*~ Let's get started ~*

1. We are going to spend a bit of time making a tagback for this tut:
Open new Image 725 x 700 px transparent
Flood fill white
Open Miz_Mask 374 R/S 85% C/P
Move upward & to left Rename ~ Mask
Select all float, defloat, add new RL, 
Open Paper 5, C/Paste into the selection, d/s
Move downward & to right, Rename ~ Mask 03
Select Mask layer again, select all, float, defloat, add new RL
Open paper 2, C/Paste into the selection. d/s
Rename Mask 02
Open WWMask 01a C/P Rename Mask 01
Move to upper left

Note:  Arrange layers in this order starting from bottom:
white bg ~ close for now
Mask
Mask 01
Mask 02
Mask 03
Merge the above layers visible
Image ~ Decrease colour depth ~ 2 Colours ~ grey values, ordered dither ~ OK
Copy then UNDO 
Paste as top most layer
Using magic wand, click on outer white area, delete, d/s
Rename this Dither
Move it above the Mask layer on layer palette
Close Mask 02 layer
Open WWMask 02a PNG C/P move upper left
Select all, float, defloat, add new RL
Open Paper 5, C/Paste into the selection d/s
close original mask beneath it.
Using lighten/darken tool, softly lighten with brush sz 100, 75 hardess & opacity
the very top edge of Mask 04 layer. 

Your tagback should look something like this:

2. Now that I confused you, we can start making the tag. :+)
elem 28 ~ 65%
elem 33 ~ 65% D/S -15, 10, 50, 10 Black
elem 5 ~ 50%
elem 24 ~ 50% duplicate 3 or 4 times, arrange as brick wall, merge them together
then colourize using Filters Unlimited 2 ~ PhotoAging ~ 103,131,145

elem 3 ~ 40%, dup & mirror
elem 16 ~ 65%
elem 10 ~ 25% D/S  -10, 10, 55, 5 black
elem 27 ~ 50%
elem 22 ~ 18%

Select all, float, defloat, add new RL, open paper 21, C/Paste into the selection, d/s
Change blend mode to Overlay
Add tube of choice R/S, see reference tag
elem 26 ~ 50%

Wordart 50 % Add a 3 px border on new layer in colour # f9efe7, merge together WA & border
