This tutorial was written by Mizteeque on 16th September 2018, and assumes a working knowledge of psp

written using psp9 but other versions should work just as well

Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supplies needed:

Tube, scrapkit & font of choice

This one is entirely upto you what supplies you use

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open blank canvas 700 x 700

hold down the shift key while drawing out a 

largeish square in the middle of your canvas

change b/g to different paper 

draw out a rectangle right across the middle

of the square and out either side

center in canvas

convert to raster

drag below square

duplicate

change b/g to a 3rd paper or a matching color/gradient

hold shift key, draw out a small square

convert to raster

drag to top of layer palette

duplicate twice

position down the right side of the square

rotate top one right 5

rotate middle one left 6

rotate bottom one right 8

now on each square do the following

select all, float, defloat

expand by 5

new raster layer

selection tool, rectangle, feather 0

select half of the rectangle and delete

position behind the small squares

now copy and paste your tube just above the large square

bottom of the square

now back to the small squares

on each one do the following 

select all, float, defloat

paste tube, position to your liking

invert selection

deselect

add any effects you wish to the 3 tube layers

I added Kohans autointerlace to 2 of mine 

and penta.com, jeans to the 3rd

and I changed the blend mode of all 3 to luminance

Add a white gradient glow to the large square,

and both long rectangles

Add any elements you wish from your chosen scrapkit

dont forget your dropshadow

Add name, copyright and license information

delete white b/g

merge visible

crop and save as png
