tube is PTU © Keith Garvey

filters:
xero / radience/porcelain/mistifier

Lets begin :o)

open a new raster layer 1000x1000
this is large but we will resize later
open a element from the kit
copy and paste onto your work area as a new layer
effects Mura's meister
with setting below

this is now your frame
open your tube (mine didn't have a close up  so i made my own )
if you have a close up then add that and drag below your frame layer
if like me your have to make your tube much bigger
go to image /re-size and change to 120%
this should make your tube much bigger

move your tube layer where you like it
remove any of the tube showing around the frame layer
once you are satisfied with your tube you will see parts of the tube  covered by the frame layer
making sure the tube layer is active go to selections/select all/selections/float/selections/defloat
you will now see marching ants around your tube layer
i erased the  parts from the frame layer only where i wanted the tube to show  as shown below

as you can see i left the marching ants  on so you could see how i deleted the frame where i wanted it
once you have erased the area you want your tube to show through
duplicate your  tube layer , on original tube layer  make it highlighted
effects /xero / porcelain with  the settings below

on your copy layer effects/plug in /xero/mistifier with settings below

staying with copy tube layer
effects/plugins/xero/radience with settings below


on your copy tube lower the opacity with the slide bar to 40%

go to the scrap kit you are using and choose  a few elements that you like
( remember its not set in stone you can add as many as you like)
once you have copy and pasted and placed your elements where you want them
add a drop shadow to  all of the elements as shown below


now add your artist url and  copyright and if you need one for your tube  your licence number
make sure you place it where it wont detract from the tag but is clearly seen
find a nice font  and type your name
add the same  drop shadow  (i did mine twice)
and then layers merge /merge visible
save as a png if you don't want a background or a jpg if you don't mind a background
that's it  your done
hope you enjoyed this tutorial :o)
