Artwork © Rion Vernon.
You need to purchase a licence to use Rion's adorable artwork.
Visit CILM to get yours!
Please note, I purchased mine from GILD before Rion went to CILM.

Lets begin!

1. Open a new canvas. Mine was 550x550 as I was using my GILD tubes.
Floodfill with white.
Using a colour from your tube draw out a rectangle with your rectangle preset shape.
Foreground - your colour, Background - Null, Line Width - 10.
Convert to Raster Layer.

2. Using your magic wand, select the inside of your rectangle.
Selections - Modify - Expand - 4.
Floodfill with another colour from your tube.
Selections - Select None.
Layers - Arrange - Move Down.

3. Once again, using your rectangle preset shape tool draw out another rectangle.
Foreground - Null, Background - same colour as the first rectangle.
Draw out a smaller rectangle in the middle of your larger one.
[see finished tag for reference]
Layers - Convert to Raster layer.
With your magic wand, click on this layer.
Selections - Modify - Contract - 5.
Layer - New Raster Layer. Floodfill with a lighter colour.
Keep Selected!

4. Copy and Paste your tubes of choice as new layers.
Once you have them how you like them, Selections - Invert. Hit the delete key on your keyboard on every tube layer.
Selections - None.
I then merged all my tube layers into one layer.
Duplicate this layer.
Effects - Texture Effects - Blinds with the following settings:
[change the colour to one from your tube]

blinds settings

Lower the opacity of both tube layers to 30 or so.

5. Make the first frame you made active.
Bring it to the top of your layer palette.
Effects - Texture Effects - Weave with the following settings:
[change to a colour from your tube]

Apply a drop shadow of V & H [1] Opacity [40] Blur [4] Colour [Black]
Then another with the following: V & H [0] Opacity [40] Blur [4] Colour [Black]

6. Activate your pen tool. Line width 2, colour from your tube, Line Style - Repeating Arrows.
Draw out a line of arrows. Convert to Raster Layer.
Duplicate this layer. Image - Mirror, Image - Flip.
Place them into position.
Still on Pen tool. Line width 2, Line Style - Diamonds.
Draw out a line of diamonds. Duplicate as many times as you want and place in position.

7. At this stage I hid my background layer and merged all my other layers.
Add your main tube and give it a drop shadow of choice.

8. Make your background layer active.
Layers - New Raster Layer.
Floodfill with a colour from your tube.
Apply Chelle's mask [WSL_Mask10].
Add your embellishments of choice.

9. Add your name in a font of choice.
I used ZiptyDo at size 36.
Add the artist copyrights and your taggers mark and you're done!
