Script provided by Dynamic Drive.
Step 1:
Open a new 600 x 600 transparent image and flood fill with white.
Set your Foreground to #F5ECED and your Background to White.
Select your Preset Shapes set to Ellipse - Anti Alias and Create as Vector ticked. Line width: 2.
Draw out the ellipse using my tag for a guide as to size.
Go to Objects - Align - Center in Canvas and then convert to Raster layer.
Select the tube you want to use in the ellipse and go to Edit - Copy.
Select your Magic Wand, Tolerance and Feather set at: 0 and click inside the ellipse.
Go to Edit - Paste and paste your tube as a new layer into the ellipse.
Move into place and when happy with the positioning of the tube click on Selections Invert (to get rid of any excess tube outside of the ellipse) then press Delete.
Selections - Invert again and while still on the tube layer go to Effects - Xero Porcelain filter and apply using the default settings.
Go to Selections - Select None.
If your tube hasn't filled the ellipse, select the ellipse layer and click inside with the Magic Wand.
Go to Effects - Filters Unlimited 2 - Paper Texture - Canvas Coarse.
If you haven't got this filter, you could use any colour to fill in the blank space, or maybe even use the blinds effect - Effects - Texture Effects - Blind.
Experiment is the key.
Deselect after you've filled the space.
Hide the background layer, merge visible and add the following Drop Shadow.
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 80
Blur = 10
Colour = black
Step 2:
Select your Preset Shapes set to Rectangle.
Activate the Background layer and with the same settings as before, draw out the first of the rectangles. See my tag for guidance as to size.
Position to your liking, go to Objects - Align - Horizontal in Canvas and convert to Raster Layer.
Duplicate the rectangle and move below the first one.
Draw out a third rectangle slightly smaller than the others. Position underneath the others, go to Objects - Align - Horizontal in Canvas and convert to Raster Layer.
Once happy with the positioning of the rectangles close off all other layers apart from the rectangles and merge visible.
Select your Magic Wand and click inside each of the rectangles.
Select the Image or Tube you want to go into the rectangles and go to Edit - Copy.
On your canvas go to Edit - Paste as new layer.
Position so the part you want showing is on one side of the rectangles.
Selections - Invert - Delete and then Deselect.
Select the Image or Tube again and mirror. Go to Edit - Copy.
On your canvas go to Edit - Paste as new layer.
Position so the part you want showing is on the other side of the rectangles.
Selections - Invert - Delete and then Deselect.
Merge visible and add the following Drop Shadow.
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 80
Blur = 10
Colour = black
Unhide the other layers.
Step 3:
Now to do the Plasma effect rectangle.
Activate the Background layer and with the same settings as before, draw out a rectangle using my tag as a guide.
Go to Objects - Align - Center in Canvas, convert to Raster layer.
Go to Selections - Select All - Float - Selections Modify - Expand by 2.
Add a new Raster layer and fill with the Metallic Gold 01 gradient.
Deselect and move this layer beneath the white rectangle layer.
Click on the white rectangle layer and Merge Down then add the following Drop Shadow
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 80
Blur = 10
Colour = black
With your magic wand click inside the white area of the rectangle and apply the Filters Unlimited 2 : Render Effect - Plasma.
Go to Selections - Select None.
Step 4:
Select your image you want to use for the long rectangle at the back of the tag and go to Edit - Copy.
Activate your background layer and paste as a new layer onto the canvas.
Resize if needed so that you can see it behind your rectangles but so it isn't too big.
Go to Selections - Select All - Float - Selections Modify - Expand by 2.
Add a new Raster layer and fill with the Metallic Gold 01 gradient.
Deselect and move this layer beneath the image layer and add the following Drop Shadow
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 80
Blur = 10
Colour = black
Duplicate the Image lager and move to the bottom, above the background layer.
Resize this layer to a width of 700 - Bicubic Selected - All layers UNchecked.
Go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur - Radius: 10 then using your Deform tool adjust the size of it, using my tag as a guide.
The gold corner objects were from a Barbara Jensen scrapkit so I cannot supply these,but you could use any accents from a scrapkit to give the same basic effect.
I used the eraser tool on them to get rid of some of the balls, so as it appears as if the corner object is holding down the slat.
Add your name and the artists copyright details and save.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
