Lets Get Started

1. Open up a Transparent Canvas 600x600, Flood Fill White, then open up your Tubes of Choice and the Supplies in your PSP.

2. On your Tubes, Holding down the Shift key press D, this will Duplicate the Tube, then Close the Original, do this for All 3 Tubes.

3. Add a New Layer and Move Under your Tube Layer, Flood Fill with Foreground & Stroke #000000, Background & Fill #e9e1d4, in your Foreground Colour go to Gradient and Select the Foreground-Background, Angle 0, Repeat 0, Radiel, Horizontal 50, Vertical 0, Ok, do the Same with all 3 Tubes, and Merge Visible on Each One so you only have One Layer.

4. Onto your Blank Canvas now, Using your Preset Shape Tool, Set the Colours as Foreground & Stroke #8e7952, Background & Fill #e9e1d4, in your Foreground Colour go to Gradient and Select the Foreground-Background, Angle 0, Repeat 0, Radiel, Horizontal 50, Vertical 0, Ok, then set Background as Transparent, Select your Rectangle Preset with Line Style Solid, Width 35, Draw out a Rectangle as Per Example, when happy with Size go to Objects, Align, Centre in Canvas, Convert to Raster Layer.

5. Go to Effects, 3D Effects, Inner Bevel, Use the Settings of Bevel #2, Width 1, Smoothness 42, Depth 2, Ambience 43, Shininess 79, Colour White, Angle 315, Intensity 35, Elevation 21, ok.

6. Using your Selection Tool, set on Rectangle, Draw a Rectangle a Bit Bigger than the Inside of the Rectangle, (we are going to be floodfilling this so make sure that it is Bigger so the White Inside Does Not show), Add a New Raster Layer and Floodfill with the Same Gradient you used to Floodfill Behind the Tubes, Selections None, Move this Layer down Below the Frame.

7. Copy & Paste One of your Tubes as a New Layer, (Remember to work out now your Placement of all 3 Tubes) you may need to Resize your Tube Depending on what you have used, and Position it where you want it to go, It Doesnt matter if it shows Outside of the Frame as we will be getting rid of Excess later.

8. Using your Freehand Selection Tool, Feather & Smoothing 0, Draw around the Tube leaving a Small Gap so you dont cut any of the Tube Off, (it doesnt have to be exact as we will be Blending the Tubes), Go to Selections, Modify, Feather, Number of Pixels 20, Ok, Selections, Invert, On your Keyboard Hit Delete, Keep Hitting Delete depending on what Tube you have used and How you wish the Effect to Look, when you have the Desired amount, go to Selections none.

9. Repeat Steps 7 & 8 for the other 2 Tubes.

10. Move the Frame Layer to the top.

11. Using your Selections Tool again set at Rectangle, Draw out a Rectangle as before, Go to Selections, Invert, On each of the Tube Layers hit Delete on your Keyboard this will then get Rid of any Excess showing Outside the Frame Layer, Select None.

12. Making your Top Frame Layer active, Copy & Paste your Playboy Wording, You may need to Resize this according to your Frame, See Example for Placement.

13. Copy & Paste the Playboy Sign, See Example for Placement, Duplicate, Resize as required place at bottom of Frame, Duplicate this Layer and Place in the Other Bottom Corner.

14. Copy and Paste the Bar Code in the Right Hand Corner, and Move this Layer under the Frame Layer.

15. Using your Preset Shape Tool, Set the Colours as Foreground & Stroke #8e7952, Background & Fill #e9e1d4, in your Background colour go to gradient and select the foreground-background, Angle 0, Repeat 0, Radiel, Horizontal 50, Vertical 0, ok, then set Foreground as transparent, Select your rectangle preset, draw out a rectangle as per example, Rotate the Rectangle so it fits nicely over the Bar Code, but so that it doesn't Show outside the Frame, Convert to Raster, and Move Down Below the Frame Layer.

16. With the Font of your Choice, Type out the Word Exclusive, Move it round so it fits nicely over the Rectangle you have just done and add the same Inner Bevel as Before.

17. On the Frame, Vertical Rectangle, Text & Playboy Symbols Layers, Add a Drop Shadow with the Settings of Vertical & Horizontal 0, Opacity 45, Blur 6, Colour Black.

18. Add The Artists Copyright, Your Watermark, And the Name you Wish on the Tag.
