Okay, let's get started.
Remember to save often!!!

Open my template and shift D

Close original

Delete info and word art layers

Start at the bottom and go up

Merge duplicate layers together - circle with circle and so on

There are a few basic steps to follow

1. Select layer

2. Float

3. Add new layer or invert

4. Paste paper or fill with color

5. Hit delete
6. Apply gradient glow and noise at 30 to original layer

Go HERE if you aren't familiar on my way of adding gradient glow using EC 5 Impact

gg/n = gradient glow and noise

Add new layer and use splatter brush around edge of tag in different colors and move to bottom

I used parts of this scrap kit because I had it but any kit or pattern fill will easily work so just use what you have

big circles - paper 4 colorized

dotted circles - color from tube

small circles - paper solid 4 colorized

rectangle lines - delete and replace with word 2 element 

small squares - color from tube and scan lines top two settings change to 2

rounded rectangles - gradient of two colors from tube

Apply FU paper texture papyrus

black small rectangles - paste tube and crop and then paste jail door and delete for both sides

Change blend mode to luminance on tubes

center circle - paper 4 checks colorized

Now add any elements of choice from kit

I used

key 

handcuffs

crime scene tape

Paste tube

Duplicate

Float black circle

Invert

Delete on bottom tube

Crop bottom part of top tube

Merge together

**don't forget step 6 above - gg + noise**
