This tutorial was written in psp 8 but can be done in other versions.

You will need:~ Mask HERE.

Japanese Scrap Kit which can be downloaded from HERE

Tube of your choice, i'm using the artwork of Hawaiian Bryan Hey, you will need to visit My PSP Tubes to purchase the tube.

Ok, Let's get started :o)

Open the mask, scraps and your tube in psp and open a new image 450 x 400 pixels, colour white.

Layers>New raster Layer and floodfill with black.

Layers>New Mask Layer>From Image (psp7, Masks>New>From Image) and find 'AE-mask-015.jpg' in the drop down menu and make sure that 'Source Luminance' and 'Invert mask data' are both Checked.

Layers>Merge>Merge Group (you don't need to do this in psp7 ;o)

Copy and Paste your tube as a New Layer and resize it to fit, Bicubic and Resize all layer UNchecked. I resized mine by 50%. Add a drop shadow, I used V: 1, H: 1, Opacity 90, Blur: 8

Move/drag your tube layer underneath your masked layer for now and with your Lasso Tool, point to point, feather 0, anti-alias checked and select the little area where we are going to 'trim' the tube:~

Make sure your tube layer is active and hit delete on your keyboard, this should now trim the area of your tube so that it fits neatly on your mask ;o)

Selections>Select None and move your tube layer back to the top.

Find the 2 'Patterns' in the Scraps, click on the pattern layer of your choice and copy and paste as a new image, minimise. Using your lasso tool again, select the area inside your mask:~

Layers>New Raster Layer, Select Pattern as your Foreground in the styles/colour palette and find the scrap 'pattern' that you minimised:~

Floodfill your new raster layer with the pattern, then move it below your mask layer on your layer palette. Selections>Select None.

*optional, add a new raster layer above your background layer and add a smudgy brush.*

Add some of the scrap pieces as new layers at the top of your layer palette to your liking.

Add the artists copyright info and your watermark etc.

Then finally, add your name, I used Chow Mein HERE Foreground Black and Background #930503, I also the inner bevel settings below and the same drop shadow used for my tube:~

Layers>Merge>Merge Visible and save as jpeg. :o)

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
