the grey paper and merged down - use your deform tool to push the mask layer in a bit
