Snaggable versions of this tag in my Fotki album

For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X7, you should be able to use any version.

Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of B.K. Lusk (Summer tube) which you need a license to use.  

Scrap kit of choice. I am using a PTU kit by Amy Marie called Easterland

Font of choice, I am using Speak Easy

Mask of your choice

Plugins: No outside plugins used

Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.

Let's get started!

Open a new canvas 850 x 850 pixels with a white background

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, resize by 55%

Now add the following elements

element 114 arrange behind the tube on the left

element 140 resize 75% mirror & arrange on bottom right, behind the tube
