with Scraps
Here
Wordart by Tlc Creations

Plugin: EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow

Open a 600x600 new image.
Open up your tubes & scrap
supplies for the tag.

Choose a frame.
I am using a multi circle
frame.
Resize 80% or as needed.
Copy & paste the frame
onto the new image.

Using your magic wand,
click inside the frame.
If using a frame like I
am, hold shift button down
to select inside multiple frames.

Selections modify expand by 2.
Paste a scrap paper of choice.
Selections invert & press delete.

Move the paper layer under the
frame layer.
Keep the frame selected.
Paste your first tube between
the paper & frame layers.
Press delete.
Select none.

Add a drop shadow to
the frame & tube layers.
2,2,50,5 Black

Merge the three frame layers
together.
Open your 2nd tube & resize
80 or as needed.
Paste along the side of
your frame.

Open a ribbon element.
If needed, rotate right 90.
Paste behind & slightly to
the side of your 2nd tube.

Open a leaf tree branch.
Paste on the bottom layer of
the tag.
Position so that it comes out
the top above the tag.

Open a flower element.
Resize 25.
Paste 2-3 times along the frame.

Oepn a fern like leaf element.
Resize 75%
Paste on the opposite side of
your 2nd tube.

Position the layer in the layer
palette to bottom layer.
Arrange at the end of the frame.
Duplicate once & flip.
You want fern at the top & side
of the frame along with the
bottom & side.

Merge the two fern layers together.
Duplicate two more times.
Move the copy layers along the
back of the tag.

Open a wordart of choice.
For the one I am using I resized
by 50 twice.

I also added a gradient glow to
the wordart.

Add the earlier drop shadow to
the wordart.
