Tube of choice- I used Barbara Jensen you can buy her lovely work here http://www.barbarajensentubes.com/
Drop Shadow I used was H & V 4 Opacity 40 Blur 5
Font of choice I used Irish Unicialfebeta
Liner Angle 0 Repeats 0, or one that looks good with it
Lets begin
Remember to save often
Step 1.
New image 600 x 400 fill with a gradient, Liner, Angle 0 Repeats 0.
Use one that looks good with your tube, name this background.
Step 2
Take you preset tool, with background white, and foreground null,
and find DIV44, this came with my PSP, hold your shift key down,
and make it fit your image, to make sure its in the middle apply
Objects Align Centre of Canvas, Select none,
take your magic wand, and click in the white image you have made,
promote selection to layer KEEP selected, and fill with a colour from your tube,
I did #406532, select none, Adjust Add Noise Uniform, and Monochrome ticked
and Noise at 70, on both layers name them noise 1 and 2 close noise 2 off
Step 3
Copy and paste your tube re-size if necessary,
please remember if you re-size to, Adjust, Sharpen,
and give it a drop shadow.
Shift D twice this is for your AV, and tag put these image's to one side
Step 4 ***
Active your background layer, duplicate and bring to top,
Select All Modify and Contact by 8, hit delete and Select None,
apply Eye Candy Gradient Glow, Glow Width 5 Soft Corners 25,
and Opacity 100, Colour Pride, apply again,
and as you can see makes a great frame,
Add your name and copyright and a saying that fits your tube.
On the name and saying give it the same drop shadow as your tube
Step 5
Open up AS with noise 2 closed, copy merge, and take over to AS.
Paste as a new image, back to PSP, close noise 1 and open noise 2,
copy merge, and take over to AS paste into current frame.
I set my frames at 60 when happy save as a G.I.F ***
Step 5
Back to PSP open one of the image you put to one side, and crop this 600 X 300,
using the part of image you want,
add your name and copyright, repeat step 4, *** to ***
Step 6
Open up your other image and crop this by150 X 150,
again using the part of image you want,
add your name and copyright,
repeat step 4 *** to *** if you want to animate your AV
