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 the wicked Dragged To Hell kit 
from Tasha's Playground.
*This kit is not available.

Tube: I'm using the awesome artwork of Garrett Blair.
I had bought this at CDO.
He has since left the store.
Do not use this artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Mask: MPM_mask07 from Millies PSP Madness.
You can find this mask here on her blog.
*Make sure to leave a thank you for the mask. 

Filters: Xero- Radiance
Eye Candy 4000- Gradient Glow

Font: Drakon

Drop shadows: 2 -2 60 10, black 
20 15 65 10, black for the bats

Save your progress often.  

Let's do this!  

Open a new canvas 650 X 650 px.
Copy & paste paper06. 
Apply the mask & merge group.

Copy & paste frame04. 

Resize 85%.
With your magic wand, click inside the frame.
Selections- Modify- Expand by 4 px. Invert.
Copy & paste paper08. 

Resize 65%. 
Hit delete & select none.
Move the paper below your frame in layers palette.
Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Now we'll add some elements.
For each one, I added a drop shadow, 
unless specified otherwise.

Position in the lower center,
like my example.

Next, add your main tube.

Position her on the right, like my example.
Apply Xero: Radiance at these settings:

Add a drop shadow to your tube.

Continue to add the following elements,
adding drop shadows to each:

Add the following drop shadow to both:
20 15 65 10, black

Add any other elements if you prefer.

Crop & resize to your own liking.

Now add your proper copyrights & watermarks.

Now add your name in an off-black colour.
I used #2c2c2f.
Next, add a bevel:  

Add a gradient glow at these settings: 

Then add your drop shadow to this layer,
using these settings:
2 -2 60 10, black.

Finally, merge visible, save as a PNG & enjoy.
