This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Roman Zaric you must have a license to use this art which you can get from PTE HERE. This tube will be available 5-9-12.

~Fell For You FTU scrapkit by Bella Gypsy Designs which you can get HERE. This kit is a limited time freebie. "Like" the page and get the exclusive before it's gone.

~Select the top tube layer in your tool box. Add Gaussian Blur (Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur, use default settings).

~On that same tube layer change the mode to Overlay (at the top of your Layer Box you will see where it says Mode, click the arrow and select Overlay from the drop down menu).

~Add drop shadow to bottom tube layer.

Ribbon 3
