Photobucket

To do this tutorial you must have some knowledge of PSP and Animation Shop.

This Tag was made using PSPX2 and Animation Shop. This tutorial is also copyrighted by Young at Heart Designs.
Im using the awesome work of Keith Gravey. If you wish to use his work you must have a license to use his work before using his tubes.
To purchase his tubes and receive a license go to HERE.
The adorbale kit I used is "I Can't Drive 55 (Boy's Version)" by Kristi W. at Scrappin Divaz Designz and it can be found HERE.

Supplies:
Template #71 by Dezigns By Ali: HERE
Maske #32 by Butterfly Flutterby Creations: HERE
Plug-in: Filters Unlimited 2.0>Bkg Designer sf10 111>Solid Solar Fabric
Plug-in: Eye Candy 4000>Gradient Glow
Font: FerroRosso

I used shadow settings V3,H2, O50, B5, Color Black on ALL elements, layers, text and the tube except for the mask layer.
I also sharpened every element and tube I had to resize to get the quality like the original size.

1 Open template and delete the copyright layer.
2 Click on the Shape 1 layer.
3 Open, copy and paste as a new layer your choice of paper.
4 Click back on your Shape 1 layer and go to Selections>Select All>Float>Defloat.
5 Click back on your newly added paper layer.
6 Go to Selections>Invert and hit delete on your keyboard.
7 Go to Selections>Select None.
8 Now repeat Steps #:2-7 for all included layers in the template.
9 Now open, copy and paste as a new layer your choice of tube.
10 Resize and position where desired.
11 Open the mask and minimize it.
12 Go to your very 1st layer and open, copy and paste as a new layer your choice of paper.
13 Resize to the canvas size.
14 Move this layer to the bottom so it is the 1st layer now.
15 Go to Layers>New Mask Laye>From Image.
16 In the drop down window for Source select BflyFlbyMask32.
17 Make sure Source luminance is selected and hit ok.
18 Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Group.
