STEP 1 - Masque

 Open the template and duplicate. Close the original.
Make it bigger. Click on Image > Canvas Size and enter: 800X600.
Delete the Credits layer (Raster 16). And activate the white background: Raster 1. Fill this layer with black #000000. I would prefer a black background for the Results page.

Mask : Add a layer and fill with one of the colours from your tube - choose a light colour. I used #DEEBF2.

Open Vaybs Mask HW06. Click on your work and Masks > New > From image - OK. Then Masks > Delete. In PSP 8 and above, it's under Layers > New Mask Layer > From Image. OK then Delete.

STEP 2 - Raster 2

Activate Raster 2 - Selections > Select All > Selections > Float > Selections > Defloat and fill with a gradient: #000000 for the background and use one of the colours from your tube for the foreground: I used  #80BCD6, a darker shade than the blue I used previously. Set the Angle at 30 and Repeats at 5.
Then apply Xero Fritillary :

  Leave as it is.

STEP 4 - Copy of Vector 4

Activate Copy of Vector 4 - Selections > Select All > Selections > Float > Selections > Defloat. Fill with the same tube colour used in the gradient and apply Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow :

Then apply the Blinds effect. Effects > Texture Effects > Blinds:
 

And then the same Gradient Glow.

STEP 11 - Rasters 11, 12, 13

Move the opacity back to 100% on the Layer Palette for all three layers. Then fill with colours taken from your tube. I used red #BB0D43 and blue #35718B. Selections > Select All > Selections > Float > Selections > Defloat on each layer before filling.
Then apply Penta color dot:


And apply the same Gradient Glow on each layer.

I have also applied the gradient Glow used in Step 14 to my tube.

STEP 17 - Resizing

File > Save.

Now click on Image and Resize to 80%. Make sure that All layers is checked. And save again, adding _80 to the name.

STEP 18 - Le texte Vamp Freak

Ouvrir une image 400x300

Prendre l'outil Texte :
Colour #FFFFFF - Font Pixelette - Size 6 - Bold and Vector.
Click on Objets > Align > Center in canvas.
Layers > Convert to Raster layer. Apply Mura's Meister Copies:
Choose Tiling in the Menu on the left and set as below:



Click back on your work, and activate Raster 5.
I am going to copy paste the text three times because I want the lines of text to be aligned neatly in the middle of each rectangle.
Copy the text Vamp Freak as a new layer and position it so the first few lines of the text fit nicely in the middle of the first rectangle. Use the Lasso tool - Point to Point to select all the text below that is not needed and delete.

Repeat for the second rectangle, the rectangle in the middle of Raster 5: copy the text and position it so that it fits neatly in this second rectangle and delete what's not needed.

And repeat for the 3rd rectangle, the rectangle at the bottom of Raster 5.

STEP 19 - Name and Credits

Name:  Do not leave your tag without any text.
Add your name with the font Cramps or one of your choice- #FFFFFF. Size 48 and Bold.
 Then apply the Gradient glow of Step 14.

Credits: for your tube with Pixelette size 6.

STEP 20 - The end

Check your work and reposition the layers if needed.
