The special effects we are gonna use on this tutorial is add/remove noise and drop shawdow.

Now let's begin our tutorial today...
Open your Template in Paint Pro Shop.
Delete the artist information.
Highlight the rectangle,select all,float and then defloat.
Pick a paper from your scrapkit,copy and paste then invert and delete.(I picked paper10)
Merge down and then we are going to add some noise to it.  We are using the settings as listed.. Random checked,45%, Monochrome checked.
We are then going to select the thin rectangle, select all,float and defloat and then we are going to pick another paper,invert delete,then merge down. ( I used paper 8).
You are then gonna add the noise again with the same settings as above.

We are now going to do the circles.
Select your large circle right and do the select all,float and defloat. Pick a paper that will compliment your tube.  Mine will be paper 6, then we will do the invert and then delete,merge down then select none.
Do the same to your large circle left that you did as above.

Now we are gonna do squares 1 and 2.
Click on square 1, select all, float and defloat and pick a paper from the kit.(I am using paper4).
Then paste as a new layer,invert,delete and then select none and merge down.
You will do the same to square 2 as you did with square1.

Now it is time to do the circle back which we are going to do just like the others.  I picked paper 5.
Remember after you paste as a new layer,invert and delete you must merge down.
Your gonna use the same paper for the circle that you did for the circle back.

Now we are going to do the other squares and Pick another paper (which I am gonna use paper 1 this time), and do the same thing as we did the others.
Make sure you use the same thing for the other squares so it matches.
Pick another paper for the center square, I am picking this time paper 10.

Now it is time to do the last circles, we are going to do the same as above, picking paper 2 this time, but keep selected cause this is where we are going to put our tube in.  You will copy and paste your tube and then hit delete but with the other circles you will have to duplicate your tube and place them so it looks nice and neat. Then merge down the tubes, and then merge down the tubes to go into the circles.
Now with the wordart we are gonna select all,float and delfloat and pick a paper you have not used and paste as a new layer, once you have done the inverting and merging you can add some noise of choice.

Now that we are done with the template part, we are gonna add the text.
Select the text ALS Script and put in your text, making it fit right above the bottom of your wordart. I did size 48, move to the top and then dropshawdow of your choice, now make sure you can see your text by doing some colors from your tube.
Now your gonna add your copyright information, remember license number if your using a PTU artist, merge all, save and your done.
