Now select once more the Custom shape tool and pick an ornamental shape. Place it on your gift tag (color=black)

Set the opacity of this new layer to 30% and the blending mode to Soft light.

Select the text tool and using a calligraphic font add your text.

Now Select the Elliptical Marquee tool and draw a selection like the one shown below. If you cannot achieve that with the first try you can free transform your selection (Ctrl+T).

Go to Select -> Modify -> Border and use a value of five.

Create a new layer and fill the selection with any color. Then apply these layer effects to this new layer.


And our gift tag is ready.
