Mask: WSL Mask 84 Links to masks are on the right sidebar

Plugins: No outside plugins
I do use Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow on all my copyrights/credits layers
I do this because some forums will make a .png tag show up with a black background and then your
copyright doesn't show.



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.


Open your template, shift D to duplicate and close the original
Delete the following layers: cr

Change the canvas size to 700 x 700

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.
Delete the original template layer

So I used the following for each layer

layer 1 use paper 3
layer 2 use paper 3
layer 3 use paper 8
layer 4 use paper 10
layer 5 use paper 9 add noise, random, monochrome, 50
layer 6 use paper 4
layer 7 use paper 5
layer 8 use paper 4
 
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, resize by 90%


Add the following elements:
bow 4 resize  35% flip, mirror arrange on the right at the bottom of the rectangle
clip 2 resize  45% rotate left 45 arrange on top left
tag 3 resize  45% arrange where the circle and rectangle meet on the right

Add a new raster layer above the white background
