Supplies

1 tube of choice – I used the beautiful artwork of Katarina Koukiotis which can be purchased from PSP Tube Stop.  You must have a license to use.  This particular tube comes with the little elements you see in my tag – cards, hat, and watch.

Font of choice - I used Chicken Basket here

Weescotlass Mask 208 here

Supplies for this tutorial here:
Paper, branch, and scattered stars

This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

~~ Lets get started ~~

Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

New Raster layer.
Make your Selection Tool active set on Circle.
Create a circle approximately 475 pixels.
Flood fill with #151515
Duplicate (and close this layer out for now)
Highlight the original circle layer.
Adjust/Add Remove Noise/Add Noise:
Gaussian and Monochrome checked
Noise: 50%
OK
Center this circle on your canvas.
Click anywhere outside of the circle with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Invert
New Raster layer.
Copy and paste the paper that I supplied Into Selection.
Deselect for now.

Open up the other circle layer.
Resize 55%
Apply the same noise effect.
Move into position – see my tag for reference.
This is all we’ll do with this layer for now.

New Raster layer.
Make your Selection Tool active set on Rectangle.
Create a rectangle approximately 350 x 400 pixels.

Click anywhere outside of it with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Invert
Paste the paper Into Selection.
Deselect for now.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer at the top of your layers pallet.
If you’re using the same tube as I did, resize 80% and put it so that the bottom left corner is snug into the corner of the black rectangle.
Highlight the Rectangle paper layer.
Click anywhere outside of it with your Magic Wand.
Highlight the tube layer and erase the area of the tube that overhangs the black rectangle.
Deselect.

Paste your tube again.
Move into position over the small circle paper layer.
Highlight the paper layer.
Click anywhere outside of it with your Magic Wand.
Highlight the tube layer.
Tap the delete key.
Deselect.
Lower the Opacity of the tube to about 24.

Paste your tube again.
Repeat the above step.
Lower the Opacity of the tube to about 14.

Add the elements:

New Raster layer at the top of your layers pallet.

Merge Group.
Move this just a little toward the top right corner of your canvas.
