Highlight the wordart layer and Cut out the 100% and move it to the bottom of the tag beside the large star..... Just use your selection tool to do this!


Now you can use elements of choice or you can use the ones I did. Please use my tag as a reference!

Flag 02 Mirror and move to the upper middle of tag behind the star
Bike (red one) resize to 60% place on top of word art
Banner resize 50% place behind the bike
Doodle 1 & 2 place on last layer behind tag
Helmet 3 resize 25% then again at 50% place to look like it's setting on bike seat.



Now add a drop shadow to all layers



*****Optional for your tube******

I was turned on to this trick by a good friend of my named Kim. You can check her out Click Here See Kim!

On your tube if you want to make it kinda pop out a little more here is something you can do.

Duplicate your tube layer on the copy layer add a gaussian blur of 2.00 and move it below the original layer. On the original layer blend mode to hard light and change the opacity to 73. Merge the layer down and sharpen!

Crop/resize tag to your preference - add copyright/license & watermark & name ..Save as PNG or JPEG
