Any resemblance to another

tutorial is purely coincidental.

I am using a tube by Enys Guerrero

This tube is available at

CDO

Plugins

VM Stylize - Square Blur

Eye Candy4000 Gradient glow

Open a 700x700 new image.

Open a tube & an image of choice

as a new layer.

Copy and paste the image as

a new layer.

Select your rectangle preset shape tool.

Width set to 8.00

On the materials palette, X out or hide the

fill color option.

For stroke, choose a color from your image.

Draw out a square shape the size of

your image. Convert to raster.

Duplicate the image layer once.

Hide the original image layer for now.

On the image copy layer,apply the

plugin VM Stylize - Square Blur

default settings.

Now on the square shape layer you

made earlier, click inside the shape

with your magic wand tool.

Back to the square blur layer,

selections - invert & press delete

on the keyboard.

Paste your tube between the blur

& shape layers. Press delete again.

Select none.

This should erase any parts of the layers

beyond the shape layer.

Add a drop shadow to the shape & tube layers. 2,2,5,5 black. 

Reselect the square blur layer. Lower the opacity on this layer to 66.

Crop your tag to desired size. Add artist copyright

information & name to the tag.

Thanks for trying my tutorial.
