Noëlla's Daydream Tutorial

Materials needed:

Choose a light color from the tube as foreground

and a dark color as background.

Open a new canvas 1024x450 pixels.

Fill it with the light color.

Activate the Airbrush tool with these settings:

Find a nice bruch and click once on the left

of the canvas with the dark color.

Open your tube.

Edit--> Copy, close the original.

Edit--> Paste as New Layer onto the canvas.

Shift it to the left over the brush.

Go to Selection Tools--> Free Hand,

with these settings:

Draw a shape like this on the canvas:

Go to Layers-->New Raster Layer - fill with the light color.

Go to Layers-->New Raster Layer.

Fill with the light color.

Go to Effects--> 3 Effects--> Cutout,

with these settings:

Go to Layers--> New Raster Layer.

Go to Effects--> 3D Effects--> Cutout,

but this time with V & H -3.

Go to your Layers Palette and X-out layers 1,2, and 3.

Go to Layers--> Merge--> Merge Visible.

Deselect(Ctrl+D)

Make layer 1,2, and 3 visible again.

Highlight the Merged Layer in the Layer Palette.

Duplicate this layer in your Layers Palette.

Shift this layer a little bit down on the canvas to form a

border.

Duplicate this layer and shift the duplicate down again.

Repeat this as many times as you prefer.

Make sure it forms a pattern.

That is the most important.

My Layer Palette looks like this:

X-out raster layers 1 and 2, and merge all the others Visible.

Make raster 1 and 2 visible again, and highlight

(activate)raster layer 2.

Go to Layers--> New Raster Layer-->

Fill with the light color.

Go to Effects-->3D Effects--> Cutout,

with the same settings as before, but with

Horizontal and Vertical back on 3.

Go to Layers-->Merge-->Merge All

Activate the Text tool and choose

the "Aachen Vertical" font,

with these settings:

Type your text and rotate it to fit diagonally to the border.

Right-click on the Vector layer in the Layers Palette and

convert it to a raster layer.

Go to Effects-->3D Effects--> Drop Shadow,

with these settings:

Repeat it once, but check the "Shadow on new layer"-option.

Go to Effects-->Distortion Effects--> Wind,

with these settings:

Go to your Layers Palette and duplicate the

"raster 2 shadow 1"- layer.

Change the opacity of this copy-layer to 6%,

and change the Blende Mode to Dissolve.

Activate the Cat-tube.

Copy and paste it onto the canvas.

Change the opacity of this layer to 40%

and the Blende Mode to Multiply.

Add your name or watermark

on a new raster layer,

and merge all layers.

You're done!

Enjoy!
