coincidence.  You may link back to my tutorials, but do

you may email them to me at tnt-aimee@live.com and I will share

them here :o) Thanks!**

First things first!!

Download and install the filter & font.

Open whatever tube you're going to use and minimize

it until we're ready.  Also download my frame, duplicate it, and close

the original.

I think we're ready!

Change the canvas size of the frame to 800 x 800 pixels

so we have PLENTY of room to work with.

Using your selection tool - Set to freehand,

and with the following settings -

Click each corner of the frame and it should select

the entire inside.

Choose a paper from the kit - Resize 75% Copy

and paste as new layer - Selections - Invert - Delete.

KEEP SELECTED!!

Now let's copy the tube (if using the same tube I did,

resize 140%) Paste as new layer - (Still keeping

selected) - Duplicate the tube layer & hide the layer for now.

Go back to original tube layer and hit delete.

Select none.

Drop shadow this tube layer - 2, -2, 65, 10 - black

Also drop shadow the frame layer.

Now let's go back to the copied tube - Move this layer

above the frame layer.  Grab your eraser tool and erase

the parts of the tube that go beyond the frame.

See below for an example:

Merge visible.

Copy the image and then paste as new layer.

Delete the original.  This puts our image in the center.

Now comes the fun part!!!

Duplicate the image - Resize top layer by 90%.

Make the bottom copy active

Add name and all copyright info and you're done!!

Save as .png for a transparent background or

.jpg for a white background.

I hope you enjoyed this tut and it wasn't too confusing to you!!

Thanks :o)

As always, I made another tag for Crys showing off more bits

of the kit.  Also made two other cluster frames, which you 

can download.  Remember... If you download any of my

cluster frames, please be sure to leave a little thank you. :o)
