Do not copy and paste my tutorials or claim as your own you may link to them for group challenges.
What you'll need:
You'll need a tube of choice I am using a gorgeous tube by Ismael Rac. Which you can purchase at his store HERE.
A gorgeous PTU kit by Inzpired Creationz called Wicked Valentine which you can find purchase at Rac's store HERE.
This is an exclusive kit to match the tube.
Fonts of choice - I am using a pixel font for the copyright and Carpenter ICG for the name.
Ready?
Let's get started!
Open a new canvas 650 x 250.
Copy and paste your tube or close up as a new layer and arrange it to your liking, duplicate it and move it where you want continue to do that until the canvas is covered. Then merge all these layers together and duplicate then go to adjust-blur-gauassian blur set to 3 and change the blend mode to overlay.
Open up paper 10 from the kit copy and paste it on top of the duplicated tube layer change the blend mode to screen then duplicate it and change the blend mode of that layer to soft light. Open up paper 9 copy and paste it on top of the duplicated paper layer and change the blend mode to Color L lower the opacity a bit.
Open up scattered hearts 2 from the kit copy and paste them as a new layer near the bottom part of your tag re-size them so they fit nicely.
Open up scattered hearts 1 from the kit copy and paste them as a new layer re-size and arrange to your liking.
Now copy and paste your tube as a new layer arrange and re-size to your liking then duplicate go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3 and change the blend mode to soft light.
Copy and paste the sparkles from the kit re-size and arrange them to your liking, this layer should be over the tube.
Now we're going to do the borders. Go to the very bottom layer of your canvas it should be blank click it then go to selections-modify-contract by 6 then invert add a new layer flood fill with a color of choice then add some noise if you like. Arrange this layer so its at the top of your layers. Repeat these steps but change the number you contract by to 3.
Now in a font and color of choice add your name in a color of choice then go to selections-select all-float-defloat-modify and expand by 2 then add a new layer and flood fill with a color of choice then go to selections-modify and expand by 2 again add a new layer and flood fill with the same color you typed out your name in. Arrange that layer below everything other font layer and add a drop shadow I used H 1 V 1 Opacity 60 Blur 6.00 Color Black.
Now for the avatar all I did was open up a new canvas 150x150 closed off the border layers and copyright layers on my banner then copy merged and pasted it as a new layer on the 150x150 canvas. Arrange it to your liking even re-size it a little if you want. Then again go to the bottom layer then go to selections-modify-contract by 6 then invert add a new layer and flood fill with the same color as you did on the banner. Arrange this layer so its at the top of your layers. Repeat these steps but change the number you contract by to 3.

Deselect then duplicate the tube in the frame and mirror it then merge down and change the blend mode to soft light.
Open up element 22 from the kit copy and paste it over the tubes in the frame but move it below the frame layer itself. Re-size it so it fits nicely and use your eraser tool to remove what hangs over the frame.

Open up your tube mine is not a full tube so I made it that she was at the bottom of the frame then added element 31 near the bottom re-sizing it so it fit nicely. Duplicate your tube layer then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3 then change the blend mode to softlight. Apply a drop shadow of H 1 V 1 Opacity 50 Blur 5.00 Color Black to the bottom tube layer.

Copy and paste your close up tube or tube as a new layer arrange it to your liking under the frame layer then go to selections-invert and hit delete. Open up another paper of choice I used paper 4 copy and paste it as a new layer above the tube you just did and then hit delete then go to selections-select none. Duplicate your tube layer and move it above the paper we just added. Change the blend mode of the original tube layer to Luminance L the paper layer to soft light and the top tube layer to screen then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3.

Move that layer below the original text layer then go to modify and expand by 2 add another new layer and flood fill with the original color of the text. Move that layer below all the text layers. Now I added noise to the middle layer by going to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise uniform and monochrome checked and at 50%. Add the same drop shadow you used above to the bottom layer of the text. Merge your layers of text from top to bottom together then change the blend mode of to hardlight and duplicate it.

Open up frame 4 from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer onto your canvas. Now take your tube or image copy and paste it as a new layer under the frame layer arrange it to your liking, then take your eraser tool and erase what overhangs the frame. Duplicate the tube or image and change the blend mode to soft light then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3. Add a drop shadow to the frame I used
H 0
V 0
Opacity 60
Blur 4.00
Color Black
Take your magic wand and click inside the frame then go to selections-modify-expand by 3 then add a new layer, copy the paper then paste it INTO the selection. Move this layer below the tube/image layers. Change the bottom tube/image layer to Luminance L.
We can decorate a bit!
Open up the butterflies element copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely and place it in the top right corner of the frame add the same drop shadow you used earlier. Then copy and paste the bling element behind the butterflies arrange it to your liking.
Next open up the heart element from the kit copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely mirror it and place it near the bottom left of the frame arrange it to your liking.
Open up another paper from the kit I used paper 10 then add your mask and merge group. Arrange your mask layer to your liking.
I added the words Missing You near the top left of the frame in white then applied the same drop shadow as we used earlier and changed the blend mode to luminance L. Repeat the same steps for your name but add some noise and use H 1 and V 1 for the drop shadow using the same blend mode as the words.
Finally add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpeg whichever you prefer and we're done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow.

Once you're done with that duplicate the tube layer change both tube layers blend mode to soft light.
Open up the leaf circle element copy and paste it as a new layer re-size it so it fits nicely arrange it to your liking. This layer should be ABOVE the frame layer. I also added the red flowers, the basket ,the first set of mushrooms and the bird, I arranged those to the right side bottom of the frame re-sizing them so they fit nicely.

Mask of Choice
Ready?
Let's get started!
Open up a 650x250 transparent canvas copy and paste your IMAGE as a new layer. Move it to the far left or right your choice then duplicate and mirror it. Merge these two layers together then duplicate. Change the blend mode of the duplicated layer to soft light then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3.

Merge these two layers together then duplicate. Change the blend mode of the duplicated layer to soft light then go to adjust-blur-gaussian blur set to 3.
Now open a new canvas it doesn't really matter the size and flood fill with a color of choice one that matches your tag. Then apply your mask and merge group. Copy and paste it as a new layer onto your forum set above the duplicated copy and change the blend mode to screen and lower the opacity a little I put mine to 86.
Now copy and paste your tube as a new layer duplicate it change the blend mode to soft light and again add the gaussian blur the same settings as earlier. Apply a drop shadow I used
H 1
V 1
Opacity 60
Blur 4.00
Color Black
Now we're going to do the borders. Go to the very bottom layer of your canvas it should be blank click it then go to selections-modify-contract by 4 then invert add a new layer flood fill with a color of choice then add some noise if you like. Arrange this layer so its at the top of your layers. Repeat these steps but change the number you contract by to 2.
Add your name in your font and color of choice. Then to go selections-select all-float-defloat-modify and expand by 2 add a new layer and flood fill with a color of choice. Move that layer below the original text layer then go to modify and expand by 2 add another new layer and flood fill with the original color of the text. Move that layer below all the text layers. Now I added noise to the middle layer by going to adjust-add/remove noise-add noise uniform and monochrome checked and at 50%. Add the same drop shadow you used above to the bottom layer of the text.
Add your copyright and license number if applicable save as png or jpg whichever you prefer and we're done unless you do want to make the avatar too then keep reading!
Now for the avatar all I did was open up a new canvas 150x150 closed off the border layers and copyright layers on my banner then copy merged and pasted it as a new layer on the 150x150 canvas. Arrange it to your liking even re-size it a little if you want. Then again go to the bottom layer then go to selections-modify-contract by 4 then invert add a new layer and flood fill with the same color as you did on the banner. Arrange this layer so its at the top of your layers. Repeat these steps but change the number you contract by to 2.
Of course add your name or the first letter of your name it your full name won't fit then be sure to add your copyright info to your avatar as well.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow.
