Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
In PSP open a new 600 x 600 image with a transparent background.
In the Colour Palette set your Foreground to a colour from your tube. I used a pink from her hair.
Set the Background to a different colour from your tube. I used a purple from her hair.
Set your Foreground to Gradient: foreground-background - Style: Linear - Angle: 45 - Repeats: 3.
On your tool bar select your Change to Target Tool.
From the kit open Kristin-EmoBabe-Flame.png and press Shift D to copy it. Close the original and using your Change to Target tool go over it til it is coloured to match your gradient.
Copy and paste this as a new layer on your canvas and go to Image - Resize - 50% - All Layers: Unchecked - Resample using: Weighted Average.
Then to go Adjust - Sharpeness - Sharpen.
Apply Mura Meisters Copy with the following settings.
Resize with the following settings: Image - Resize - 90% - All Layers: Unchecked - Resample using: Bicubic.
Add the following Drop Shadow
Vertical: 2
Horizontal: 3
Opacity: 30
Blur: 5
Colour: Black
From the kit open Kristin-EmoBabe-Splatter.png and colour using the Change To Target tool as above with the same gradient.
Copy and Paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Go to Layers - Duplicate then Image - Mirror.
In the layer palette right click on the top layer and choose Merge Down.
Add the same Drop Shadow we used earlier.
In the layer palette right click and rename your layers. The bottom layer should be renamed: Background - the middle layer rename: Flames - the top layer rename: Glitter.
Step 2:
Activate your Preset Shapes tool set to Eclipse - Line style: solid - Line width: 15.
Leave your Foreground at the Gradient and set the Background to Null.
Draw out a circle making sure you can still see the flames on the outside. See below for a guide to size.
Convert this layer to a raster layer and go to Adjust - Add/Remove Nosie - Add Noise - Uniform: Checked - Noise: 50% - Monochrome: Checked. Rename Circle.
Select your Magic Wand Tolerance: 0 - Feather: 0 and click inside the circle.
Go to Selections - Modify - Expand - 5.
Add a new Raster layer and name it Circle Fill. In the layer palette move this beneath the Circle layer.
In the colour palette click on your gradient and change the angle to 135. Leave the repeats on 3.
Flood Fill the selection making sure you are on the Circle Fill layer. Do NOT deselect.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer above the Circle Fill layer and move it over to the left side of the circle. Use my tag as a placement guide.
When you are happy with the position go to Selections - Invert and press Delete on the keyboard.
Go to Selections - Select None.
Go to Layers - Duplicate and then Image - Mirror. You should now have a partial tube on both sides of the circle.
On the copy layer, right click and Merge Down.
Add the following Drop Shadows

Making sure you are on the Circle layer, copy and paste your tube as a new layer. Resize if necessary.
Rename this layer Tube and duplicate. Move the duplicate layer down in the layer palette so it is below the Circle layer.
Hide the original tube layer for now.
Making sure you are on the Duplicate Tube layer, select your Eraser tool and erase everything below the bottom of the circle. Make sure you do not erase anything inside the circle.
Activate your Tube layer and duplicate again.
On the duplicate layer go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 3.
In the layer palette change the blend mode to Screen and lower the opacity to 60.
Right click on the top duplicate tube and choose Merge Down.

Lower the opacity of the tube layer so that you can see the Circle layer through it.
