Open a new transparent canvas 550x280.

Fill Raster 1 with the LM Smilie gradient Angle 0 Scale 100.

Go to Effects - Texture - Blinds and use these settings with ##4f568b

Choose the picture you would like in the center and copy and then paste as a new layer onto our canvas.  It will be in the center so there is no need to move it. 

Copy your next picture and paste as a new layer.  Resize by 85% bicubic  resize all layers unchecked.

Move this to the left side of the canvas centering it.

Repeat the same step for the last picture....copy and paste, resize and move to the right.

Make sure you have all your pictures exactly where you like them as we will be merging them next.

Turn the visibility off on Raster 1 and right click on Raster 2 and choose Merge Visible.

Turn Raster 1 back on.

using these settings with #1b1d2d

Apply the cutout effect again this time changing the V & H to minus 7.

Selections -  Invert

Click on Raster 1 and add a new Raster Layer rename it Brush.

Click on your brush tool and find the lynd04-0016 001 flower brush.

Change your foreground color to #373d5f

the default settings for the brush are fine.  Stamp the brush on your canvas to your liking...remembering you will need to undo and stamp again if you don't like one as they are all on the same layer and you won't be able to move them one by one after they are on....

With your selection still going click on the Raster 1 layer and apply this drop shadow with #000000

Set your background color in your material palette to white

Add some text to the tag.  For this big text I used Rockwell Bold size 36, then stretched it out and lowered the opacity to 39.  For the top text I used Rage Italic size 36.  Both have the same drop shadow.

Right click on one of the Layers and Merge all Flatten.  Save as a jpg.

You can now colorize your tag to any color you like by clicking on the Background layer and going to Adjust - Hue and Saturation - Colorize

play around with the sliders until you get a color you like!!!
