Ok let's get started!
Open your template, and go to Image, Canvase size 700x700 (we will resize later)
Open paper 7 from kit and tube of choice
Select circle layer. Using your magic wand tool click in circle. Copy and past your tube and arrange
Selections, inverte, delete
On your tube layer, Layers, duplicate
On bottom tube layer go to Adjust, Blur, gaussian blur, set at 3.00. Ok.
Now click on top tube layer. And set blend mode to screen
Merge down so that you only have 1 tube layer, add drop shadow of choice.
Ok, now Select your original circle layer again, Selections, select all, float, defloat, and copy and paste paper 7 as new layer. Selections, invert hit delete on your keyboard. Selections none
Go to Effects, Screenworks (Light gauze) set on 0, ok
Select circle frame layer. Selections, select all, float, defloat, Layers, new raster layer, and flood fill with a color of choice to match your tube. Selections,none. Delete original circle frame, add drop shadow of choice

Select your rectangle layer. Selections, select all, float, defloat, Layers, new raster layer, Flood fill with color or gradient of choice. I made a gradient out of 2 different shades of purple.
Then go to Effects, Screenworks, same settings as you used on your circle, ok. Delete original rectangle layer.
Click on your glitter trails layer. Same as above, Selections, select all, float, defloat
Now what I do for small things like this, is open a new canvas, and flood fill with the color or gradient I want to use. Then copy and paste that as a new layer like I would a paper. Selections, invert, delete. Select none. And delete your original layer.
Now repeat the same process for the glitter swirls layer.
Now close out your white background layer, and merge visible.

Now open element 12 from kit and copy and paste as new layer.
Ok, now add a new raster layer right above your white bottom layer. Flood fill with paper, color ,or gradient of choice. I used a gradient.
Open your mask. Layers, new mask layer from image, and find your mask in the drop down menu, hit ok.
Now you can delete your white background layer, and merge visible.
Now copy and paste your word art from kit as new layer and arrange at the op of your tag.

Now copy and paste element 5 from kit at the top of your frame. Copy and paste your flower element and place on top of that.
Copy and paste element 13, the purple glitter, a couple of times, and send to bottom layer. Arrange to where you like it.
Now you can resize your tag if you'd like, just make sure you have the "resize all layers checked" And merge visible.

I used A&S Rhino font, and added a slight inner bevel, then applied the same gradient glow I used with the word art, and added a drop shadow.
