Supplies needed:
Scrapkit of choice - I used my own PTU kit “Punk Love”. If you’re interested in purchasing the kit, visit Digital Chaos.
Scraps needed: 1 paper, frame, leaves or doodle, flower or other accent
Tube or Image of choice – I am using an awesome customizable tube by Ismael Rac, www.xeracx.com. You can purchase his tubes at his website. Do not use his work unless you have purchased the right to do so.
Font of choice – I am using “Digs My Heart”, but you can use any font you like.
Plugin – Mura’s Meister: Copies & Eye Candy 3.1 Glow (You can get both for free).

This tutorial is written using PSP X2, but should be easy to do on other versions. It is written assuming you have a general working knowledge of PSP.
Let’s get started!
First, open a new canvas 600 x 600.
Open Paper05, resize 60%, copy and paste it onto your canvas.
Open Frame18, resize 40%, sharpen, copy and paste it onto your canvas.
Activate your magic wand tool (tolerance & feather set to 0), click inside your frame.
Selections>Modify>Expand by 15. Selections>Invert.
Activate your paper layer, hit delete. Selections>None.
Copy and paste your tube above your frame layer. Resize as necessary. Add a drop shadow. (I used 5, 5, 55, 8, black.)
Duplicate your frame. Drag the duplicate frame above your tube. Erase the parts of it that cover up your tube, except at the bottom, so it looks like your tube is coming out of the frame.
Back on your tube layer, erase the parts of it that show below the bottom of the frame.
Save your progress.
Go to your original (bottom-most) frame layer. Add a drop shadow. I used the same one as on the tube.
Open Leaves02. Resize 40%, and copy & paste it onto your canvas. Drag it so it’s the bottom layer.
Apply Mura’s Meister Copies: Encircle, using the following settings:
Add your accents of choice. I used Flower5 resized 50%, and Flower1 resized 40%, and Love1 resized 85%.
Add a drop shadow to your accents. I used the same one as before.
Add your copyright info and, if applicable, license number.
Now – to add your name & get it to curve around –
Activate your preset shape tool & choose circle. Foreground any color, background turned off, line width 2 or 3.
Draw out a circle (top layer) about the size of the outside edge of your frame.
Activate your text tool. Foreground off, background set to color you want for your name.
Now, hover your little text tool (with the A) over the top left of your circle until a little curvy line shows up under the “A”, then click to use your text tool.
Write out your name; apply the text tool. If the fonts not where you want it, you can make the circle larger or smaller, or move your name along the circle.
Once you have it where you want it – hide your circle layer. Your text should be visible, but your circle should not. Convert to Raster layer.
Apply gradient glow (optional) and / or drop shadow.
Save as .png and you’re done!
