Execution
choose 2 colors in your main tube and prepare a rectangular gradient
with the dark color (color 1) as foreground and the light color (color 2) as background
with the following settings

open a new transparent raster background  900 X 600 pixels and paint with the gradient
selections/select all
open the tube “chrispastel woman 07212013”, copy and paste into selection
selections/select none

important : to obtain good results,
you must use that precise tube to create the background of your tag
then you can colorize it with your personal colors using hue map.
