Hammond Blend

What you will need for this tutorial:-

Paint Shop Pro - (PSP) any version, mine was done in X2

Tube of choice. I am using the awesome work of Ted Hammond . Ted's work is currently licensed through Creative Design Outlet (CDO) and you can purchase them from their store -

Filters - Mura Meister Copies

AAA Frames- Photo Frame

Font of choice. - I used Put Another One In

Let's get started.

Open a new image 600 x 250 pixels at 72 dpi. Flood fill with white.

Copy and paste your tube onto the canvas then apply Mura Meister Copies - Line Random Rotate. You may need to increase the Number so that the canvas is almost entirely covered.

Apply a Motion Blur to this layer twice with the following setting:-

Edge Effects- Enhance. repeat.

Duplicate this layer, and mirror the duplicate. Change the blend mode of the duplicate to Screen. Merge Visible.

Copy and paste your tube onto the canvas, and position to the top left, arrange so that the portion you want is showing on the canvas. Crop off any excess. Repeat at the bottom right.

Change the blend modes on both these tubes to different ones. You will need to try them out to get the best effects for your tube. Merge Visible.

Copy and paste your tube and position to the centre of the canvas to fit between the two part tubes. Give this a nice drop shadow.

Pick a pale colour from your background as your background colour, foreground null,and with your preset shape rectangle draw a narrow rectangle right across your tag, pull the sides of the tag out so that your rectangle is wider than the tag - convert to raster layer.

Now go to Distortion Effects- Wave and use the following settings:-

Inner Bevel:-

add a drop shadow of choice. Duplicate this line and position both of them to suit your tubes.

Merge Visible.

Now go to AAA Frames- Foto Frame :-

Now add your name with a suitable font. I used Put Another One In, and used the same inner bevel as before.
