Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using a tube by Melarune
which is available at
DREAMSCAPE IMAGING

Supplies:
Tube of choice.
VixMask168 Blog

Plugin:
EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow

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

On your new image,
select your ellipse tool
set to ellipse.
Width 12.00

On your materials palette,
X out the Fill option.

tube for the stroke color.

Now on your new image again,
draw out a desired circle.
You want to draw it so the circle
shape lays flat...to resemble a halo.

Move the halo shape down
near the bottom of the tag.
Click inside the halo with your
magic wand tool.

Selections modify expand by 2.
Add a new raster layer.
Fill with a light color from your tube.
Move this layer below the halo layer.

Paste your tube as new top layer.
Resize 90% if needed.
Position so it appears to sit
inside the halo.

Back on the halo, we're going to apply
a gradient glow - to help it "glow".
