1- Open a new transparent image of 800 by 650 pixels
2- Set your material palette with two colours out of your main tube
My choice : Foreground : light colour faf0ee 
Background : dark colour 403931 
3- Set your foreground with a rectangular gradient as below :
Flood fill your transparent layer with that gradient
4- Layers / duplicate
5- Effects /distortion effects / Pixelate / 42, 42 / check Symmetric
6- Effects / edges effects / Enhance more
7- Set the mode of that layer to Luminance Legacy and lower its opacity to 50
8- Activate the bottom layer in your material palette ( layer raster 1)

11- Go back on your top layer ( Copy raster 1)
Duplicate that layer ( Layers / Duplicate )
12- Layers / new mask layer / from image / choose 1217491254-masques / only check Source Luminance

Merge group
13- Set the mode of that layer to Dodge and lower its opacity to about 50
14- Effects / Image effects / offset as below :
When you have placed all the elements of that tag, you'll be able to see if you need to duplicate the layer with the mask to make it stand out more ( I have duplicated mine once )
15- Open the tube Crescendo or a misted tube of your choice ( people, scenery, flower, object.....)copy it and paste it as a new layer
It is now in the center of your tag and that's perfect !
16- Open the tube Misssilly-MistVases~Janv2008 or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
Place that tube in the bottom left hand side of your tag
I have duplicated that layer to make the vase come out more
Then I have merged those two layers so there's only one layer for that vase !
17- Open the tube papillons ( butterflies) or a decorative tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
Place the tube on the top left hand side of your tagtag
Set the mode of that layer to Luminance legacy or a mode of your choice
18- Open the tube "coin_douceur_fairymist" or a corner tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer ( you may prefer to use a brush or a tub but, in that case, don't forget to add a new layer !)
You may colorize my corner so that it matches the colours of your tag
Place that corner as shown on my tag
19- Open the tube stars " étoiles_douceur_fairymist" or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
