This tutorial was written on February 08 2015. I used Corel X7, but it should work in other versions as well. Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental. Please look at my TOU for more info. The supplies you need: An tube of choice. I used a tube by Kathy Siney called Cherrybaby. You can purchase her art at Digital Art Heaven. A font of choice. I used a font called “Baby Lexi”. Materials used: MuraMeister – Copies Eye Candy 5 – Textures – Marble (Other versions work as well) Eye Candy 6 – Perspective Shadow (Optional) Make a new image 600x250 and flood fill it with white. Add a new raster and flood fill with a colour from the tube. Set background to white, foreground null and activate your rectangle preset shape. Draw out a thin line across the canvas. Center in canvas and convert to raster. Go to Effects – MuraMeister – Copies and change the settings to this: You might have to play with the Gap settings, depending on how thick your white line is. Activate your selection tool, set to rectangle and choose Custom Selection with these numbers: Still on the striped layer, promote Selection to layer. Deselect. Rotate this layer 90 degrees to left or right and move it to the left half of your canvas. Do the same steps for the coloured background. Deselect. Move the promoted background to the left a bit so it's not sticking out. See my tag for reference. Hide the top 2 layers for now. Go to the striped layer. Go to Adjust – Blur – Radial Blur and add these settings: Go to the coloured background, click Effects – Eye Candy 5 - Textures – Marble. You can play around with the settings if you like, but use colours that match your tube. Here are the settings I used: Add a close-up of your tube, mirror it and place it to the far right. Change the layer properties to Soft Light or one of the other options. Add a drop shadow to the close-up
Crop your tag with Merge Opaque. Unhide the top 2 layers and merge the striped layer down to the one below it. The layer name is Promoted Selection 1. Duplicate this layer and rotate the copy 90 degrees to left or right. Move this to the left side and change the layer properties to Soft Light. Add a drop shadow to the original layer. I used 0-0-100-10-Black. Make sure you're on the top layer and add the tube. Add a drop shadow I used Eye Candy Perspective Shadow with the blurry setting. Add a new layer and flood fill with black. Select all, contract by 1, invert and delete. Select none. Add drop shadow 0-0-100-10-Black. Add your name and copyright. Save as jpg and you're done! Thanks for trying my tutorial. Here is another sample, using art by Jen Lambein. Do NOT use her art without permission.
