There's really a million different possibilites for this but it's also gonna be easy peasy! You will need..... My Template #25 (see post below) Eyecandy 4000 Gradient Glow filter Xero Fritillery filter MuRa Meister Copies filter Papers from scrap kit of choice A barcode font here A pixel font of choice Tube of choice.

Now, repeat the above steps in the "sillouettes" "stars" & "lg rectangle" layers of the template. I did omit the gradient glow around the stars but depending on your tastes you can add it. Make the "pink lines" layer active Selections>Select All>Float>Layers>New Raster Layer Flood fill with a solid color that matches your papers Selections>Select None Add a drop shadow of your choice....do not apply the gradient glow to the stripes Make the "square" layer active Copy & paste your tube onto the canvas, align so that the part of the tube you want in the frame is inside the frame Make the "square" layer active again Selections>Select all>Selections>float Selections>Invert Make your tube layer active Cut This should cut your tube so the only part of the tube you have left if the part you wanted in the frame Make the square layer active again Selections>Select All>Float Flood fill with a solid color of choice (no need to make this a new layer) Effects>PlugIns>Xero>Fritillery with these settings: Granularity:5 Aggression:30 Tesselation:10 Variation: 23 You can slide the bar up & down on the variation setting to suit your taste Make "square frame" layer active, apply gradient glow with same settings as above. Make the "club queen" layer active Selections>Select All>Float>Layers>New Raster Layer Flood fill w/ solid color (or 2) Apply Fritillery with same settings as above Make "club queen" layer active again & apply the gradient glow with same settings as before Make "glitter" layer active Adjust>Sharpen>Sharpen Now make the "lg rectangle" layer active Type a saying (mine says "club misfit vip member") in a small font (I used Pixellette sz 6) as a vector layer. This will be the type that's on the lg rectangle diagonally. Layers>Convert to Raster Layer Select the paper layer inside the large rectangle Selections>Select All>Float Now select your text layer Apply the MuRa Meister Copies filter with these settings:
You can play with the "tile gap" slider to make the text to your liking Selections>select none Lower the opacity og the text layer to 50 or less Now, with your barcode font, type your name or "Misfit & your name" as a vector layer Adjust the height &/or width Layers>Convert to Raster Layer Apply gradient glow settings to the barcode with above settings using white instead of black Add your copyright info, crop, delete solid white layer at the very bottom & save!
