PTU "Shake Your Shamrocks" Tutorial

This Tutorial was written by me, any resemblance to another tutorial is completely unintentional.  I am using Photoshop CS5 for this tutorial. Tube Sexy Patty by Elias Chatzoudis Scrap Kit Shake Your Shamrocks by Creative Scraps by Crys  Font FTU font- Kells Template Template 506 by Millie's PSP Madness Mask MPM_Mask22
Lets get started!  Open up your template and resize the largest side to 650.  Bring in your close up and bring down above the Layer 3.  Duplicate and position that above Layer 4.  Hold down ALT as you click between the layer and the close up. Do the same for the  original and Layer 3, so that they are cropped inside the circles.  Duplicate the close up again, and drag so it is positioned above the Layer 5.  Position to your liking, duplicate, flip horizontally, and then position to where there are no empty spaces inside the layer.  Merge with the first layer and then hit ALT on your keyboard as you click between the template  layer and the merged close up.  Now you will want to create a gradient, I made my first one like so: 

With the colors #b4ce2b and #86639d. Select the inside of your Layer 5 of the template with your magic wand  and put your gradient across it.  Now duplicate the merged close up layer.  Filter >Blur > Gaussian Blur...6.  Make that layer black and white and then make it have Screen for the blending mode.  For the bottom layer, Luminosity blending mode.  Now go back down to your Layer 3 of the template and create another gradient  the same way as before but using the colors #f6ea5a and #445f0e. magic wand and follow the steps as before, but don't make the duplicated layer black and white.   Duplicated layer- Screen blending mode Main layer- Soft Light and lower opacity to 65%.  Do the same to Layer 4. 
Now add your tube layer to your liking.  Time to add the elements: 
SYS_Element_5 SYS_Element_8 SYS_Element_9 SYS_Element_11 SYS_Element_26 SYS_Element_30 SYS_Element_31 SYS_Element_32
SYS_Element_33 SYS_Element_38
Add your drop shadows to all layers but your tube like so: 

Use this drop shadow for your tube:

Now add your copyrights and then it's time to add the mask. 

I used the mask I stated above with the SYS_Paper_3. 

Then I smooshed (yes that's a word LOL) it down to fit the canvas... and then duplicated it. 

Now time to add the font! 

I used the font Kells at 60 px. with the color #b6d02f.

Then I made a stroke around it with black at 65% opacity. 

I did a Bevel and Emboss like so: 

And then the drop shadow as I did on the other elements. 

That's it!
