Ok lets start
Open up a new image 600 x 250 transparent
using your eye dropper tool, get 2 colors from your tube
i used the purple in her sweater
using the darker color, flood fill your canvas with that color
texture effects weave with these settings
gap size 2

Opacity 15
weave color black
gap color your lighter color
check box fill gaps
click ok
with white as your foreground and the light color as your background, get out your rectangle tool, set
on square, all settings default, draw out a square in the left side of tag
magic wand, click inside the square, c&p your tube edit paste as new layer, selections invert hit
delete. i put her face in the first square, then her middle in the second, and her legs in the last
.
so draw out 2 more squares and the same but then different parts of her body go into the other
squares. use soft light for the squares. add DS 2 2 68 7 is what i used.
when you are done with the squares, then add the whole tube but image mirror, add same DS. resize the tube a bit to fit
now we add our text
get out your text tool and choose a bold font. ( i used Big apple. free font)
i used white for background and black for foreground size 48 and stroke width 1 type out your text ( i typed weather) arrange where you want and when happy with it,
convert to raster layer, add DS
get a script font (i used toots extended) type out your text, i typed Sweater and kind of angled it ( see my tag for reference)
when happy convert to raster layer, add DS.
top layer new raster layer, select all flood fill with white, selections modify contract by 4 hit delete on
keyboard. select none. add DS (1 -1 50 5) add a thin white gradient glow to frame
you can add anything you want to the frame, noise , filters, etc. make it your own
for my name i used Angry blue. its a free font. i had black for background and null for foreground.
