Forever Friends

Supplies needed

Tube of choice
Font of chice(I used Angelina)
Mask of choice(I used sunburst which I think is supplied with psp9)
Eyecandy4000 glass.

I used the wonderful art of Suzanna Woolcott. You must purchase a licence to use her art, which can be done here

Lets begin!

1. Open new image 600x600 we can resize later if needed.

2. Flood fill with white to have a better idea of what your doing.

3. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, add dropshadow H2 V2 Opacity 50 Blur 12

4. Make your white layer active again and flood fill with a pattern to match a colour in your tube, a light one works best. Or alternatively you can lower the opacity of this layer ;o)

5. Layers, load mask from disk, apply the mask you have chosen to your pattern, delete mask and click yes to the question asked.

6. Ungroup layers. Depending on your mask used, you may need to resize this layer to take the colour away from the edges ;o)

7. Using your preset shape tool, draw a rectangle line width 8, under you tube, outer a colour from your tube, inner null. convert to raster.

8. Add a drop shadow of H2 V2 Opacity 50 Blur 12
B 9. Using your pen tool and a darker colour from your tube, diamond line style, line width 2, draw a few lines around the outside of your frame.

10. Do these individually so you can move them around if needed.

11. Hide your tube and background, layers merge visible, unhide your tube and background now 12. Using any alphas you like, write out forever friends along the top and bottom of your tag.

13. Add your name to the tag, I added eyecandy-4000 glass with the default settings, and the same drop shadow as before, but you can skip this if you prefer.

14. You can also add any extras around your frame.

15. Add your copyright information and your watermark, resize if needed, and your all done.
