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

You will need:

Tube of your choice, i'm using a tube by Keith Garvey and the example below uses the work of Elias Chatzoudis, both available from My PSP Tubes.

Scrap kit 'Teenage Dirtbag' (PTU) by Grunge and Glitter Scraps available HERE.

My Mask 09 HERE (right click and save to your pc)

Filters:

dsb Flux, Bright Noise HERE.

Xero, Radiance HERE (scroll down, set 4)

Graphics Plus, Cross Shadow HERE.

Ok, let's get started!

Open the Mask_09 and minimise for now.

Open a new blank image 500 x 500 and flood fill with white.

Open frame 2 from the scrap kit and copy and paste in onto your new image. Image> Resize, Resize All Layers Unchecked, Bicubic, by 80% 3 times. Apply a drop shadow of: V: 2, H: 2, Opacity: 55, Blur: 5.

Open paper 2 from the kit and copy and paste it onto your image, resize it and on the layer palette drag this paper layer below the frame layer.

Open your tube and copy and paste it on top of the paper layer, Image> Flip and position it to the right. Apply Effects> Plugins> Xero, Radiance with these settings below: (some tubes don't look right with this applied too much, if this is the case adjust the settings to suit the tube)



Lower the opacity of this tube layer to around 50 or so and apply a drop shadow of: V: 2, H: 2, Opacity: 88, Blur: 8.

Open paper 6 from the kit and copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas, make sure this new paper layer is above the tube layer. Resize it down and lower the opacity of this layer to around 20 or so.

With the Freehand Selection Tool (Lasso Tool) select around the frame:



Selections> Invert. On the layer palette click on the top paper layer (raster 5) to make it the active layer and hit delete on your keyboard. Next click on the tube layer (raster 4) on the layer palette and hit delete on the keyboard and do the same for the bottom paper layer (raster 3). Selections> Select None.

On the layer palette close the visibility off of the bottom white background layer and the top frame layer and Layers> Merge> Merge Visible. Unhide the closed of layers and apply Effects> Plugins> graphics plus, Cross Shadow, with these settings:



Open the red heart (foilshape4) from the kit and copy and paste it as a new layer onto your tag, resize by 60% and apply a drop shadow of: V: 2, H: 2, Opacity: 55, Blur: 5. On the layer palette, drag this heart layer to the bottom, above the white background layer.

Open the bling doodle 1 from the kit and copy and paste it as a new layer onto your tag, resize it by 55% and position it over to the right, Layers> Duplicate, Image> Flip, Image> Mirror and position the duplicated bling over to the left.

Layers> Merge> Merge Group, I resized mine by 90%.

Copy and paste your tube again as a new layer and make sure this layer is on the top of the layer palette, position it towards the left and apply the same drop shadow as before.

On the layer palette, close the visibility off of the bottom four layers (bling, heart, mask and white background) and Layers>Merge> Merge Visible. Unhide the closed off layers.

Add the artists copyright info and your license number, tagger name etc. as a new layer, and add the text for you name. I used Rob Font 'Inspiration' I can't supply it because it's a pay to use font but any script type font will do.

On the layer palette click on the 'bling' layer to make it the active layer and Layers> Duplicate 2 times giving you a total of 3 layers.

On the very top 'bling' copy layer apply Effects> Plugins> dsb Flux, Bright Noise, Intensity: 60 and select 'Darker'. Apply it again to the next 'bling' copy layer but hit the Darker button twice. Apply again the last 'bling' layer and hit the Darker button twice.

On the layer palette close the visibility off of the 2 bottom 'bling' layers. Edit> Copy Merged.
