For this tutorial you will need: Paint Shop Pro Plugins Flaming Pear -> Flood Xenofex 2 -> Constellation (optional) Supplies created by Kia Tube and Font of your choice This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of your psp program and working with layers.

Flood fill your canvas with black. Rename this layer 'background'. Open up your tube. Pick a bright color from your tube as your foreground. I used: #0D35B9 Set your background color to #808080 Minimise your tube. Add a new raster layer. With your paint brush tool, select the kia-swirl00 brush with the settings shown. With Raster 1 active "stamp" your brush onto the canvas, just above center, with your foreground color. Add a new raster layer. With Raster 2 active "stamp" your brush onto the canvas, just below center, with your background color. Change the Blend Mode to Luminance (Legacy). Layers -> Merge -> Merge down. Rename this layer 'swirls'. Your canvas should now look somewhat like this Make sure 'swirls' is the active layer. Effects -> Image Effects -> Seamless Tiling -> settings as shown Add a new raster layer. Rename this layer 'outer frame'. Selections -> Load/Save Selection -> Load From Disk -> kia-swirlborder01. Flood fill with your bright color. Effects -> 3D Effects -> Inner Bevel -> use the kia-swirlborders preset. Selections -> Select None (Ctrl:D). Add a new raster layer. Rename this layer 'flood'. Selections -> Load/Save Selection -> Load From Disk -> kia-swirlfill. Flood fill selection with your bright color. Effects -> Plugins -> Flaming Pear -> Flood -> use the Blue Lagoon preset. Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Screen. Selections -> Select None (Ctrl:D). Add a new raster layer. Rename this layer 'inner border'. Selections -> Load/Save Selection -> Load From Disk -> kia-swirlborder02. Flood fill with your bright color. Effects -> 3D Effects -> Inner Bevel -> use the kia-swirlborders preset. Selections -> Select None (Ctrl:D). Effects -> 3D Effects -> Drop Shadow -> v=0; H=0; O=75; B=5; color=#000000 Copy and Paste your tube as a new layer. Rename this layer 'tube'. Resize your tube if required (Shift:S) -> Resample using 'Smart Size' -> Ensure 'Resize all layers' is UNchecked. Position your tube as desired -> use my examples as a guide. Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Luminance (Legacy). Add a scrap kit ribbon down the right hand side of your tag. Now is a good time to apply the copyright information, your license number, watermark, etc. The copy right symbol is created by holding alt and pressing 0169 on the number pad. I use pixelette set at size 6, stroke and anti alias off. For the name I used Velvet Script; size 72; Foreground = off; Background = #0D35B9 Then duplicated the layer. On the original name layer I used Effects -> Plugins -> Xenofex 2 -> Constellation -> It's Full of Stars. I'd love to see your creations, you make from this tut, so send them to me HERE, remove the [nospam] and I will display them in my gallery. Remember to be copyright safe.
