Animation Shop I will ref to this as AS
Tube of choice- I using the great work of Barbara Jensen you can get her lovely work here http://www.barbarajensentubes.com/
Template by Dave Mega Template no 1 here http://spawnsfstemplates.blogspot.co.uk
Drop Shadow I used was H & V 3 Opacity 65 Blur 5
Font of choice I used Winter Flakes
Lets begin
Remember to save often
Step 1.
Open up your template, shift D and close the original delete the credits and layers Middle lines,
Left lines, Right lines, Middle Octagons, Left Octagons,
Right Octagons, Middle Burst, and Middle ZigZag lines,
this will leave you with nine layers.
Step 2.
Make your background layer active, Select all, float, defloat, add a new raster layer,
fill this with a colour from your tube, select none, I used #e13131, delete the original layer.
Step 3
Make your middle background active and and do the same as you did for your background layer,
this time I used #f6e4e4, delete the original layer keep active,
Effects, Texture Effects and chose one you like I used Asphalt
Step 4.
Active Right bursts, Select all, float, defloat, add a new raster layer, fill this layer with a gold gradient,
again delete the original layer, repeat on the Left bursts, merge, the Left bursts down to the right one,
duplicate twice making three layers in all,rename Bursts 1, 2 and 3,
make your 1st bursts layer active, Adjust Add/Remove Noise,
use the settings Uniform Monochrome, noise 50, active 2nd layer but noise at 60, close,
do the same with 3rd layer but noise at 70 close
Step 5.
Activate Tribal layer, and Select all, float, defloat, add a new raster layer, fill with a green gradient
I used Duo tone green that came with my PSP, activate Tribal layer and give it a drop shadow, I used
O & H 4 Opacity 65 and Blur 5, but I leave this up to you.
Step 6
Activate your Grey border and Select all, float, defloat, add a new raster layer,
and fill with your gold gradient
Step 7.
Open up the tube you are going to use, copy and paste resize if necessary,
I did mine by 80%, give it the same drop shadow as before,
move it down so its above the second layer see mine for ref:.

Shift D to make another image if you want to make a AV
Step 8.
Open Animation Shop with your 1st bursts layer open, copy merged,
and take to AS, paste as new animation,
back to PSP close of the 1st Bursts layer and open bursts 2 copy merged,
and take over to AS and paste after current layer, repeat with layer 3
Step 9
Crop the piece of the image you want to use, and repeat step 8
