You will need my tubes here or some of your own

Your sea background should be about 500wx 300h pixels-mine is about that.

With selection tool on the setting in the screen shot draw a rectangle on the picture as I have shown in the screenshot-this will feather the outside of the picture

Selection-invert-delete. Select none.

Copy and paste the eyes as new layer onto your background picture and arrange as you wish.

Reduce the opacity of both layers to 70%

Add a new layer and flood fill with a dark colour of your choice-I used #696986

Layer arrange -send to the bottom-effects-texture-blinds-setting as in the screenshot

Click on the eyes quote and file-export t-custom brush-name the brush what you like and click ok.

With black in the foreground box of the material palette look for the brush you have just exported by clicking on your paintbrush and looking in the menu

Add a new layer-make sure it is at the top of the layer palette and click once with the paintbrush on size 315

Arrange the layers as you wish then layers merge all and flatten

Selections -select all. Selections- modify-select selection borders -size 30-inside with anti-alias checked

Effects-3d-dropshadow on default setting. Repeat the drop shadow but change the horizontal and vertical to minus-10

Effects -texture-blinds-same as before but un tick the horizontal

Select none

Image-add border-size 20 in a colour to match the tag

Select this border with your magic wand.

Effects-reflection effects-kaleidoscope with the settings in the screenshot.

Effects -3d effects-inner bevel of your choice-I used the one in the screenshot.

Resize the tag at this stage if you wish and then

Image -add border-size 2 -colour black

Adjust-sharpness-high pass sharpness-default setting.

Add a new layer for any text you may wish to add and that's the tutorial finished.
I hope that you enjoyed doing it
