For this tutorial you will need the supplies zip HERE which includes a tube (artwork by Aqua sixio http://sixio.free.fr),
Some brushes and a bling animation.

Ok, let's get started!

Open new image 450x300,
Select black for your background colour and select a colour from your tube for the foreground, I used #FFF621,
set your foreground to gradient, angle: 45 Repeats: 0 Linear and check the invert box:


 

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, if you're using mine the resize to 65%, positiion over to the right and add a drop shadow:


 

Add a new raster layer and drag it below your tube layer,
have fun with adding your favourite brushes adding new layers if you need them to move the brushes around without disturbing the already placed brushes ;o) I lowered the opacity of some of my brush layers to tone them down a bit.

Layers>Merge Visible,
Image>Picture Frame and add a picture frame of your choice, I used Edge Brush 06 with frame outside of the image and flip frame checked (I couldn't resist adding my favourite frame too lol! I also added Corners Tape with the same settings.

Add the artists copyright info, if your using my tube then it's ©Aqua Sixio http://sixio.free.fr and add your watermark etc.

Add the text for your name, I used font: Tribal, can get it HERE, the background set to my gradient but I changed the angle to 0 and unchecked invert, set black as the foreground, size 36 with the kerning set at -69 (psp8) and I squashed and stretched my text until I was happy with the shape, then coverted to raster layer. I added an inner bevel with these settings:


 


Layers>merge visible again and save as jpeg.

If you want to add the bling then copy and paste your tag into animation shop and find the folder where the bling is and open it, you will see that it has 21 frames, duplicate your tag so that it has 21 frames and then go back to your animation and Edit>Select All, make sure the slider at the bottom is all the way to the left and set to frame 1, and then Edit>Copy, back to your tag also make sure the slider is set to frame 1 and Edit>Select All and then Edit> Paste into selected frame and place the bling where you want it, check that the animation plays ok and then save as gif :o)

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
