PI Version: 10

Featured tools: Text Tool, Pick Tool
Additional filters: MuRa's  Seamless and FM Tile Tools  
Additional files: Tube - You can choose any tube you want, but if you want to use the same tubes as I did, you can download them from here. You will also need a special gold fill (it's inside the zip file), and there's also the object I used inside the zip file.

DESCRIPTION: Make a stylish Sig Tag with PI and different filters.

 

Remember to save often!

 

Open a New Image: White canvas and 500x300 Pixels. 
Edit/Fill/Gradient (white arrow)/Magic Gradient (white hand) and choose Mode: 10 (1). 
Click the Edit button (red arrow), and choose the Palette 112 (2).
Click OK.

Go to Photo/Blur/Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 20 (red arrow).

Effect/MuRa's Seamless/Shift at Random, and use this settings:
87/163/5/151.
Click OK.
Effect/FM Tile Tools/Blend Emboss, and use the default settings.

Open the object you've downloaded, and store it (if you want to use it another time) in your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand). I've stored mine under My Library (red arrow), so I just had to double-click it (1), to get it onto my background image.
If you have the object on your working space, and not stored inside the EP, copy it (Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V) on our back- ground image.
Right click the object now (on the back- ground image)/Ungroup. Activate the white rectangle, go to Edit/Fill/Gradient and fill it with the same Magic Gradient as before. 
Go to Photo/Blur/Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 20.
Deactivate the rectangle (return key).

Activate the two borders (red arrows), go to Edit/Fill/Image (white arrow)/File, and find (white hand) the gold fill, you've down- loaded and unzipped.
Deactivate.

Open the tube01 (1) and copy it (Ctrl+C). Activate our main picture (2), and paste (Ctrl+V) the tube on it. Right click the tube/ Properties/Position&Size (white hand)/ Position:
Left: 294 (red arrow)
Top: 40 (white arrow)
Click OK and close the tube.

Open the tube02, copy and past on our main picture as we did with the other tube. 
Right click the tube/Properties/Position &  Size/Position: Left: 13/Top: 53.
Close the tube.

Now your picture should look like my screen- shot to the left. 
Keep the tube02 activated ... as you can see that I did, ... choose the Pick Tool (white hand)/Arrange, and Send to Back (white arrow).
Keep the tube activated/right click/ Duplicate, and use one more time the Pick Tool/Arrange/Send to Back command.

Open the Layer Manager (white hand), and yours should look like mine. Activate the last tube (red arrow), and go to Edit/Fill/ Gradient and fill it with the same Magic Gradient as before. Now the lines from the background underneath the tube won't shine through as much as before.
This step is optional ... I liked the look after this step better for my taggie, but it's always a kind of taste - and not to forget ... it also depends on the tube you use, and on the background fill.

Add your name, or some text, Merge All.  





And that's how the finished taggie, made  after this tutorial looks like. :)) 





Another try after the same tutorial. :)) 
 

That's it! A stylish Sig Tag ... made with PI and different filters. HAVE FUN!!!
