Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using
a tube by Cecilia Lovera
You can find the tube at
PSPTUBESTOP

Supplies:
Tube Of Choice
Animation Shop
Vixmask147 Blog

Tutorial Tag is animated.
You can view the animation here.

Open a 600x600 new image.
Open up your tube of choice.

Copy & paste your tube
as a new layer onto your new
image.

On your materials palette,
select two colors from your
tag.One for stroke and one for
background.

Select your rectangle preset
shape. Width 3.
Have your darker color as the stroke.

Draw out a small rectangle to
go underneath your tube image.
Once happy with the size, convert
to raster.Move to the center bottom
part of your tag underneath your tube.

Now on the materials pallete,
you just want the darker color
on both options.

Draw out a good sized square
for behind your tube.
Convert to raster.
Position the square behind your tube.

You want to leave a small amount
of space between the square and rectangle
layers.

Now with the square layer, duplicate it once.
On the duplicated layer, fill it with the original
2nd color you used earlier.

Now that the duplicated is a different
color from the original layer,apply the
Vixmask 147 to this layer.
Once applied, merge group.

Select the font tool.
Use an easy to read font.Size set
to 12. I used color black but
it varies on your tag.
Type out the word Gothic
or a word of choice.

Convert the word to raster.
Now the plugin Mura's Meister Copies.
Select tiling effect.
Change the tile gap to 2.
Hit Okay.

Select your small rectangle layer
with the magic wand tool.
On the text layer,
Selections invert & press delete.
Select none.

Resize all layers 88%.
Add copyright info & name.
