Masquerade

For this tut I am using the fantastic artwork of Camilla Drakenborg

the tube is called Masquerade you can purchase her tubes from upyourart.com

 grab a fab bokeh texture from deviant art HERE 

I looked for one that had similar colours as the tube I wanted to use

Open a new canvas 650 x 300

resize texture by 650 width pixels using smartsize as mine was pretty large

copy and paste the texture onto your canvas

copy and paste tube onto the canvas, then change the blend mode by going to Layers - Properties - and change the bend mode from normal screen

lower the opacity to 36%

add another tube i used the same one , resize by 80% using smartsize and arrange to the left side

add a new raster layer

thenusing your selection tool on rectangle and draw out a square then flood fill it with a colour from the tube i used colour code #931558

then go to selection modify - contract by 5

then hit the delete key to remove the excess, so you have a white frame

then selection none

then go to rotate free roate right by 3

then add a drop shadow

then add a new raster layer then floodfill with a colour from the tube i used colour code #931558

floodfill layer the go to select all - then selections - modify - contract by 5 and hot the delete key to delete the excess, so you are left with a border around the edge

then with your pen tool, set to width 5 draw out a straight line horizontally across the canvas convert to raster layer

then with your erase the bit inside the box frame you made

then drag this layer beneath the box frame

add your name i used font windsong set on size 90 pixels all lower case

add your copyright

add a new raster layer

then make a selection with your selection tool set on rectangle at the bottom of your tag, make it to fit where inside the line you drew out across the tag earlier

then floodfill the selection with white and set the blend mode to soft light

move this layer beneath the left tube layer

copy merged  and paste into animation shop

back to PSP

move the white rectangle above the line

copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame

back to PSP

move up again this time you may find that a part shows  inside the box frame, 

simply erase the part that shows in the frame

copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame

back to PSP

move up again this time line up the rectangle with the top of the box frame, and again erase anything inside the box frame,

copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame

back to PSP

move up again this time move the rectangle to the top of the canvas, 

you may notice that the soft light rectangle doesnt reach far enough over now, 

because its above the box frame, so just make another another selection that matches the one you have and floodfill again with white. as the layer is already set to soft light it it should still be transparent

selections none

and again  for neatness erase anything inside the box frame,

copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame

back to PSP

in animation shop go to select all -  

then animation  -  frame properties - and change the dispaly time to 20 

save your tag with a unique name and you are done
