Continuing in that 4th of July spirit, I have a hunk from BezFaery.

You can find snags with all of this art and MANY others here.

Don't forget to check out these amazing artists at PTE!

Happy Monday!

Well to all my readers out there, I have been asked to be on the CT for PTE. I obviously said yes and will be showcasing my tags AND tutorials on some of those taggies here.

If you click the taggie, it will take you right to where you can buy the art. ☻

This tutorial was written using PSP9. It is assumed you have working knowledge of the program. :)

Open up the template. Delete the background and copyright info layers.

Activate the circle layer. Open Paper 16. Copy. Paste as a new layer above the circle layer. Go back to the circle layer. Selections>Select all>Float>Defloat>Invert. Go back to the paper layer and hit delete. Deselect and delete the circle layer.

Activate the Circle2 layer. Open Paper 22. Copy. Paste as a new layer above the circle2 layer. Go back to the circle layer. Selections>Select all>Float>Defloat>Invert. Go back to the paper layer and hit delete. Deselect and delete the circle2 layer.

Activate the Rectangle layer. Open Paper 3. Copy. Paste as a new layer above the rectangle layer. Go back to the rectangle layer. Selections>Select all>Float>Defloat>Invert. Go back to the paper layer and hit delete. Deselect and delete the rectangle layer.

Activate the Square 1 layer. Click the lock transparency option in your layer options. If you can't find it, it's the little lock in the same line as your blend modes. Pick a color from your tube. I'm using the pretty green from the paper we just used. Flood fill the square. Unlock the transparency. Repeat this for Square 3.

On both Square 3 and Square 1. Apply Penta>jeans on the default settings.

Now, move frame 1 and frame 3 so that they are on the green squares. Position them how you want. I just moved them so that they weren't hanging over.

Open your tube. Copy and paste it above square 3. If you are using the same tube as I am, I didn't resize it any.

Activate the frame 3 layer. Using your magic tool, select inside the frame. Go to selections>Modify>Expand 2px. Then hit invert. Go back to the tube layer and hit delete.

Using your change to target tool, pick another color from the tube/tag. I am using the pink. Recolor the tube layer and then apply the jeans filter.

Copy paste the tube again, this time above square 1. Activate frame 1 layer. Using magic tool do the same as I did above. Then recolor and apply the jeans filter.

Add drop shadows to those two frame layers. Delete the frame 2 layer. We won't need it lol.

Now copy and paste your tube above square 2. It should still be black. If you are using the same tube, resize by 75%.

Go back to the square 2 layer. Selecttions>Select all>Float>Defloat>Invert. Go back to the tube layer and hit delete. Deselect all.

On the tube layer set the blend mode to Luminance Legacy. Apply the jeans filter to the tube and the square 2 layer.

Add a dropshadow to the layer below the square 2 layer (the glittered layer).

Add dropshadows anyplace else you wish at this point.

Now copy and paste your tube at the top of the template (above the frame 3 layer). Resize and postion where you wish. Use mine as a guide.

Now open the Wordart element. Copy and paste above the square 1 layer. Add drop shadow.

Open the Splatter element. Copy and paste above the raster 3 layer.

Open the bear element. Copy and paste above the frame 3 layer. Resize by 50% and position. Add dropshadow.

Open the charm element. Copy and paste above the bear layer. Resize by 50% and position. Duplicate the layer and resize the duplicate by 75%. Position at the top of the other frame. Use my tag as a guide.

Copy merged opaque. Add your copyright information.

Now using the font Weltron. Type out your name. Convert to raster layer. Apply the jeans filter. Add a gradient glow if you wish and a dropshadow.
