On to the Tutorial!

Open up your supplies and place where you need them. Also open up your tube and copy.

Make a new 600x600 image. Paste your tube as a new layer and toggle view.

If you are using the mask do this:

On your 1st raster layer flood fill with a dark colour of you choice. Load Libra mask, invert transparency checked. Merge group layer.

If you are using the font do this:

Toggle Foreground colour and choose a dark colour of your choice for the background colour. Text size 350, you may need to fiddle to get the perfect size.

Now go to Penta.com-Dots and Crosses and use these settings

Dot & cross settings

Go to Effects->Texture Effects->Blinds Use these settings and add a drop shadow of your choice.

Blinds settings

Now make a new raster layer and flood fill this with a lighter or contrasting colour of your choice. Load Becky_Mask042 uncheck the invert transparency box. Merge Group.

Now add your quote. You can use a preset shape with the background toggled to do this. Simply make the correct size and once it looks right use your text tool on the shape. One you are done with your text toggle the shape layer (by clicking on the +) so only your text appears and convert to raster layer. You can also use your pen tool to do the same.

Once this is done select your text modify and expand by two. New raster layer. Flood fill the selection white and merge your text and the flooded area. Add a drop shadow. Add your name and do the same thing.

Lastly add all your copyright info and resize to your liking.
