Tutorial done in PSPX2.

Must having some working knowledge of the program.

***********************

once you have the template and kit ready, open it to your psp.

we're going to work from the bottom layer up to the top.

hide the glittered circle and add a new raster layer above the

large circle layer.

fill the new layer with #ff47c4.

float/defloat/invert the large circle.

hit delete on the fill layer and select none.

hide the large circle layer.

merge down small circle2 with small circle1.

add a new raster layer above the merged layer.

fill it with #000000.

float/defloat/invert the merged layer.

hit delete on the fill layer and select none.

hide the merged layer.

add a new raster layer above rectangle1.

make the foreground: #ff47c4

make the background: #000000

use the following gradient settings to fill the new raster layer.

angle - 0

repeats - 0

invert - checked

linear

using your pick tool, bring the gradient layer close around rectangle1.

use your magic wand tool and click the inside rectangle1.

invert/hit delete on the gradient fill layer. select none. hide rectangle1.

duplicate the fill layer and move it so it sits on top of rectangle2.

hide rectangle2.

go to EFFECTS > TEXTURE EFFECTS > BLINDS to add blinds to both rectangles with these settings:

Width: 10
Opacity: 25
Color: #202020
Horizontal: checked
Light from left/top: checked

now with the same gradient colors, use these settings to fill a new raster layer above frame background.

use your pick tool to bring the gradient closer around the background, like so:

add the same blinds settings from above.

add your tube and use OVERLAY for blend mode.

trim off any excess areas so its only in the frame.

fill a new raster layer with #000000 above the frame layer.

float/defloat/invert the frame, hit delete on the fill layer.

select none and hide the frame layer.

now all you have left is to add another tube if you like and any elements.

don't forget to add tube artist credit and license info.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.

invert selection and crop to selection.

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.

thanks for trying/looking at my tutorial! =)
