Open your template and duplicate, close the original, Now you work
with this template how you like, some do it different then others, In
my tut I will tell you what I used on each layer, I select all float and
defloat, sometimes you need to smooth the layer a bit due to jaggedy's
I also increased the canvas size to 750x750 and refilled the white layer
to have room to work.

Delete the copyright layer and go to your Effect layer,select and open
SD-Gemini-paper026 working how you feel more comfortable with
templetes add this paper as a new layer hit delete and select none now
delete the original layer. I turned the opacity down to around 50%
Now go to the small rectangles layer and select
Now open SD-Gemini-paper010 resize by 56% and c/p as a new layer,
select none and delete the original layer, Now lets go to the large circle
layer and select, open SD-Gemini-paper001 resize by 56% and c/p as
a new layer, hit delete and select none, now go up to effects and then
go to texture effects and blinds use the setting below

Now you can change your circle frame colors by using the manaul color
correction tool or you can leave it like it is, On example I changed it on the
other I left them. Now go to Now for your 3 circles on the right I used
the same paper in each. I used SD-Gemini-paper026 again this time I
resized it by 56% c/p as a new layer select none and delete the original
layer. Now lets go to the doodle layer, I used the manual correction tool
to change the color of this, using the setting below, you can play with
this to get your desired effect

Now lets add a few elements to our tag, Open SD-Gemini-element006
c/p as a new layer and bring this to the top, resize by 80% and place
towards the right of the big frame, Now lets open SD-Gemini-element028
c/p as a new layer, resize this by 30% and arrange this layer to below
your 3 circles on the right, and near the top, Duplicate, mirror and flip
place this one near the bottom left of the frame. Now lets open
SD-Gemini-element053 and c/p as a new layer, resize by 48% and
place with your paper star, now open SD-Gemin-element072 c/p as a new
layer and resize by 48% and place with your flower and star, when you
are happy with your tag add a gradient glow of choice to your frame
layers and the doodle, and 3 rectangle layers, and then a dropshadow
of choice to all but your Effect layer, now add a tube or tubes of choice
hide the white background layer and merge visible.

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,
it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right
information and Save the way you prefer to save tags,

I hope you enjoyed this tut
