Xero Filter-Mistifier, Porcelain and Soft Mood

Font-Jayne Print YOFF 

Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 5

Let's get started

This is a pretty easy one

Open a new image 600 by 250

Copy and paste paper #7 or paper of choice.

I used my pick tool to pull the paper out to the sides.

Or you can select all and paste paper into selections. 

Copy and paste your close up and position in the center.

We are doing this now so it will be easier to know

where to place the closeup behind this one.

I resized my close up to 90%, then duplicate and mirror

and place behind and to the side of your main close up tube.

Once in place, merge these 2 tubes and then

apply the xero filter soft mood and

change the blend mode to overlay or one that you prefer.

Ok now copy and paste your full tube and

duplicate and mirror.

Refer to my tag for placement of this tube,

if using the same one I am.

Move it to where just the body is showing,

apply xero filter  porcelain to these, merge these 2 together.

Copy and paste your full tube again and move close to the edge on one side,

then duplicate and mirror this one,

merge these 2 tubes and apply the xero filter, porcelain and then mistifier.

Copy and paste ribbon #2 and resize to 90%

and

duplicate and then move over and line up with the first one,

 merge these two together. Move below your close up tube.

Copy and paste my country patch and resize to 85% and free rotate to the right 20%.

Copy and paste the ribbon that says support our troops and place on the left side of the patch.

Copy and paste the flag and place on the right side, behind the Close up tube.

I resized the red and blue stars to 75% and placed in different areas.

Add any other elements that you would like.

For the frame, crop tag first, then select all, new raster layer

 and fill with #1d3452 or color of your choice and contract by 3 and delete,

add another new raster layer and fill with #880e07

and contract by 2 and delete, now select none.

Merge all visible and add all your copyrights and url

and your name.

Now for the Avator

Open a new image 150 x 150

Close off your tube on the tag you just made and cope merged the other layers

and paste onto the new image and resize to 75% and position into place.

Go back and open your tube and copy and paste

and resize the tube to 75% also and mirror and move into place, merge visible

and do the frame the same as you did on the other tag.

Add your copyright and license # to this also.

Thanks for giving my tut a try.
