Font of choice, I used MA Sexy

~~~*~~~

OK, let's get started!

Open your template>duplicate>close original.
Delete copyright layer.
Re-size to 800 x 800

Since pink is my fav color, I left the template colors
as they were, but you can always colorize
it to match your tube and tastes!

With the eyedropper tool,
choose a color from your template (or tube)
and flood fill layer 2.
Apply Xenofex>constellation

Still on layer 2 > selections
>select all > float>defloat>
copy>paste your tube
selections>invert>delete>select none.

Apply drop shadow and Xero>radiance>default settings
and change the blend mode to luminance.

Add a new raster layer above layer 3.

Add text of choice(I used OH BABY size 12, white)
Apply Mura's Meister>Copies

Select layer 3>float>defloat,
then go back to your text layer
>selections>invert>delete.
Now your text should be only in layer 3.
Apply drop shadow to the text layer if you like.

Select layer 4. Apply DSB Flux>Bubbles
with the following settings 3 times

Select layer 5, your color from step one
should still be your foreground
and select white as your background
Apply Filters unlimited with the settings below
or just flood fill the layer with a gradient.

Apply Penta>dot & cross

Apply Eye Candy>Gradient glow>fat>default settings
to the following layers:
layer 5
layer 6
circle
swirls

Select your mask layer and apply Xenofex>constellation

Copy>paste your tube right below the Oh Baby layer,
delete any portions of the tube
you don't want showing below the template.

If you want you can colorize the frame and word art-
I used Flaming Pear>super blade pro to make mine pink.

Now re-size your tag to 600 X 600.
Add your name,
and your copyright if needed,
save as a PNG and
Oh Baby you're finished!!

I hope you had fun with this tut!
