Enjoy my tutorial :)

You must have working knowledge of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 or newer

Okay Ready, set, GO!

Open a new canvas 650 x250

Today we are making a banner, all from scratch, so if you aren't familiar with making banners, follow me step by step.  

Ready ?!?

Here we go....

In your new canvas, flood fill it with pink (#f8d7d2),  

Next go to your Effects, find Texture effect and choose Blinds.

From there choose the width : 47 with Opacity of : 31, and make sure the color is White, and check mark "Light from left/top"  

Then Click OK.  ((and then hide this layer. )) you will see why later.

Next step open a new raster layer, flood fill this layer a darker shade of pink (#e76c6b),

Next open your tube, you want the half tube to sit on the far right like how I have mine, and the medium size tube in the center,  and after you have added your drop shadows to your tubes, merge these layers together, then set the blend mode to SCREEN.  

Next remember the previous layer you have made and hidden, well now you can unhide it.  

Then merge these two layer together, and tada you have a background.

Next step grab you close up tube, the closer to her face the better.

Then Copy and paste her to the far left of the banner.

Next open a new layer, this layer with be your border.  So for this flood fill it first. With a light pink or dark pink if you wish.  

Then push Crtl+A, then go to your selections and look for modify and then look for contract, and make sure it says " number of pixels __"  you enter the number 4, click ok to go back to your layers and then hit your delete key once.  

By now you should have a border.  

You can add drop shadow or, apply a white noise to this border.   

Now for the text, you will want a bold looking font.  any free font site will have it.  

And pick the one you like the best for your Name.

Now that your done with all the steps above it's time to add the artist copyrights of your tube and your license.

And then you are Done.
