The following layer is optional and unless u place a render in the center of the piece like so it can really ruin the flow (thanks for pointing this out sonic beam)
6. make a new layer
set your FG color to 4d6583
use brushes KD_Ultimate_Ed-02-41 and KD_Ultimate_Ed-02-45
to create some flow to the right side of the tag
set on normal at 100%
