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 Gothic Heart by CBJ Scraps.

Tubes of choice, I used the art of ©Zindy S. D. Nielsen which requires a license which may be purchased at Zindy Zone Store.

Mask of choice, I used NikMask10, and you may purchase it here.

Font of choice, I used Black Chancery.

Filters: 

EyeCandy4000 ~~ Gradient Glow

Xero ~~ Radiance

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750 you will re-size later.

Begin with sparkles from your kit, copy and paste several layers around on your image to scatter them around evenly then merge visible.

(Layers, Merge, Merge visible)

Copy and paste your paper choice into the image then apply your mask (Layers, Load/save mask, Load mask from disk).

Merge the group (Layers, merge, Merge group).

Choose words elements from your kit and place above the mask layer and re-size as necessary, apply the same mask and merge the group.

Place your first tube as desired add a drop shadow of choice I used 6,6,60,12. Then apply Radiance with these settings:

Add a gradient glow with these settings:

Now Place your second tube as desired and apply the same drop shadow then radiance with these settings:

Add a gradient glow. You may adjust the gradient glow as needed to fit your needs on all of the elements and tubes this applies to Radiance as well. Sometimes you need to adjust the settings to suit your tube or your element.

Begin to place your elements round your tubes as needed.

For your frame element re-size and position as desired.

Re-size your tubes down to fit the frame.

On the frame layer use your magic wand tool and the shift key to select inside each of the frames.

Position your tubes "in" the frame using your erase tool to erase any overlapping bits then merge the layers and invert and delete.(Shift+Ctrl+I) then click delete. Select None or Ctrl D.

Move the small tube layer beneath the frame layer and duplicate.

On the original layer change the properties to Luminance.

On the duplicate layer add a gaussian blur of 2 (Adjust, blur, Gaussian blur) then change prperties to overlay.

Adjust the transparency to 80 or whatever your choice is.

Continue placing your elements as desired using duplicates and your erase tool to help blend the elements as desired.

You may also use your Radiance or gradient glow filter to help certain elements pop.

To adust the colors/hue of elements to compliment your tubes you may use the manual color correction or the colorize tool.

Play with your filters to achieve your vision.

Once you have achieved the desired reult, re-size, add your copyright and your name.
