Wordart of choice

Filters-Photo Effex-Scanlines

Open the template in psp and resize up to 120%  all layers  checked.

Resize canvas to 700x700,all layers checked and re-floodfill the white background.

Close off the credits layer.

Click on the white background and add a new layer.

Laters>select all and paste a paper of choice into selection.

*As this is a full sized kit,i always resize my papers to 700x700 pixels*

I used paper 13,selections>invert>edit>cut and deselect.

Now add your mask.

Layers>new mask layer>from image find your mask  and hit ok.

Merge group.

Now click on one of the template layers-selections>select all>float.defloat &

paste a paper of choice as a new layer.

Selections>invert>edit>cut and deselect.

Repeat these steps until all your template layers are filled.

Add drop shadows to the template layers.

I use 2 2 50 5.

On the main rectangle layer,paste a close up of your tube,and change 

the blend mode in the layers palette to luminance.

Apply the filter Photo effex scanlines default settings.

Now paste in your main tube and place on the bottom left of the canvas.

Now resize and place any elements you like from the kit,

remember to sharpen any elements after resizing.

You can use my tag as a guide or go your own way :)

Add some wordart and place at the top of your tag.

I used a gradient for my text.

Now add your name using a pretty font and place at the bottom of your tag.

I also added a few brushes-you can find lots of great brushes on Deviant Art

-remember to read the designers Tou before using.

When you are happy with your tag,delete the 

white background and resize the tag to your liking.

Merge all layers and then add your credits.

That`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
