Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
For this tutorial, I’m using a
tube by Al Rio.
I purchased the tube at CILM
which has closed.The artist's
tubes are no longer available.

Open a 600x250 new image.
Open a tube of choice.

Copy & paste your tube as
a new layer onto your tag image.
Duplicate the tube once.

On the bottom tube layer,
apply the plugin

Default settings.

Use your selection tool,
select a horizontal narrow
rectangle along the copies layer.

Promote this selection to layer.
Select none.
Duplicate it once.
Move the copy either down or
up on your tag.
Merge the two layers together.

Now on the copies layer,
go to adjust
hue & saturation -set both to 0.
This will greyscale the layer.

Apply Xero Porcelain on the same
layer. Default settings.

Add a drop shadow to your 2nd tube

together.

merged with another layer.
