Mask of your choice, the one I used is no longer available online

Plugins: No outside plugins used
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.


Let's get started!

Open a new canvas 850 x 850 pixels with a white background

open your tube copy and paste as a new layer resize 40%

add the following elements

element 44 arrange below the tube layer

element 50 arrange below the stones layer

element 36 resize  20% arrange to the left of and below the tube layer

element 98 resize  20% arrange in front of element 36, behind the tube layer
