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

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.
