Now for the tube...
I used a gorgeous FTU tube from one
of my favorite artists Zindy Nielsen
but you may use whatever tube
you wish.
Copy and paste tube
mirror
resize 65 %
arrange in whatever spot
looks good to you
choose the magic wand
click in the middle of left frame
modify and expand by 4
invert, delete
select none
move behind frame
copy and paste tube again
resize 65%
arrange how you like
choose the magic wand
click inside the middle of right frame
invert, delete
select none
drop shadow both
tube layers
you may add whatever elements you like
when done merge all layers
now add your name
artist copyright, save as a png and your done.
Make sure when and if you resize the tag that you
adjust and sharpen otherwise the tag
may be blurry.
