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

I hope you enjoy the tutorials that I have created.

Some tips...
I use abbreviations in my tutorials, 
the more common ones are below:
C&P~Copy and Paste
RS~Re-size
DS~Drop Shadow

Supplies:

Tube by Dark Yarrow HERE

Flower Overlays by Sarah (Now FTU) HERE

Filters:

None

Drop Shadow:

Whatever you prefer

Step by Step:

First off lets chose the colors that we will be working with...

I am going to use #787486 (Foreground) and #452e60 (Background)

Raster 1...Apply Background color.

I am going to be using...Stones Water Overlay...C&P as a new layer

RS by 60%...Duplicate the overlay...move Original layer to the Right of

the canvas...Add a Motion Blur with these settings Angle: 50% and Strength: 80%

Duplicate this blurred Layer and Mirror...Merge Down and Blend Mode to Overlay.

On the other copy of the Stones Water Overlay...we are going to use the Eraser Tool

but with a Fuzz Soft Brush Tip (I believe this is a Standard tip that came with my PSP9)

Slide this Overlay layer to the left or right whatever fits your taste...

I am sliding it to the left and going to erase the edge in a round curve.

Blend Mode Multiply

(See my tag for reference)

Add a New Layer...Fill with your Foreground color change Blend mode to Luminance(L)

Slide this layer under the Overlay you used the Eraser on.

Add your preferred Tube where you think it looks best

Change Blend Mode to Luminance(L) and Opacity to 55%

Add a new layer...now I change my palette to a Fore/Back Gradient with

these settings Linear Angle: 147 Repeats: 7...Fill with Gradient

Select all/ Modify/Contract 6/ Delete

For the border DS I used 0/0/75/12/BLACK

Add your name, Copyright info and Watermark

Re-Size your tag if you want to and you are done
