This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Lets get started

Open your template
Ctrl+D to duplicate
Delete the copyright layer
Delete the background layer.


On Raster Layer 5 Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 8 on new layer then select invert and tap delete key. Unselect and delete original layer.

On Raster Layer 2 Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 4 on new layer then select invert and tap delete key. Unselect and delete original layer.

On Raster Layer 3 Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 14 on new layer then select invert and tap delete key. Unselect and delete original layer.

On Raster Layer 4 Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 11 on new layer then select invert and tap delete key. Unselect and delete original layer.

On Raster Layer 6 Select all float and defloat and copy and paste paper 7 on new layer then select invert and tap delete key. Unselect and delete original layer.

On Raster Layer 8 The Word Art... Add Inner Bevel I used Width 5 Smoothness 33 Depth 3 Ambience -8 Shininess 44 Angle 320 Intensity 31 Elevation 54
Add Gradient Glow Width of 3 Soft Corners 25 Thin White

Put your tube of choice inside the top circle to the far left side duplicate and mirror. Change the blend mode on both copies to Luminance Legacy. Now this is optional On each of the tubes layers add Electrify from Alien Skin .....with the settings Inner white Outer Black and width and opicaty at default settings. Chose radiate from center Spacing 35 Thickness 40 Branching 60 Length 100 Jaggedness 60 Spread 60

Now place the original tube in the center and make it a little bigger than what you placed in the circle.... See my tag for reference.

Now you can use elements of choice or you can use the ones I did.

I used candle 2 and I placed it on the left side under the word art duplicated and mirrored.

Ribbon 2 I placed behide the word art layers at the top and the bottom.

Cross resize at 50% and again at 75%. Place in the center of candle duplicate and mirror.

Heart1 resize at 40% place on the candle holder duplicate and mirror.

Now add a drop shadow to all layers



*****Optional for your tube******

I was turned on to this trick by a good friend of my named Kim. You can check her out Click Here See Kim!

On your tube if you want to make it kinda pop out a little more here is something you can do.

Duplicate your tube layer on the copy layer add a gaussian blur of 2.00 and move it below the original layer. On the original layer blend mode to hard light and change the opacity to 73. Merge the layer down and sharpen!

Crop/resize tag to your preference - add copyright/license & watermark & name ..Save as PNG or JPEG
