This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used ChocoMint  by Honored Scraps.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©PinUpToons which requires a license which may be purchased at CDO .

Mask of choice, I used WSL_Mask261, and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Miss Donna Regular.

Filter: Eyecandy 4000 Gradient Glow

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Choose a paper from your kit apply a mask, (layers, load/save mask) then merge your group (Merge, Merge group).

Now take a scatter from your kit and place beneath your mask layer, duplicate, mirror and flip.

Choose elements to compliment your desired vision, or just play until you find what you like.

Re-size your elements as desired between 15-50, position different elements around your mask.

Place your tube during this stage and adjust as needed.
Use your deform tool to rotate and adjust your elements.
Duplicate and adjust using your erase tool for better blending of the elements as well.

It is OK to re-size the same element several times for a specific effect.

You may add a drop shadow and a gradient glow to different elements to help blend and accentuate the tube and elements.
Unfortunately I lost some of the steps during the writing of this tutorial, so you may use my tag as a guide if desired.

Once you've achieved your vision re-size, add your copyright and name then you are done.

Thank you for trying this simple tutorial.
