All the tubes used to realize this tag were created by Azalée
She is only the tuber, the copyright© belongs to the authors of the original images
If you find the « same » tubes elsewhere, it is pure coincidence
because the images she uses are found on the net.
These tubes are for personal use, and not for profit.
Some « decoration » tubes were found on the net,
or received in the following sharing groups, whom she thanks
Beautiful-PSP - fantasiadicolori
This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence.
Translator’s note : Azalée works with PSPX7, and I work with PSPX8
but this tutorial can be realized with another version of PSP

Realization
Step 1
open a new transparent raster layer 900 * 600 pixels (raster 1)
flood fill with a sunburst gradient
adjust > blur > gaussian blur
Step 2
layers > duplicate (copy of raster 1)
effects > plugins > Filter Factory Gallery A > Weave
effects > edge effects > enhance
effects >3D effects > drop shadow > black
Step 3
layers > duplicate (copy 2 of raster 1)
effects > texture effects > texture --> find the texture « grille » provided inthe material > white
image > mirror > mirror horizontal
image > mirror > mirror vertical
Step 4
layers > duplicate (copy 3 of raster 1)
effects > plugins > Toadies > *Sucking Toad*Bevel III
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow > black
Step 5
layers > duplicate (copy 4 of raster 1)
image > mirror > mirror horizontal
opacity of the layer : 50%
layers > merge > merge down (copy 3 of raster 1)
Step 6
layers > duplicate (copy 4 of raster 1)
image > mirror > mirror vertical
opacity of the layer : 50%
layers > merge > merge down (copy 3 of raster 1)
Step 7
selection tool > custom selection
edit / copy
selections > select none
edit/paste as new layer (raster 2)
image > free rotate
effects > image effects > offset
Step 8
selections tool > custom selection
layers > new raster layer (raster 3)
flood fill the selection with the gradient created at the begining (still in the materials palette as FG)
selections > select none
effects > edge effects > enhance
layers > merge > merge down (raster 2)
Step 9
layers > duplicate (copy of raster 2)
image > mirror > mirror horizontal
layers > merge > merge down (raster 2)
Step 10
selection tool > custom selection
layers > new raster layer (raster 3)
flood fill the selection with the gradient
selections > select none
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow > 0 / 0 / 55 / 15,84 / black
layers > arrange > move down
Step 11
selections > load-save selection > from disk > selection « Brigitte_sel1 »
layers > new raster layer (raster 4)
flood fill the selection with color 2
selections > modify > contract > 3 pixels
DELETE
selections > select none
effects > edge effects > enhance
effects >3D effects > drop shadow > black
effects > plugins > Mura’s Meister > Copies
Step 12
selections > load-save selection > from disk > selection « Brigitte_sel1 » (again)
layers > new raster layer (raster 5)
flood fill with the gradient
selections > select none
effects > edge effects > enhance
effects > image effects > offset
effects > plugins > Mura’s Meister > Copies
layers > merge > merge down TWICE (raster 3)
Step 13
layers > duplicate (copy of raster 3)
image > mirror > mirror vertical
layers > merge > merge down (raster 3)
Step 14
selection tool > custom selection
layers > new raster layer (raster 4)
in the materials palette, set color 1 as FG color and flood fill the layer with color 1
selections > modify < contract > 2 pixels
DELETE
selections > select none
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before (don’t change the settings)
Step 15
effects > plugins > Mura’s Meister > Copies
layers > arrange > move down
Step 16
selections > load-save selection > from disk > selection « Brigitte_sel2 »
DELETE
Step 17
layers > new raster layer (raster 5)
the selection is still active
effects > plugisn > VDL Adrenaline > Snowflakes
selections > select none
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before (don’t change the settings)
Step 18
effects > plugins > Unlimited 2 > Simple > Blintz
Step 19
layers > new raster layer (raster 6)
glood fill with color 1
layers > new mask layer > from image
adjust > sharpness > sharpen more
layers > merge > merge group (group-raster 6)
layers > arrange > move down
Step 20
copy / paste as new layer the decoration element 1 (raster 6) don’t move it
you can change the blend mode of the layer : Luminance (Legacy)
Step 21
copy / paste as new layer the tube « Red-Rose-2-Azalee » (raster 7)
(don’t forget to erase the watermark)
layers > arrange > bring to top
effects > image effects > offset
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow > black
Step 22
your tag and your layers palette look like this
Step 23
image > add borders > check « symmetric »> 2 ipxels color 2
Step 24
selections > select all
image > add borders > 25 pixels color 1
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow > black
Step 25
selections > invert
effects > texture effects > texture « Grille » > white as in step 3 (don’t change the settings)
Step 26
image > add borders > 2 pixels color 2
Step 27
selections > select all
image > add borders > 35 pixels color 1
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow as before (don’t change the settings)
Step 28
selections > invert
layers > new raster layer (raster 2)
effects > plugins > VDL Adrenaline > Snowflakes (don’t forget to choose your BG color)
selections > select none
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow
Step 29
copy / paste as new layer the text tube (raster 3)
move it bottom left (see final result)
colorize it if necessary
Step 30
copy / paste as new layer the character tube (raster 4) (erase the watermark)
image > resize > uncheck « all layers » > 72%
move it to the right
adjust > sharpness > sharpen
effects > 3D effects > drop shadow
Step 31
copy / paste the decoration element 2 as new layer (raster 5)
effects > image effects > offset
colorize it if necessary
Step 32
layers > new raster layer (raster 6)
apply your watermark
Step 33
image > add borders > 1 pixel color 2
Step 34
image > risize (optional)
file > save as... type jpeg
