FTU- Sizzling Hot

Original Post Date- 3/7/13, 6:35 PM Central Standard Time





This tutorial is borne from my own manipulated lil' mind. 
Any similarity to any other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.
This tutorial was written for those who have a working 
knowledge of PSP and was written using PSP X2, 
tho' any version should work.

Supplies Needed: 
Scrapkit: I'm using a FTU kit from Tasha named 
Just Beachy. You can find this kit, here.
*Give Tasha some love for the kit. 

Tube: I'm using the artwork of Ismael Rac.
I had bought this tube at Ismael Rac's shop.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Template: cm_template_circles2_june_biene from Biene
on the Creative Misfits blog, here. 

Filters: Xero- Porcelain
Eye Candy 4000- Gradient Glow 

Font: Carpenter Script

Drop shadow: 5 5 50 5, black.

Repeat these for the rest of the buttons.

Then add a bevel to each:

Next we'll add some elements.

Then, draw a circle with your shape tool:

Next, add your name on the path:

Delete your circle vector layer & select none.

Then add a gradient glow:

No drop shadow. 

Finally, delete the white background,
