ANNA LIWANAG - CITY LIFE
This is my own creation, if it manages to resemble something you have made it is very much a coincidence.
This is my first tutorial in a long long time. I welcome any questions or suggestions, so please let me know if you have a problem with any setting or explanation in the text, thank you.
The tube I used is by the fabulous artist Anna Liwanag, you can buy her tubes at CreativeDesignOutlet. Please do NOT use any tubes that you don't have a license for.

I couldn't find them all, so please if you know who created them let me know so I can give credit, thank you.
You can d'load my supplies, which include all the textures HERE.
OK here we go:
Open a new canvas 600x250 or any size you like it doesn't have to be a forum tag.
You can also use any textures you like, and alter any settings, that is the fun and exploration of doing blends... you imagination is limitless.
New layer, flood fill with white.
Open the image named "Fantasy". Resize to 600px wide. Remember to say no to save when you close the image! Copy & paste onto canvas as a new layer, move to where you like, I left it as is.
Open the image "Catseyenebulabyeqdesigns". Resize to 600px wide. Remember to say no to save when you close the image! Copy & paste onto canvas as new layer, move to where you like, I left it as it again.
Change the layer properties to "color", or one of choice.
Open the image "RainTexturebyFearFixation". Resize to 600px wide. Remember to say no to save when you close the image! Copy & paste onto canvas as new layer, move to where you like, I left it as is.
Change the layer properties to "soft light" or one of choice.
Open the image "Light9". Resize to 600px wide. Remember to say no to save when you close the image! Copy & paste onto canvas as new layer, move to where you like, I left it as is.
Change the layer properties to "screen" or one of choice.
Open the image "23sweettasteofbitter33". Resize to 600px wide. Remember to say no to save when you close the image! Copy & paste onto canvas as new layer, move to where you like, I left it as is.
Change the layer properties to "darken" or one of choice.
Open the image "sparkletexturebyitalianaussiehottie". Resize to 600px wide. Remember to say no to save when you close the image! Copy & paste onto canvas as new layer, move to where you like, I left it as is.
Change the layer properties to "difference" or one of choice.
Now it's time to add your tube of choice. Resize to fit and move to the left hand side of the canvas.
Duplicate your tube. On the duplicate tube = Gaussian blue 7
On layer palette, change properties to "hard light", or one you like best.
I used drop shadow = v 0, h 10, opacity 50, blur 12 - black
New layer - flood fill with white. Selections, select all, invert by 3 and hit delete. Select none.
New Layer - flood fill with black. Selections, select all, invert by 1 and hit delete. Select none.
Merge down.
Duplicate layer. On original layer, Adjust, brightness/contrast, B -255, C-100. OK
On same layer, Gaussian blur 7.
Merge down.
Now add your copyright. If you are resizing your tag, make sure to resize before you add your copyright layer.
Type out your name. I used Unfolding Tragedy which you can find here :
https://www.dafont.com/unfolding-tragedy.font
In color palette, foreground black, background white.
Stroke 1 (one) size 55
when happy convert to raster, and duplicate.
Change both layers to overlay in the properties
On the original layer, add a heavy drop shadow.
I used = v 4, h 6, opacity 50, blue 9 - color black.
Or choose one you like.
That all folks.
Love to see what you come up with, so if you're inclined
send me your creation please.
Thank you for trying this blend tut.
