Now being on your mask layer, select all, float, defloat, invert, click on
the tube layer and delete, select none.
Be sure to crop your tag when done.

Resize ice cream cone 3 to 65%, free rotate to the left at 20, paste on the left where the template of the ice cream was, duplicate mirror,

Paste the wordart Indulgence above the tube layer, at the bottom by her legs,  then take your target brush and change the color to  #78305b, then adjust the ice cream bars on each side.
Resize the wordart Sweet to 50%, place at the upper right side and add a
fat gradient in white to both wordarts.

Resize the glitter spill to 80%, paste on the top layer, sharpen once.
Resize the baby imp to 30% place on the right side, below the ice cream cone.

Add any other elements you would like, make it your own.

On the name I added a bevel using EyeCandy 4000, you will just have to play around and get what you like for your name.
Mine was set on Bevel width 1000,  Height 100,  Smoothness 75,

Crop your tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.
 

Once happy with it all, close off any backgrounds, merge visible.
Resize first, then add your copyrights and name.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
