***************
1- Open a new transparent image of 800 by 650 pixels and select all
2- Open the background JHanna_55Bground, copy it and paste it into the selection
Select none
According to the tubes you are going to use, you may colorize your background but you will get a better result using the hue map effects (Adjust / Hue and Saturation /)
3- Open the tube of the flowers by Christin or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
I moved my tube that way :
Effects /image effects / offset
4- Set the mode of that layer to Dodge and lower its opacity to 40
5- Duplicate and set the mode of this duplicated layer to Hard light ( opacity 40 )
According to your tubes, you may have to play around with the modes and opacity of your two layers of flowers to get a nice luminous effect ( but not too bright !)
6- Open the tube of the candles by Sheli or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
I have resized my tube at 60%
Place that tube in the bottom right hand side corner of your tag
7- Open the tube PHtube_boule155 or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
I have resized that tube at 75%
Place that tube in the top right hand side of your tag, as shown on my version
8- Effects / 3d effects / drop shadow / 4, 4, 50, 20, black
9- Open the tube KTs'_titres11 or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
I have resized the tube titre at 75 %. Adjust / sharpen
Place that tube in the top left hand side of your tag
10- Open the tube 2osi1 by Pacy or a tube of your choice, copy it and paste it as a new layer
Place the tube in the bottom left hand side of your tag
I have lowered the opacity of that layer to 82, it's up to you to do it or not !
11- Same drop shadow as on step 8
12- Add a new raster layer and apply your signature
13- Make sure everything is in its place
Image / add some symmetrical borders of 1 pixel, with a bright colour ( e37836 for me )
14- Layers / Promote background layer ( your background layer will be converted to a raster layer )
15- Image / resize at 90% ( Resize all the layers NOT checked !)
16- Effects / modules externes / Alien skin Eye candy 5 / impact / Perspective shadow / Drop shadow blurry default, as below :
17- Add a new raster layer
Layers / arrange / move down
18-Set your colour palette with two colours matching your tag
I have chosen : Foreground : bright colour dd4f03 
Background : dark colour 571B03 
Set your foreground with a linear gradient as below :
- 
19- Flood fill your transparent layer with that gradient
20- Effects /texture effects / blinds as below :
