Background color option for now. On the Foreground,
select black or a dark color from your tube.
Now, draw out a rectangle to a desired size.
Convert this layer to raster.
Copy & Paste your tube onto the image.
I did resize mine 80% due to size.
Move the layer underneath the rectangle
in your Layer Palette.
Let's rename the layers to help keep them straight
as we design. For the Rectangle shape layer - rename Rect.
For the tube layer underneath that layer, rename Tube1.
On the Tube1 layer, apply the plugin Mura's Meister Copies-
Wallpaper with default settings.
Add a new raster layer underneath the Tube1 layer.
Rename it Color. On the Materials palette, switch your colors
& unhide the previously hidden layer. Select a color from your
tube for the layer. Now fill the layer with that color.
Select the Rect layer. Select your Magic Wand tool & click inside
the layer. Selections - Modify - Expand by 2. Selections - Invert.
Now keep it selected & select each layer & press delete on each one.
Once done, select none. This will remove excess of each layer outside of
the Rect.
Duplicate the Tube1 layer. Rename as Tube2. Apply the plugin Oliver's Filters
- Tunnel with default settings. Apply Xero Porcelain with default settings as well.
Hide this layer for now. Select Tube1 layer.
Apply the plugin VM Stylize - Deep Crunch to the layer with default settings.
On the two tube layers, change the blend modes as such:
Tube 2 - Soft Light Tube 1 - Screen. Feel free to change these if they don't look good with your tag/tube.
Select the Rect layer of your tag. Copy & Paste your tube again as a raster layer.
Position as wanted on your tag. I did adjust mine so its more of the left side.
Duplicate once. Move one of the layers underneath the Rect layer.
Select the Rect layer. Select your Magic Wand tool & click inside
the layer. Selections - Modify - Expand by 2. Selections - Invert.
Now keep it selected & select the tube layer you just moved under the Rect layer. Press delete on this layer. Select None.
Using your Eraser tool, erase the bottom of the top tube. Don't worry if you
get a little more than you should. You have the layer beneath the Rect layer which will cover that. Rename these as Top2 (Above Rect layer) & Top1 (Under Rect layer)
Add a drop shadow of choice to each layer except Top2.
Merge layers visible. Resize 93 & 96%. Add a new raster layer under the
merged layers. Fill with same color as the earlier Color layer. Go to Layers -Load Mask - Apply the mask Kristy07_Mask_49. Merge Group.
Choose a font of choice that fits your tag theme. Type out a word
or two. I chose the words Deep Blues. Position along the bottom
right of your tag along the Rect layer. Make sure to add a drop shadow of choice.
Crop your tag to desired size. Be sure to add artist copyright information & a name to your tag. Save as a png. Thanks for trying my tutorial!
I do not allow resizing of my tags, timelines or wallpapers. All of my creations are for PU only unless otherwise stated. Nor are they to be altered in any way either.
