Filters

Font of Choice, I used Big Surprise

Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 black

 *Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

Open the template, go to Image, canvas size, 800 x 800 or whatever size you prefer to work on, delete layer 8 and the credits.
Move the wordart however you like them.

Being on the bottom layer fill with a color of choice, I used #fb9d1b, apply your mask, delete and merge group.

Merge layer 2 down with layer 1, select all, float, defloat, new raster layer, fill with #642200, or color of choice, then go to Select, Modify, Select Selection Borders and change the number to 3, add another new raster layer, fill with #d78c34, add noise at 50%. Then go to Effects, Texture Effects, Weave and apply to the first layer color with these settings
1, 10, 1,
Weave and gap boxes checked and color white.

Select layer 3, select all, float, defloat, go to Select, Modify, Select Selection Borders again with the same number 3, add a new raster layer, fill with the same color and add noise at 50% again. Apply the same texture weave as before.

Merge layer 5 down with layer 4, select all, float, defloat, resize the full tube to 60%, paste on the left how you like, invert, delete select none, duplicate, mirror, merge down. Change the blend mode to screen and apply the Xero filter-Soft Mood.

Merge layer 7 down with layer 6, select all, float, defloat, add a new layer, fill with a gradient, with 2 colors from your tube.
Make the foreground one color, the background another color, then click on gradient, angle 45, repeat 4.

Resize your close up to 60%, paste below the wordart and adjust your tube and wordart how you like.
Select the black wordart, add a new layer and fill with a color of choice.

Take the leaves that came with the tube, resize to 60%, paste on the right side just above the circle layer.

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.
