Let's start

Open a new image 650 x 250, add paper4.

Add WAMask, resize to 40%, move it to the left, duplicate it

and move one to the right.

Add Envelope, resize 40%, move it out on the lower left corner.

Add the WordArt, resize 65%, change blend mode to

Luminance (legacy).

Duplicate it 2 times, and add Constellation to all 3 with these

settings (remember to hit the Random seed

button for nr 2 and 3)

Close 2 of the wordart layers .

Add your tube of choice, move it to the left, duplicate it and move

it below the wordart layers, move it to your liking and change

blend mode to Luminance (legacy) (or maybe another blend mode

fits your tube better, play around with it;)

Add Key2, resize 20%, free rotate right by 35 and mirror it,

 move it to the right.

Add the Leaves1, resize 40% and mirror, move it to the right

to your liking. As you can see I've also duplicated it

and moved some to the left behind the tube ;)

Crop the tag now to remove all access.

(Just hit the Merged Opaque button to get the whole tag)

Time to make the frame.

Add a new raster layer on top,

Select All, Selections - Modify - Contract 7.

Selections - Invert , flood fill selection with Black.

Selections - Modify - Contract 1, add a new raster layer,

flood fill it a red from the background paper, I've used  #860001.

Deselect.

Duplicate the black frame 2 times, and add constellations with

these settings to all 3 (remember the random seed button)

On the red frame, duplicate it twice

on all 3 add

Adjust - Add /Remove Noise - Add Noise

Random 70, 72 and 74 (monochrome checked)

Close 2 of each frame.

Add proper © and then we're ready to animate ;)

Copy merged (ctrl+shift+C)

Paste as new animation in Ani Shop

Back in PSP close the 2 frame layers and the wordart layer you've used

and open the next ones.

Copy merged again and paste after current in ani shop.

Do the same to the last set of frames and wordart too.

Now you have 3 frames in ani shop.

open the circlesparks animation, and you'll see it has 15 frames

so we need 15 frames in our banner too.

select all and copy the banner, go to the 3rd frame and paste after

current, then you have 6, go to the 6th and paste after current.

then you have 9, do it 2 more times to get to 15 ;)

Now you have 15 frames, select all and keep frame 1 visible

go to the circlesparks select all and drag it over to the banner,

then you'll see it and can place it where you like.

if you mess up or don't like your placing, just undo (ctrl+Z)

and try it again ;)

That's it :)))

Add all the names you like

I've used Bank gothic bt on mine, same color as the red frame

and with a white glow from alien skin's gradient glow.

(If you're using my glow settings it's the Vaybs Nice White.)

The avatar is made with a new image 150 x 150

copy merged your banner and add it.

make the same frame as on the banner, and add the

proper ©

That was it, think i've covered it all now, if not just drop me

a line ;)
