Open Missy's Template and duplicate it (shift+D)
Close the original
Delete the top layer of the template. Activate the background layer, then go to
Image - Canvas size - 700x700 pixels
You may need to flood fill the layer.

Open a paper from the scrap kit resize by 20%
Back to Missy's template, activate the Bracket shape layer and go to
Selections - Select all - Selections - Float - Selections - Defloat

Copy and paste the paper you choose as a new layer, then go to

Delete the original bracket shape layer.

Using different papers or colours repeat these steps for the Rectangle layers and circle layer.
Add a dropshadow of your choice to these layers.

Open the pucked ribbon from the supplies, colorize if needed. place near the bottom of the bracket shape - make sure the ribbon is UNDER the rectangle layers.
Duplicate the ribbon layer and move one ribbon near the top of the bracket shape.
See my tag for reference.

Activate a Ribbon Layer
Using the Burn Brush

With these settings
Size 5 - Hardness 58 - Step 100 - Density 100 - Thickness 100 - Rotation 0 - Opcacity 30
Start clicking the end of the ribbon, you will notice the end will start to look darker, this will give the ribbon a "wrapped" look.

Repeat this step for the other 2 frames using different tubes.

Make sure the tube layers are above your paper layer.
Add a drop shadow of your choice to your tubes and frame, i used

Open knotted ribbon3 from Missy's kit, resize by 85% and copy and paste onto your canvas, and position at the top of the frame, see my tag for reference. add the same drop shadow we used earlier, then go to LAYERS - DUPLICATE then IMAGE - FLIP.

Open the crisscross1 ribbon thingy lol from the kit and resize by 20% and then copy and paste it over to your canvas and position, where the first and second frame meet, and then paste it again where the 2nd and 3rd frame meet, see my tag for reference. add the same dropshadow we used earlier.

Open the Girls rock too word art from the kit, resize by 90% and paste it over onto your canvas, and positon at the bottom of the frames, again add a drop shadow.

Once you are happy with the tag so far, hide any white layers u have and merge visable.

You may have to resize the mask layer to fit nicely, i then duplicated it,then flipped it and moved it over to the other side of the original mask layer.

Pick a font you like and a color to match the tag, i used black. Type out the name of the artist, i used Elias Chatzoudis tubes, so i typed out Elias,then moved it over the Girls Rock Too word art and rotated it a little bit - see my tag for reference. Add a drop shadow.

Again hide out any white layers, if you have any. and go to LAYERS - MERGE VISABLE. Crop off any excess canvas, add your copyrights and your name and then save.
