Click on the Raster2 layer, go to your material properties, foreground with a colour of your choice, I used #e26c94 and background to #000000, click on foreground, change it to gradient with the settings of Angle 36 and Repeats 1. Select all, float, defloat then add a new raster layer and flood it with the gradient. Select None, go to Effects - Textures Effect - Blinds and use the settings of Width - 2, Opacity - 20, Colour - black and both boxes checked.
Click on the Raster2 layer again, select all, float, defloat and add a new raster layer then flood fill it with #e26c94. Go to Effects - Xero Fritillary with these settings shown below. Still on this layer, select your freehand tool and draw it around the first half of the circle then delete it. There's an example of the selection shown below. Keep it selected, Selections - Invert then click on your gradient circle layer and delete it. Keep it selected, open your tube then copy & paste as a new layer, delete it and go to Effects - Xero - Radiance and use the default settings then change it to Lumiance (L) then lower it to 40 opacity.
Go to your text tool, I used FFF Urban font, size 8 and Anti-alias - off. Type in these words 'You Drive Me Crazy', Object - Align - Centre in Canvas and convert to raster layer. Go to Effects - Mura Misters Copies, use Tiling and change the Gap to 2. Click on Raster2 layer, select all, float, defloat, invert and delete the text layer. Select None, duplicate it and add a new layer, flood fill it with black and back on raster2 layer, select all, float, defloat, invert and delete the black text layer. On Gradient Layer, select all, float, defloat then delete the black text layer and Selections - Invert, delete the pink text layer. On pink text layer and change it to soft light.
Click the top text layer, go to Preset Shape Tool and select the Ellipse shape, width - 4 and foreground with the same colour as we used with the gradient. I used #e26c94 on mine, draw it around the circle, stretch it so it could fit the circle perfectly. Convert it to new raster layer, add noise with the settings of Uniform - 25% & Monochrome checked, go to Effects - Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow and use these settings shown belown, width - 3.00, Soft corners - 25 and Overall Opacity 100.Add dropshadow with the settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 40 and Blur - 10.00.
Delete the Raster4, Raster5, Raster6 and Raster7 layers. Click on Vector1 layer, go to Adjust - Brightness & Contrast and use the settings of Brightness -255 and Contrast 0. Apply Eye Candy 4000's Gradient Glow and use the fat settings as we did before but click on the fat so it'll set back to white. Apply with dropshadow with these settings of V & H - 1, Opacity 40 and Blur 4.00.
Click on Raster17 layer, grab your magic tool and click inside it, flood fill it with your colour of choice and I used #e26c94 on mine. Apply the noise with the same settings as before and apply with Gradient Glow as we did with the circle frame before. Apply with the same dropshadow settings as before. Repeat this again with Raster16 & Raster15 Layers.
Click on Vector 3 layer, grab your magic tool and click inside it, flood fill it with your colour of choice (I used #e26c94) and apply Xero - Fritillary with the same settings as we did earlier. Keep it selected, Selections - Invert, copy & paste the tube as a new layer then hit delete. Select None, duplicate it and on the duplicated tube layer apply with Xero - Radiance with the default settings and change it to Lumiance (L). Apply the same drop shadow to the original tube layer. Apply the same gradient glow to the fritillary square layer and apply dropshadow. Repeat this with Vector4 and Vector5 Layers.
Click on Vector2 (wordart) layer, add a new layer and flood fill it with #e26c94 or colour of your choice then click on Vector2 layer, select all, float, defloat, invert and on your flood fill layer then delete it. Apply with noise then gradient glow with the same settings as we did with the circle frame earlier. Delete the original layers. I resized mine to 103% to make it bigger to make it to show outside the circle frame.
On the last layer which is a blank layer, flood fill it with #e26c94 or colour of your choice, apply VixMask_381 and delete the mask layer, merge groups and rotate it at 90% Left. Resize it at 75% Smartsize, move it to the right and duplicate it then mirror it.
Open your tube, copy & paste as a new layer. Duplicate it, on the duplicated tube layer and go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur 3.00 and change it to Soft Light blend mode. On the original tube layer and apply with dropshadow with these settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 40 and Blur - 10.00. Add your text, I used Al Sandra font size 100 and anti-alias - smooth then apply with gradient glow and apply with dropshadow but lower the Blur to 4.00. Rotate it at 15.00 Left.Resize and crop it, save it as .jpeg or .png image.
