~Below is what your template should now look like~ 5. Open 1 tube, smudge the tube using your Smudge Tool in your tool box. Be sure to erase any excess that may smudge outside of the size of your template. 6. Open another tube, the same size as the tube you just smudged and place it on the opposite side of the template. Change the mode on this tube to Screen mode (at the top of your layer box you will see where it says Mode, select Screen from the drop down menu.) This will give the tube a sheer look. Remove any excess tube that is outside of your templates layer using either an eraser or cutting tool from your tool box See image below for an example of what your tag should now look like...

7. Now open another tube, same size as the 2 you have already used and place this one directly over the tube you have smudged. Change this tube to Screen mode as well. This will give the tube a kind of glowing effect. Remove any excess tube that is outside of your templates layer using either an eraser or cutting tool from your tool box 8. Now open a larger close-up tube, change the mode on this tube to Hardlight. Remove any excess tube that is outside of your templates layer using either an eraser or cutting tool from your tool box ~Below is an example of what your tag should now look like~

9. Now open the main tube and add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).
