MC_Misfit Template 1 by Melissa, available at the Creative Misfits Creations blog.

Font of choice, I am using Daniel Script

Mask: Vix Big Mask 1

Plugins: Alien Skin Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow

Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Add a drop shadow of your choosing to tubes & elements throughout. I usually use 1, 1, 50, 5 unless otherwise noted.

Let's get started!

Open your template, shift D to duplicate, close the original

Delete the following layers: Raster 3, Merged (the top one), Raster 5

Fill the layers with papers, to do this make sure the layer you want to fill has been clicked on in your layer palette. Click inside the shape with your magic wand, selections, modify, invert, open your paper, copy and paste as a new layer, click delete on your keyboard.

For layers that have noise, or the checkerboard looking layer, instead of clicking with your magic wand, go to selections, select all, float, defloat, then invert and copy and paste your paper or add a new layer and flood fill with a color of your choosing.

These are the papers I used

Raster 7 & Raster 2, use paper 2

Raster 1, paper 7

Merged layer just above raster 7 (the long rectangles at the top and bottom) fill with white 

add noise, monochrome, uniform at 75

For the merged layer, just above the two middle squares, fill with black

Raster 6 fill with #b41e1f

Raster 4 leave as is

Open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer, if you're using the same one I am, resize by 50%

Add the following elements, check my tag for exact placement

City scene arrange on top, behind the rectangle and frame, erase the bits that stick out beyond the edges

Silhouette add a gradient glow with the width of 5, white

I erased her hand where it was sticking out on the left

Sign, resize 45%

Speakers, resize 45% mirror, add gradient glow of 6 change the colors to white and #b41e1f

Minipod resize 35%

Martini resize 35%

Paddle resize 55%

Handcuffs resize 45% rotate left 45

Make a gradient with the foreground set at #b41e1f and the background on black 

set on Linear, angle 35, repeats 3

Add a layer above the white background layer, flood fill with your gradient
