Bottoms Up!

You will need:

Paint Shop Pro
VM Extravaganza/Transmission
Toadies/What are you?
Mask - Here supplied by Becky
Pattern of choice
Tubes of choice - I'm using the fantastic work of Keith Garvey, who can now be purchased Here
Font of choice

 

Lets start.  Open a blank canvas flood filled with white 500 x 300.  Copy and paste your tubes and arrange to your liking.  Hide your background layer, merge visible.  Unhide your background layer.  Colourise your merged layer to match your patter choice.

 

Activate your background layer, and copy and paste your pattern as a new layer.  Resize if you need to.  Lower the opacity of your merged layer to 65%.  Hide your background layer again and merge visible.

 

Duplicate layer, and on the original apply VM Extravaganza/Transmission default settings.  On the copy, lower the opacity to 75%.  Merge visible again.  Unhide your background.

 

Load the mask provided, invert unchecked.  Merge group.

 

Duplicate layer, and on the original apply Toadies - What are you? default settings.  Apply VM Extravaganza/Transmission to this layer again.  Lower the opacity to 50%.

 

On the duplicated layer apply a drop shadow V,H = 0, Opacity 60, and Blur 10.

 

Decorate with any accents you like.  I'm using doodles.  Add any words and your copyright, and your name.  Save as jpeg.
