Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using a tube by Jennifer Janesko
which you can purchase at
CDO
The tube I am using I purchased from CILM
when they were open.

I am using an Inspired by scrap
by Honored Scraps. It is IB Scrap Jennifer
Janesko 12-1 and also available at CDO.

Mask MB &SW33 found here
Blog

Plugin:
Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass

Open a 650x650 new image.

Open a frame of choice from
the scrap you are using.
Copy & paste as a new layer.

Click inside the frame with your
magic wand tool. Selections modify
expand by 5.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer.
Selections invert & press delete.
Move the paper layer underneath
the frame layer in your layer palette.

Paste your tube as a new layer between
the two layers. Duplicate once. Move the tube
copy layer above the frame layer & X out for now.

Back on the original tube, press delete.
Select none. Hide this one
Un'X the copy tube. Lower the opacity
so that you can see some of the frame
through the tube.
Erase parts as needed so it appears to
be coming from "inside" the frame.

Once you are happy, put opacity back to 100
& unhide the original tube layer.
Add a drop shadow to the original tube & frame layers.
2,2,50,5 Black.

Open a table element.
Paste as a new layer.
Move the bottom half of the tag.
Now move this layer to underneath all the
previous layers.
This should give the look of the frame layers
being on or standing or leaning against the table.

Open a piano keys element.
Resize 80%.
Paste as a new layer. Position on the bottom
half of the tag.
Move the layer to above the table layer.
You do want the keys below your frame layers.

Paste a paper as a new layer on the bottom
layer of the tag.
Apply the mask MB & SW 33
Merge group. Duplicate once & mirror.

Merge the two mask layers together.
Apply the mask layer.
Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass
Setting Clear - default settings

Open glowing orbs element.
Resize 80%.
Paste as a new layer behind the
2nd tube layer.
Add the earlier drop shadow as well.

Open a flower element.
Resize 75% & mirror.
Position as wanted on a side of the tag.
Erase part of the stem if needed to give illusion
of the flower being behind items when they
in fact are not.

Merge all layers visible.
Add artist copyright information & name.
Save as png.
