Plug-ins Xero - Radiance

Font of your choice.

Let's begin shall we.

Banner:

Select stage, do not resize at this time. Crop your image until you do not see empty space.

Select flame1, do not resize. Copy and paste to the left side of the stage. It will not fit. Just make sure the top of the flames are showing. Mirror and do the same to the right side of the stage. Add drop shadows.

 Select drumkit3, resize to (400x266). Copy and paste to left hand side of stage. Make it to where it is off the stage, Add drop shadow.

Select guitar4, resize to (300x225). Copy and paste to left side of stag. Add drop shadow.

Select sparkles, no need to resize. Copy and paste to right side of tag. Select again and this time copy and paste to left side of tag.

Select tube, resizing will vary. I wanted my tube large. Copy and paste to center of the tag. Add drop shadow.

Select wordart, no need to resize. Copy and paste where you will like it. Add a drop shadow.

Merge all layers.

Now resize your banner to (650x305).

Go to image and add a border. Choose the size and color you like.
