One thats sitting lying or can look over the text looks best. I've used the stunning work of Suzanne Woolcott you can purchase her tubes here

Eye Candy 5 Impact - Gradient Glow

(Eye Candy 3 or 4000 would work too)

Open your tube in psp and load your mask.

Open up a white canvas 500 x 400

Copy and Paste your tube as a new layer.

Load the mask and use the following settings.

Lower Opacity to 70

Next find your text tool and set it up with your chunky font.

Set your fill to a dark colour from your tube.

Use the nodes to stretch it out so it fits across the canvas. Use the example as reference.

Covert to Raster.

Selections - Float
Selections - Defloat

Using your clone brush. Clone your tube over the text.

Selections - Modify - Expand by 3

Add a new raster and drag it below your text.

Flood fill with white.

Apply Eye Candy - Gradient Glow



I used the factory default and clicked on the Basic tab and adjust the gradient so the orange was a dark colour from the tube and the yellow to a lighter colour from your tube.

Using your second font type the name again.

Convert to raster and add the gradient glow.

Position in the bottom right.

Resize your tube and copy and paste as a new layer.
