Tube of Choice. I used the artwork of Eos Sparks which you can find
HERE


1.     Open up your 307 tag template >> Shift + D >> close original   

    template >> Add a new raster layer and flood fill white >>move    

to bottom.

2.     Select your bottom circle layer >> selections >> seclect all >>

       float >> defloat.

3.    Fill this layer with color of choice. I used a gradient using    

    the colors found in the back wall graffitti image of the tube.
    Adjust >> Add Remove Noise >> Uniform >> Monochrome Checked >>    

    75%.

4.    Make your circle 2 layer active >> selctions >> select all >>    

    float >> defloat >> add noise with same settings as before >>    

    add drop shadow 0,0,100,29,black >> repeat drop shadow again.

5.    Make your circle 3 layer active >> selections >> select all>>    

    float >>defloat>> add noise with the same settings as before.

6.    Make your glittered circle active >> selections >> select all    

    >> float >> defloat >> add a drop shadow with the same setting    

    but with a blur of 18 >> repeat.

7.    Make your glittered rectangle active and add 2 dropshadows with

    the same settings as all the others.

8.    Make your black rectangle active and ad a drop shadow. You can    

    adjust this how you would like. While you have this selected    

    ...Effects >> 3D Effect >> Chisel >> Size 6 >> Solid >> Pick a    

    color that compliments your tube.

9.    Copy and paste your tube in a place that looks nice. If you are

    using the same image I am place it like I have mine. This was    

    the best place I found.

    Open your embellishments :     SD Doodle
                    SD Tye Dye Lava Lamp
                    SD Tye Dye Peace Sign
                    SD Love Word Art

    Copy and paste each embellishment onto your tag as shown in    

mine. I don't care to much for using the resize tool I just     scale

mine until I like the way it looks. I added drop shadows     to each

image.               
   
10.    Now lets start getting it tidy. Delete the ©layer for the    

    template >> Hide your brush layer and add your tubes © and     

    any other text you would like >> Merge layers visible.

11.    Make your brush layer visible >> copy and paste >> open in    

        animation shop >> Insert image effect >>
   
    Settings should be : Effect = Rotate Colors
                                 Animation Frame selected
                                 Effect Lenght = 0.5 sec.
                                 Frames Per Sec = 6 fps

12.    Back over to Psp >> hide brush tube again >> copy merged >>    

    paste into Animation Shop. In your animated rotating color    

    image you should have 4 frames, make sure this is correct.

    Over on your tag image >> Edit >> duplicate selected >>    

    duplicate selected again >> now press your arrow key again so    

    that only one frame is selected and duplicate selected again.    

    You should have 4 frames. Move your arrow key so that your    

    first frame is selected >> Edit >> select all >> up on your bar

    next to what looks to be a film strip with a red x click the icon to the left that is

    your Propagate Paste icon.
 

    Back on your animated frames move to the first frame and select all >> copy.

    Move back to your tag >> with all frames selected paste into    

    selected frames and position onto the black rectangle as shown    

    in mine. Save and you are all done.

My First Tut!

Ok so here is my try at this tut writing business. It is cut short at the bottom due to real life issues that seems to be tearing my heart out. Yea I am belly-achin about it ....soooo?

Supplies

Kit : Warm Autumn HERE

Tube: Deacon Black's Beeotch found  HERE

Font: I used Giddyup STD

1.  Open new image 600 by 600 transparent background.

2.  Open up frame 4 from your elements folder and press Shift D and resize THE COPY with the following setting

    Width:
    Heigth:
    Pixels selected. Make sure Resample using Bicubic is selected along with
    Lock aspect ration and resize all layers.
   
    Close the original image.

3.  Copy and Paste onto your blank canvas as a new layer. I like to name my layers so I can keep track
    so rename this layer Frame if you would like.

4.  With your Frame selected go to Image >> Free Rotate >> 10.00 and to the right.

5.  Open up your papers folder and select paper 2 and copy and paste into the tag >> rename paper >> move below frame

6.  Now the easiest way I could do this was go to your frame layer and make sure it is selected. Go to selections >>
    select all >> float >> defloat >> invert. Take you eraser tool and make your active layer the paper layer >>
    Erase all around the OUTSIDE of the frame.

7.  Selection >> select none

8.  Make the frame your active layer and add a drop shadow with the following settings

    Vertical: 0
    Horizontal: 0
    Opacity: 100
    Blur: 12.00
    Color: Black
    I did this on the same layer as the frame.

9.  Open up your Beeeothc tube >> Copy and paste as a new layer in your tag and free rotate 10.00

10. Position in the center of the frame >> duplicate >> drag your bottom bee below the frame and hide. Now on your top bee
    erase her legs so it looks like her bottom half is behind the ribbon and frame. Now I erased only a small bit around her
    hand so it looked as if it were still over the ribbon. This is all up to you though.

11. Make the bottom bee visible and add a drop shadow. Merge the 2 bee tubes and the shadow if it was put on a seperate layer.

12. It is really up to you on what embellisments you would like to use but I have used the following :

    String 1 and 2
    Buttons 1, 2, and 3
    Bird 1 and 2
        Birdhouse

    There were no special effects done to any of these I just simply resized to the way I liked and added a drop shadow.


Now as of now this is the best my tuts get until I learn how to make them better and my nerves calm down.
