Any resemblance to another

tutorial is purely coincidental.

I am using a two tubes by Rene Kunert.

Supplies: Texture bokeh 2012 Pack by animekol

Program: Paint Shop Pro X2

Open up textures or papers of choice

to use on your tag. Also, open up two tubes

of choice or a tube with a closeup will work too.

Open up a 700x700 new image.

Also open up a 250x250 new image.

Fill the smaller image with white.

Copy and paste the white image onto your 

larger new image. Duplicate this layer three

times for a total of 4 layers.

Arrange the layers so they form a larger square

with slight spacing between each of the smaller squares.

It might help to rename the squares in terms of their placement.

I did names such as top left, bottom right so I can keep straight

which one I am working with.

Choose a texture of choice & select a square with your 

magic wand tool. Do make sure you have that square layer

selected in your layer palette as well also. Paste your 

texture as a new layer. Selections - invert & press delete

on your keyboard. 

Now, copy and paste your tube or closeup as 

a new layer.Position so it is over the texture & square layers. Press delete 

again. Select none. Change the blend mode on the tube layer to

Overlay or one of choice. 

Repeat the above the steps with the other three squares. Use a different 

texture for each square. For the squares on the right side, I mirrored the 

tube I am using on them to have the faces facing right instead of left. 

Copy & paste your second tube of choice as a new layer. Make sure this layer is 

above the square layers. I resized the tube I used 95% but this is optional. 

Choose your text tool & select a font of choice. I used the color black for my 

text. Type out text of choice and adjust to a desired size. Convert to raster. 

For a moment, hide the text, second tube layer & the background layers. 

Select a square layer & right click. Select merge visible. 

Duplicate this layer & select the original square layer.

Go to Adjust - Blur -Motion Blur. Set the Angle to 315 and strength to 75.

Apply a Gauassian blur to the same layer of 5.00. On the square copy layer,

apply a subtle drop shadow.

Unhide the layers we had hidden. Crop your tag to desired size.
