Supplies needed:

1 to 2 tubes of choice, upclose would work best.  I am using the awesome work of Ismael Rac. You can find this tube and more

at his store.  Please do not use his work without a proper license.

Scrapkit you can get at Scrap Dimensions.

Filter I used is Pentacom color dot and you can find it here.

Glitter tile by me and you can download it on Mediafire, or Box.

Ellipse tool is also needed.

Masks by Vix, both are in her Big Mask collection, I used VixBigMask001 and VixBigMask008, download from her blog.

Lets get started!

Open a 700X700 blank canvas.  If you have a smaller screen then open a 600X600 blank canvas.

Now pick a color you want, and make it your foreground, and make your background null.  

Open your preset shapes, and selesct Ellipse.  Make your line style solid, and line size 15.00.

Draw out a medium sized circle, use my tags as a reference.  Now convert to raster layer and duplicate.

Image>Mirror, make sure they are overlapping like mine, and then merge visible.  Now open your glitter tile and

change the color to it.  If you don't know how, then go to adjust>color balance>manual color correction.

Make sure manual target color is checked.  In the source box, it needs to be a shade of grey, the target box is the color you want

your item to be, so you can right click your color and it will change the target color to that.

Once you have the color you want, make the pattern your foreground, and the background stays null. Line size change to 8.00

Draw an overlapping circle, convert to raster and dupicate and mirror.  Use my tag as a reference.

Now go ahead and use your magic wand, feather and tolerance on 0, and click inside the first set of circles, but not the

middle where they overlap. Selections>Modify>Expand by 6

Now pick a gradient that matches your tube and make a new raster layer, move it to the bottom, 

and floodfill it with your gradient.  Now apply penta color dot with default settings.

Copy and paste your tube, how you want her, make sure she is right on top of the gradient layer.

When you have her placed, then Selections>invert, and on your tube layer hit delete. Select none.

Now, duplicate both tube layers, and on the originals go to Adjust>Blur>Guassian Blur 2.00

Now on both the original and the copy, play with your blend modes.  On my left I did overlay on the original

and screen on the copy, and on the right I did multiply for the bottom and screen on the copy.  You do what you want.

Now add a drop shadow to both sets of frames and merge visible.

Now add a new raster layer and move it to the bottom and floodfill with your gradient. Resize to 650X650 if you are

using a 700X700 canvas and 550X550 if you are using the 600X600 canvas.  Make sure all layers is NOT checked.

now go to layers>load/save mask>Load mask from disk.Make sure source luminance, fit to layer and hide all mask are checked.

Merge group.  Now open up the scrapkit, and open the SD-HNYClock and copy and paste it, and resize as needed I did it

650X650 pixels, place it on the very bottom.

Now go to Layers>Load/save mask>Load mask from disk, and look for VixBigMask001 and apply it with the same settings.

Now merge group.

now open SD-HNYTiara, and copy and paste it and resize it how you like. Place it on top of the top mask layer.

add a drop shadow, I did V&H 0 Opacity 40 and Blur 8.00 color black.

Now add anything else you may like.

Add your artist copyright, and your taggers mark and name, then merge visible.  Saved as a png(gives you a clear background)

and you are all done! Hope you enjoyed my tutorial.
