Let’s get started:

Remember to save often!

Open a new canvas 600 x 600, and flood fill white.

Copy and paste your frame, (element2) as a new layer.

Resize if needed. Duplicate this layer, and close off the duplicate for now.

On the bottom frame layer, copy and paste your tube as a new layer.

Add a drop shadow to your tube, and arrange where you want it on your tag.

Unhide your duplicated frame layer.

Using your selection tool, select the top half of your frame, and hit delete on your keyboard. This should remove the top part of frame so it will look like your tube is coming out of the frame.

Back on the original frame layer, using your magic wand, click inside the circle of your frame. Selection- Modify- Expand by 5.

Copy and paste paper 1 as a new layer. Resize the paper by 80%. Selections- Invert- Delete. Move this paper below your frame. Add a drop shadow to your bottom frame layer.

Now copy and paste your elements, resize and arrange around your tag where you would like to put them. Add a drop shadow to each element as you go.

Copy and paste element 4 (the wire) and duplicate it 3 times, so you have 4 copies of it.

Move each copy and arrange so that your whole canvas is covered in the wire.

Right click on each layer and merge down, until all layers are merged together.

Add a drop shadow to this layer.

Move this layer just to bottom of layer palette, just above white backgound.

Now go to Layers- New mask layer- From image

Locate dmsk0025 in the drop menu and apply.

In layers palette, right click on mask layer and merge group. Resize by 110%.

Copy and paste paper 2 above background layer (under your wire layer).

Layers- New mask layer- From image

Locate WSL_84 in the drop menu and apply.

In layers palette, right click on mask layer and merge group.
