Open NP Doodle Big
C&P
Place on the canvas
Open NP Butterfly1

Open your Close Up
C&P
Paste as a new layer
over the Clock
Xero - Greytinter on the default settings
then
Drop the Opacity
so you can see the clockface underneath
and
take Magic Wand with a Feather of 2
Click outside the Clock face on the clock layer
then
back to the Close Up layer
and hit Delete twice
Selections None
Now Drop the Opacity a bit more on your Close Up layer
I went down to 34
Paste your tube as a new layer now
and move over to the right of the tag
Either resize if needed or
Erase some of the tube if needed
I wanted to keep my tube large
but still wanted the background to show so
just see what it looks like for you
Once you've placed your tube
Xero Greytinter as before
and
Shadow of your choice
Note: If you, like me, keep the tube
largish, but erase the bottom
Use NP Ruffle, Resize 60%
and paste this as a new layer
over the tube layer
so it hides the erased bottom :)

OK to apply

Bottle

On the Clock layer

Now
Using Black Fill and No stroke
Take a favourite font

Not too blurry :)
OK
Now your name

Crop the tag now to elimate some of the no longer needed space
