Welcome to Crazed Creations by Crystal Tutorials!
I have been hunting down all of my tutorials for a few years now,
and finally I was able to locate them just the other day.
Some things to know about these tutorials... 
Most of them are missing links to supplies, whether it is 
because an artist or designer has retired, tagger's blog has 
been deleted etc. In this case, please treat the tutorial
as inspiration. As I update each tutorial, I will slowly re-release them.
ALL Tutorials before 2024 are AI FREE, meaning no AI was used.
and all newer tutorials will be labelled accordingly.

Any and all Tutorials posted within this site
are of my own creation.
Any similarities to any other is purely coincidental.
 DO NOT CLAIM AS YOUR OWN!
You are allowed to use them as challenges within your forum 
by linking back to this site.
I hope you enjoy the tutorials that I have created.
Please feel free to leave comments and or suggestions!!!

the more common ones are below:
C&P~Copy and Paste
RS~Re-size
DS~Drop Shadow

Template:
**Open template and Duplicate
Close original and delete Credit layer
**Close out all layers except the background layer
(I tend to work from the bottom to the top)
*Main Background layer...MW and flood fill with a color to fit your
tube...i am using #560085
*Mask...Add a new layer...MW and C&P into the selection
Now instead of using as a typical mask I like to use as an overlay
by playing with the different blend modes...I am using Blend Mode on Burn
and lowered the Opacity to 30%
*Background Squares layer...Change the Blend Mode to Overlay
*Tube...C&P as a new layer...RS 65% 2 xs Duplicate and move a
copy to each side of the canvas...Merge and Change the Opacity to 60%

Invert/Delete...Change the Blend mode to Luminance (L)...
Lower the Opacity to 50%
*Foreground layer...MW and Flood Fill with black...Add a portion of you tube...
Duplicate 2 xs to have 3 copies...Stagger these copies across the layer...
Invert/Delete each copy...Change the blend mode on each copy to Luminance (L)
and the Opacity starting from 30, then 60 and on the last tube copy at 90%
Black Lines layer...Select all/Float/Defloat and flood fill with a color to fit your
tube...i am using #560085...Add noise if you want
*Tube...C&P as a new layer...RS by 65%
Border layer...Select all/Float/Defloat and flood fill with a color to fit your
