This tutorial is written using Psp8 but can be
done in other versions.
This tutorial is my design and any similarity
to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
The tutorial is meant as a guide only.
Supplies Needed
Tube of your choice. I used the awesome art of
Elias Chatzoudis, to use his art you need a license which you can
purchase at
My Psp Tubes
Template 223 by Missy which you can download
Here
Font of your choice
Mask 84 by Chelle which you can download

Let's get Started
Open up the template (223)
Image
Canvas size
Change the size to 650x600
Make the background layer the active layer and flood fill white
Delete the by missy layer
Make the think rectangle 1 the active layer
Click on the manual colour correction tool at the top of paint shop
shown below
Change the source colour to the original colour of the rectangle and
change the target colour to the colour you want it to be when you
finish
Click ok
Make thin rectangle 2 the active layer
Edit>repeat colour correction
Now on the words repeat the above steps to change the colour of them
And again on the hearts
NOTE-If you want to use a gradient instead of a colour or a paper of
your choice then follow the normal method of select
all>float>defloat
Make the rectangle layer the active layer
Select all
Float
Defloat
New raster layer
In the foreground colour put a dark colour from your tube and in the
background a lighter colour from your tube
Click on the gradient tab with the following settings
Angle 45
Repeats 5
Flood fill the new layer with your gradient
DO NOT DE-SELECT
Paste your tube as new layer
Place it so the parts you want showing is inside the marching ants
When you are happy with the placement

On the gradient tube layer
Image>mirror
Reduce the opacity to about 50% and move this below the normal tube
layer
On the normal tube layer change the blend mode to screen
On the 3 rectangle layers add a drop shadow of your choice
Make the top layer the active layer
Paste your tube as new layer and move it to the right of the tag
Add a drop shadow
For my drop shadow I used
V=-6
H=-10
Opacity=50
Blur=5
But depending on your tube and how it is standing/sitting you might
want to change this
Image>rotate>clockwise90
At what is now the top of the tag add your name
I used century gothic font but this is optional
Place the text so it is right on the edge of the rectangle
When happy with it
Select all

Move it so it is directly under the original text
Add the following drop shadow
