REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN

Step 1:Open a new image 500 x 500 white background.Copy and paste your tube as a new layer on the background, go to Toadies/ Plain Mosiac Blur and use the settings below

Then go to Adjust- Hue and Saturation - Colourize and use the settings shown below.

Apply DSB Flux Bright Noise at 25 as shown below OR use psp noise at 25 uniform.

Or

Step 2:
Go back to the tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Go to Image - Resize 75%. Position her where you want.

Add a drop shadow using the settings shown below.
Vertical: -4
Horizontal: -4
Opacity: 50
Blur: 5
Colour: Black

Activate your black rose tube and copy and paste it as a new layer on your image, position it near her head where you think it looks best and apply the same drop shadow , then go to layers arrange, move down so it is beneath the girl layer.
Click on the girl layer so the top layer is active and then go back to your black rose tube and resize it by 60 %. Copy and paste as a new layer, position it where you think it looks best. Duplicate this layer and go to image mirror.
Position to your liking. Add the same drop shadow we used earlier to both these layers.

Step 3:
The next part lets you get creative. Choose your accent tubes and arrange them on your tag to your liking.

Step 4:
Activate your text tool and set your foreground to black and your background to a red from the Toadies background layer.

I used #9F0504. Use font Saginaw bold, Size 72, Vector and Antialias checked.
Apply your text and then convert to a raster layer.
DO NOT ADD YOUR DROP SHADOW YET.
Position your text where you want it.
On a new raster layer add your watermark and the artists credits.

Step 5:
Click on your name (text layer) to activate it and in the layer palette duplicate this layer twice for a total of 3 name layers.

On your 3rd image go to effects DSB Flux Bright Noise size 25, click your mix button 3 times. (OR apply noise uniform at 30%). Apply the same drop shadow we used on the other layers.
On your 2nd image go to effects DSB Flux Bright Noise size 25, click your mix button 2 times. (OR apply noise uniform at 30%). Apply the same drop shadow we used on the other layers.
