Lets Begin :

Start by making a new 1000 X 650 transparent canvas. (I know its a little big, but I like having enough room to work, you will crop it at the end.)

Now open your P12 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas.

Go to Layers - click Load/Save Mask, then from the slide out menu click Load Mask From Disk.

Now choose a mask of your liking. Then click Load.

Now go to your layers pallet - right click on your Mask layer - then click Merge - then from the slide out menu click Merge Group.

Now re-size your mask if needed. I re-sized mine to 65%.

Now still in your layers pallet - right click on your mask layer again (the merged one) then click Duplicate.

Now right click on your Duplicated mask layer & click Merge - then from the slide out menu click Merge Down.

Now your two mask layers should become one layer.

Now using your move tool - move your Mask to the left side of your canvas.

Go back to your layers pallet - right click on your newly merged canvas layer - then click Duplicate .

Now using your move tool - move your Duplicated Mask element to the middle of your canvas. (Make sure the one end of your duplicated mask is still touching your first mask.)

Now go back to your layers pallet - right click on your Duplicated Mask layer - then click Duplicate .

Using your move tool, move your 3rd Mask element to the right side of your canvas. Again making sure that one end of the 3rd Mask is still touching the 2nd Mask.

Now activate your text tool - set your font, size & color

I used :

Font : Dafunk2

Size : 200 Pixels (You may have to adjust the size for your name, depending on the length of your name.)

Color : #ffd035

Now click on your canvas to open your text box.

Type out the name you wish to have on your tag.

Now click Apply.

Position your name so that it is center with your 3 Mask layers.

(Leave your name for now we will come back to it.)

Open your Sea element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 80%.

Then re-size your Sea element again to 80%.

Now using your move tool , position your Sea element to the lower left side of your canvas. Trying to keep it even with the edge of your Mask that is on the left side.

Go to your layers pallet - Right click on your Sea layer - then click Duplicate -

Now go to Image & click Mirror.

Use your move tool to adjust the position of your duplicated Sea element if needed.

Open your Seaweed element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 50%.

Now position your Seaweed element to the left end of your Sea element on the left side.

Go to your layers pallet - right click on your Seaweed layer & click Duplicate.

Go to Image & click Mirror.

Now using your move tool, move your duplicated Seaweed element back to the left side of your canvas & position it next to your original Seaweed element.

Go back to your layers pallet - right click on your Duplicated Seaweed layer - then click Merge - then from the slide out menu click Merge Down.

Now your 2 Seaweed layers are one.

Now go to Adjust - click Sharpness - then from the slide out menu click Sharpen.

Then go to Effects - click 3D Effects - then from the slide out menu click Drop Shadow.

(You are more than welcome to use my settings below or your own, its totally up to you.)

Click Ok.

Now go back to your layers pallet - right click on your Merged Seaweed layer & click Duplicate - then go to Image - click Mirror. Use your move tool to adjust the position of your duplicated Seaweed if needed.

(There is no need to sharpen or add a drop shadow to this element because we already did it before we duplicated it.)

Open your Glitter element - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas then re-size it to 70%.

Using your move tool, position your Glitter element to the left side of your Sea element . (See my tag for reference if needed)

Now go to Adjust - click Sharpness - then click Sharpen.

Now apply a drop shadow. (Use the same settings as before)

Now go to your layers pallet - right click on your Glitter layer - then click Duplicate. Use your move tool to position your duplicated Glitter element to the middle of your canvas. Keeping one end of your duplicated Glitter element touching your first Glitter element.

Go back to your layers pallet - right click on your Duplicated Glitter layer - then click Duplicate. Now use your move tool & position your 3rd Glitter element to the right of your middle Glitter element. Again keeping the left end touching your middle Glitter element. (See my tag for reference)
