Let's get started

*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

I took an old tut I did and revamped it.

Open a new image, 600 x 250 and fill with color of choice, I used #7eac7d.
 
Paste your tube and apply Mura Meister-Copies-Wallpaper rotate at default settings.

Apply Andrews Filter #44-Fabric Wrap at default settings.

Then go to Adjust, Blur, Radial Blur with these settings
Twirl, 50, 10 0, 0, 10, Elliptical checked.
Then apply Andrew Filter #44 again, change the blend mode to overlay.
Now apply Unplugged Tools-Interlace with these settings, twice.
5, 20, 1, 0

Take your selection tool and draw out a small rectangle about half way across, add a new raster layer and fill with #56944c, Effects, Edge effects, enhance, select none.

Type out your wording of choice, I typed out Irish Girls Rock, using Oh la la for the wording, set on 10 Pixels and the Bold button pushed in, merge down, duplicate and move one to the left side top and the other to the right side bottom.

Paste your full tube and move below the rectangle layer, duplicate and move to the other side, merge these together, change the blend mode to overlay or one you prefer, apply Mura Meister Copies-*Line, with the 1/n Fade out checked.
Apply xero filter-Radiance.

Paste your medium size tube in the center and adjust to your liking.
Duplicate, gaussian blur at 4, change the blend mode to overlay, merge down, then merge visible and add AAA Frames-Foto frame with these settings

0, 0, 0, 50
Add your copyright and name.

For the Avator
Open a new image 150 x 150 or a size of your choice.
Paste your tag and resize to 70% and place how you like it.
Apply the AAA Frames-Foto frames with same settings as before.
Be sure all copyrights have been added to your tag.

Signature Tag

Open a new image 600 x 250 or a size you prefer, paste paper 10.

Paste the city and move to the bottom.

 

Resize your tube to 40%, paste in the center.

Paste the glitter spray below your tube layer on the bottom.

 

Resize the coins to 35%, paste on one side, duplicate, mirror.

 

Paste flower 2 on the right side, duplicate, mirror, adjust, change blend mode to screen, and apply the Xero Filter-Radiance, duplicate, apply Screen Works-Light Gauze, then merge down.

 

Paste the fireworks on the flower layer, move to one side and down a bit, sharpen, add noise at 50%, duplicate, mirror.

Resize wordart 2 to 50%, place on top of your tube layer at the bottom, apply a medium white gradient glow.

 

Add any other elements you would like, make it your own.

 

Do not merge yet, you will copy merged with the wordart closed and paste into your Avator first, once you have done that, then merge and add your frame.

 

I use AAA Frames-Foto Frames with these settings

2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 50

 

Sharpen and then add your copyright and name.

 

Avator

Open a new image to a size you prefer, I did mine

Close off the wordart in your signature tag, paste, resize to 82%, move to the right a bit, merge visible and add your frame.

I use AAA Frames-Foto Frames with these settings

2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 50

 

Once happy with both,  sharpen, add your copyright and names.

 That's it

I did an 180 x 180, paste the background of the tag first, then the wordart and resized it, pasted the falling snow below the wordart, merged visible, new raster layer, fill with same color, contract by 3, delete, add noise to the frame and then merge visible again.

Open a new image 600 x 250, paste your close up tube, then go to Mura Meister Copies-Encircle, default settings, do not change any of the numbers.
Then go to Adjust, Blur, Motion Blur, angle 45, strength 100, apply again changing the angle to 315, duplicate this layer.
Crop your tag, being on the top layer, select all, add a new raster layer, fill with a color of choice, I used #e11b28, then contract by 1, delete, contract to 20,  Modify, Select selection border with number on 3, new raster layer, fill with the same color, select none.
Take your magic wand, click inside the frame you just made, expand by 3, invert, delete, select none.
This is hard to see, so to check, close off your bottom layer and if you have a blank layer showing then it was done right :) Reopen your bottom layer now.

Back on the top layer,  apply penta.com, color dot with these settings
25, 2, 255, 255, 255,

Resize element 26 to 50%, paste in the frame area and move to the left more, apply Mura Meister Copies-*Line and check the 1/n fade out box, change the blend mode to overlay.

If you are not going to animate, merge visible, add your copyright and name.

If you would like to Animate, no not merge.
Be sure you have your copyright and name already added on the top layer of the tag.

Being on the bottom layer, duplicate 2 more times, rename them 1, 2, and 3.
On layer one apply the Xero filter- Fritillary with these settings
5, 10, 30, 15
Layer 2 same number except change the last number to 17
Layer 3 change the number to 19
Close off layer 2 and 3, merge visible to animation shop, paste.
Back to psp, close off layer 1, open layer 2, copy merged to animation, paste after current frame.
One more time back to psp, close off layer 2, open layer 3, copy merged to animation, paste after current frame.
Test your animation, if happy save.

If you would like to do an Avator
I opened a new image 180 x 180, open a size you prefer.
Copy each of the fritillary layers in order, crop, then do the frames the same as you did in the signature tag.
Paste your tube below the top frame layer, like before.
Resize the Christmas element to 37%, paste below the larger frame.
Add your copyright and name and then copy each layer, like you did on the signature tag.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
