~Supplies Needed~

Tube ~ i'm using the awesome artwork of Elias chatzoudis, which you need a licence to buy & can get here ~ PSP Tubes Emporium

Template ~ Karma by Staci here ~ Dezigns By Staci

Filters ~ Xero Radiance, Tramages/Tow The Line , noise, gradient glow

Font ~ BitDust2 & Weltron

Drop shadow of choice

Paint splats of choice


~Lets Begin~

Open Karma Template, canvas 750x750, delete credit layer & white BG layer. Hide the 4 wordart layers for now.

Circle 1 ~ Select all, float, defloat, new layer & flood fill with a colour to match your tube, i used #cf2524, select none, delete orig layer. Effects, Tramages, Tow the Line - 80, 54, 136, 55. Flood fill all the other green layers with #cf2524

On circle 4 i made a gradient, FG #cf2524, BG black, linear, repeats 1, angel 45, invert unticked, KEEP selected & paste close up of tube, resize if needed, invert delete, delete orig layer, blend mode screen

On the 3 black squares, select all, float, defloat, new layer & flood fill top & bottom with #cf2524, middle square flood fill with same gradient as above. Once you've flood filled one KEEP selected & paste part of tube, invert delete, do the same with other 2 squares. Xero Radiance on tubes

Circle 2 ~ highlight, effects, texture effects, weave - 2 10 2, fill gaps ticked, #cf2524

Add drop shadow to layers where you wish. Merge all these layers visible, move slightly up on canvas, unhide Karma wordart, drag down to near bottom, select all, float, defloat & change to a colour that suits your tube, add some noise, modify by 4, new layer & floodfill black, drag below, select none, delete orig layer, merge down, resize 80%, gradient glow Fat, add drop shadow.

Colour the rest of the wordart to suit adding gradient glow & drop shadows, resize if you want & place how you like, see mine for reference.

Once happy merge all the wordart down on to one layer, Paste tube as new layer to right, resize if needed, Xero Radiance, i added a gradient glow twice fat then added drop shadow

Add © & name, copy merged into anim shop, resize 600, paste back into PSP, sharpen, resize 90%, new raster layer & add paint splats of choice, slight drop shadow

thats it we are done! Save as PNG!
