Font of choice, I am using CAC Shishoni Brush

Some things that are done over and over I am going to abbreviate as follows:

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 template shift D to duplicate, close original
Change template size to 850 x 850
Flood fill the background layer with white.
Delete the following layers: credits, word art 1, word art 2, purple rec top, lt grey rec top

Make sure the circle in the middle is selected, open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer, click delete on your keyboard. Change the blend mode to Luminance(L). Lower opacity to about 80

Open your main tube, C/P arrange along the bottom. If you're using the same tube as I did, I resized by about 70%

Add elements:

add paper 1 just above the white background and apply your mask.
i wanted a little bit more mask showing around the top and bottom so after applying the mask and merging the group I then clicked on my Mesh Warp tool and grabbed a few of the little squares on it and pulled them down, up or over to drag the edges of the mask where I wanted.
