Fan - Re size 50 %. Position top left of tag between large rectangle and thin rectangle.

Light Ray - Re size 75%. Flip and position behind Microphone.

Wire  - Re size 50 %. Use manual color correction to Darken colour. Paste top of tag above rectangle layer. Duplicate and flip copy to bottom.

Private word art - Float - modify - expand by 2. Add new layer. Flood fill with gold colour. Select none. Move below original layer. Merge down. Duplicate  and re size copy to 80 %, opacity at 70. Duplicate this copy and re size again 80%. Opacity 50%.

Dancer word art - Float - C/paste paper 7. De float, invert and delete. Select none, delete original layer. Apply Mo Jellyfish with settings used earlier. Float - modify - expand by 2. Add new layer. flood fill the selection with black. Select none. Move below gold layer and merge both layers. Shadow. I duplicate and moved copy to left of canvas behind elements and reduced opacity.

Mask layer. C/paste a paper from kit. I used paper 10 re sized at 95%. Load mask from disk - fit to layer. in layer palette - delete mask and merge group. Use raster deform tool to stretch and position then duplicate layer to strengthen opacity to your liking.

Merge visible. Crop/re size and sharpen to your liking. Add name and relevant copyright and licence info Save as Png.
