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 Funk You by Wicked Princess Scraps.

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

Mask of choice, I used sax-ma1 (inverted), and if this is your work could you please contact me so I can credit you.

Font of choice, I used Wet Dream.

Filters: 

Xero - Nostalgia

Xero - Clairty

Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow.

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Copy and paste a paper into your image and apply your mask. Merge the group.

Begin with the barrel elements place elements as desired then add drop shadow (I used 4,4,55,10) and duplicate.

On the duplicate layer add the Nostalgia filter with these settings, or those of your choosing:

On the duplicate layer apply a Gaussian blur of 4 and change the properties to overlay.

Repeat this for each of the barrel elements you place.

Next using the green drip re-size and use the mesh warp tool bend the slime to the barrel edges, and add a drop shadow when done.

Repeat this step on desired barrels.

Place a word art from your kit, add a drop shadow, Gradient Glow and duplicate.

You may use these gradient glow settings or those of your choice:

             

Add a Gaussian blur of 4 and change properties to overlay.

Now place your tube and use the clarity filter using these settings, or those of your choosing:

Duplicate the tube and add a Gaussian Blur of 4 and adjust properties to overlay.

Add a gradient glow to both layers, you may use these settings from above or those of your choosing:

Now place the elements of choice around the tube layers above and below the layers for balance.

to highlight specific elements add a Gaussian blur to a duplicate layer and change the properties to overlay.

Once you have achieved your desired result, re-size your tag add your copyright and name and you have completed this tutorial.
