I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should be able to create this tag in all versions.
Supplies needed:
A tube of choice. I'm using one by Kurama Phoenix (http://www.kuramaphoenix.pt.vu) which is available from CDO (http://www.cdoestore.com).
Please do not use the same tube without the appropriate license.
Font of choice. I've used Miss Blaker.
Plugins:
Muras Meister - Copies
Image Skill - Displacement Map
Simple - Horizontal Grain
AAA Frames – Foto Frame
1. Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels
2. Flood fill your canvas with a dark colour from your tube.
