Layers / Merge / Merge Group

Now activate the Frame layer

Paste TP_Cloud_02 as new layer

Now activate your Frame layer again

Paste a tube of your choice as a new layer
I am using one by Jeremiah Ketner
Resize to your liking - I resized by 70%
Position to your liking

To make the tube "blend" more with the colours of the tag, I then did the following:

Duplicate tube layer

Adjust / Hue and Saturation / Colorise
With settings set to ZERO

Then, Adjust / Color / Manual Color Correction with the following settings:

** If you do not have Manual Color Correction in your menu, you need to go to View / Customise / Unused Commands
Then locate Manual Colour Correction in the right window and DRAG it to the menu you want it in
I placed it under Adjust / Color

Now lower the opactity of the colourised layer to around 50%

Apply a drop shadow of choice to your layers

Select a font of your choice and type a phrase or text of choice
I used the closing lines of the "Ode of Remembrance"

Apply a gradient glow if you wish, followed by a slight drop shadow

Add your name and your credits

Merge Visible then Crop to Selection and you're done!

Thank you for trying my tutorial!

Here is a forum style tag I made using the same elements and style from this tutorial. Both animated and non-animated.
