Font of Choice, I used Boere Tudor
Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 black
*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*
Open your template, hold the shift key and hit the letter d to duplicate, close the original.
Go to Image, Resize to 90% all layers checked, then go to Canvas size and make it 800 x 800, delete the credits.
I did the resize because of my full tube being smaller, if the tube you use is larger then you may not want to resize smaller first.
Paste paper 5 on the bottom layer, apply your mask, delete, merge group.
Merge layer 2 down with layer one.
Merge layer 4 down with layer 3, select all, float, defloat, paste paper 2, invert, delete, select none, delete the template layer also.
Then apply a fat gradient glow with the first color being red and the second color being black.
Layer 5 apply the Xero filter-Fritillary with these settings twice
5, 30, 70, 50
Apply the same fat gradient glow as before.
Select layer 6, resize paper 3 to 75%, paste, invert, delete, select none. Add the same fat gradient glow as before.
Select layer 7, mirror, then paste your close up tube, invert, delete, select none. Duplicate your tube, go to Adjust, Blur, Gaussian blur, number on 4, change the blend mode to hard light or one you like, merge down.
Layer 8 just add your drop shadow.
Merge layer 10 down with 9, add noise at 50% or what you prefer.
Merge 12 down with 11, add noise at 50%.
Merge layer 14 down with 13, select all, float, defloat, paste your medium size tube and adjust the face how you would like in both squares, delete, select none.
On the wordart add a fat black gradient glow on both.
Paste your full tube on the right side on the top layer.
Paste element 18 above the black squares on the template, resize to 95%.
Resize element 43 to 50%, apply the Mura Meister Copies-Glob at default setting.
Move below the black squares, duplicate, mirror, adjust.
Paste element 3 above the rock layer, duplicate, mirror.
Resize element 12 to 50%, place down on the rocks by the tube's foot.
Resize element 8 to 50%, place on the left, being on the top layer, duplicate, mirror, move below your tube layer.
Resize element 24 to 50%, place at the top part, duplicate, flip, mirror.
Resize element 25 to 35%, paste at the bottom by the tombstone, duplicate, mirror.
Resize element 28 to 75%, paste at the top where you like, duplicate, move down on the rocks
on the left side.
Resize element 45 to 45%, free rotate to the left at 45 degrees, place below the cat and tube layer on the rocks, sharpen a couple of times.
Paste element 27 below the tombstone on the left, duplicate, mirror, move above the tombstone on the right.
Resize element 44 to 40%, free rotate to the right at 15 degrees, paste on the upper right below the tube layer.
Add any other elements you would like, make it your own.
If you want to make a signature tag and Avator do not merge your tag just yet.
Signature Tag
Open a new image 600 x250, close off your tube and cat on your tag, then copy merged to your new image, resize to 85%.
Resize paper 3 to 75%, paste on the bottom.
Go back to your tag, open your tube layer, copy and paste on the right side, being on the top layer now.
Back to your tag, copy the bird, resize to 75%, paste on the left on the headstone.
Once happy, merge visible, add a frame of choice.
I used AAA Foto Frame with these settings
3, 0, 0, 0, 20, -255, -255, 100
Add your copy right and name.
Avator
Size of choice, I did mine 175 x 200
Again go to your main tag, close off the tube, copy and paste, resize to 75%, move how you like,
then go back, open your tube, paste your tube on the right. If happy with it all, merge visible, add the same frame as before and your copyright and name.
Crop your main tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.
Once happy with it all, close off any backgrounds, merge visible.
Resize first, then add your copyrights and name.
That's it
Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
