This tutorial was written by me on April 1, 2015.
and any similarities to anyone else's creations are purely coincidental.
I use Photoshop Elements 12, which is NOT the most updated version, so you may have a quicker way to do things. I don't have any fancy plug-ins or flashy extras. My way of making this tag is certainly NOT the only way, nor is it the best. I only offer ONE way to create a tag.
Some knowledge of Photoshop (any version) is assumed and required for understanding this tutorial.
