Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using the tube 122-1
Plugins:
Mura's Meister Copies
Xero Porcelain
Open a 700x700 new image.
Select your Ellipse Preset shape tool.
Set your width to 8.00.
Have the oval shape selected.
On your Materials Palette, have the
Foreground color set to black or a dark color.
Hide the Background color for now.
Draw out a vertical oval to desired size.
Go to Objects - Align - Center in canvas.
Convert this layer to a raster layer.
Copy a close up of your tube of choice.
Paste as a new layer under your Oval shape.
I resized mine 87% but this may depend on your tube.
Duplicate the tube close up once.
On the bottom close up layer, apply the plugin
Mura's Meister - Copies - Wallpaper rotate default settings.
Duplicate your bottom layer once. Fill with a dark color
of your tube. I did a dark grey.
Select your oval shape layer in the layer palette.
Select your magic wand tool. Click inside the shape
to select it with the wand. Go to selections &
click invert.
In the 3 layers underneath the shape, select each layer
one at a time & press delete on your keyboard. Once you have
erased everything outside of the shape, select none.
On the wallpaper layer, change the blend mode to Luminance Legacy.
Apply the plugin Xero Porcelain with default settings.
Add drop shadows of choice to the shape & top close up layers.
Okay hide the bottom empty layer.
Merge the tag layers together.
Duplicate once.

Everything else set to default numbers.
Greyscale this layer by going to Adjust
Hue & Saturation.
Change both of them to 0.
Select your font tool. Choose a simple easy to read font.
Select a light color or use white for your Background palette on your
Materials tab. For my font, I used the color white & font size 16.
Type out the word Sexy or a word of choice that fits your tag.
Make sure it is positioned between the two tag layers.
Convert the word to a raster layer.
Apply Mura's Meister Copies - Tiling Plugin. Adjust the Tile Gap
to 2 to make sure you have spacing between each word.
Now, select the bottom tag layer - the greyscale one.
Selections - select all - float -defloat - invert.
Select the word layer. Press delete on your keyboard.
Select none. Change the word layer blend mode to Overlay.
Add a new raster layer above the empty bottom layer.
Fill with black or another dark color.
Apply the mask LLM 906.
Right click on one of the mask layers & Merge group.
Resize the mask layer 97%.
Merge layers & crop your tag to desired size.
