Mura Meister Filter-Copies

Font is Nashville
Font for name is  PR8Charade

Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 5

Let's get started

Add your drop shadow as you go along.

Open a 600 x 250 new image and resize paper #7 to 20%

and paste onto your new image.

Go to Adjust, blur, motion blur first at Angle 45% and strength 100%,

then radial blur, on Spin, Elliptical checked,

Strength 50% and all else at 0, except protect center is at 10%.

Change the opacity to around 70% or what you prefer.

Copy your smaller tube and use the filter-Mura Meister, copies, 

wallpaper at default setting, change the blend mode to Soft Light.

Copy your smaller tube again and place to the left of the tag,

change blend mode to overlay.

Then duplicate that and mirror and place on the right side.

Duplicate this one and move toward the center a bit.

You might have to adjust it some once you add your

closeup tube.

Now paste your close up tube and position it off center a bit.

Adjust your smaller tube now if needed.

Close off your Close up tube and merge all the other

layers visible.

Now take your selection tool and draw a rectangle across

your tag.

Add a new raster layer and fill with #eb589c, change the blend mode to soft light.

Go to effects,edge effects and enhance.

Then effects, blinds at 3, 25 and

both boxes checked, and color white, edge effects and

enhance again.

Type out the wording you would like, I said Cowgirls Rule.

Take your pen tool with the line set on diamond setting

and the width at 3, hold your shift key down to

draw a straight line above and below your rectangle.

Draw another line toward the top of your tag. Convert your lines to raster layer.

Be sure to open your Close up that was closed off before.

If happy with everything, merge your layers visible.

To add the frame, select all, add a new raster layer,

fill with a color of choice, I used  #eb589c, contract by 5 and delete.

Add a new layer and fill with white, contract by 1 and delete, now select none.

Then add the blinds effect to the pink color, first with both boxes checked,

then uncheck the top box, and apply again.

I added a light gradient glow to the white frame part (optional).

If happy with everything, merge all visible now and add your Copyright and name.

Now for the Avator

Open a 150 x 150

Copy and paste your tag from the signature and resize to

75%, position into place, merge visible.

Do the frame the same as on the signature tag.

Select all, new layer, fill with the pink, hit delete on keyboard, then another new layer and apply the white and

delete again. Add the blind effects also.

Add your copyright to this also and name or initial.

All done now, hope you have enjoyed doing

my tut.

Thanks for giving them a try.
