Open your kit 

Frame 2 - Copy and Paste. Resize by 77%, and move down below the tube. Colorize your frame so it matches a color from the tube. Click inside the frame and modify/expand by 5 - new layer, fill with color of choice. Apply any desired effects to the color layer.

Copy and paste close up of tube - move it so the eyes are showing through. Selctions Invert, and delete - you should have now cropped your tube. Change Blend mode to Luminance Legacy and drop Opacity to 66. Back to the frame layer - add a gradient glow (fat/white/3) and then again - changing to medium, color of choice.

CityScape - Copy and Paste. Move this down so it sits in front of the frame. Change the color of the cityscape to a color that suits your tube and then apply Eye Candy HSB Noise - adjust width and length settings to approx 100 ... leave the rest of the settings as they are.

Sparkle 2 - copy and paste - position to your liking.

Drink - copy and paste. Resize by 44% and colorize and place as desired.

Flower 2 - copy and paste - resize by 77%, colorize and move to the right, below the frame layers.

Duplicate, flip and then move down so both flowers sit close to each other. Merge layer down.

Duplicate this layer - Mirror and flip. Have some of the petals showing out from behind your tube.

Add any other elements that you like and place around your tag.
