Font of choice.  I'm using Kurt Russell
Three matching tubes of choice.  I'm using ones from Joel Adams packs, which can be bought from

Lets get started.  Place your mask into your mask folder and download the brushes into your brushes folder.  Open a new canvas 500 x 500 flood fill with white.  Add a new layer and flood fill that with a bright colour from your main tube. 

Load the mask, and merge group.  Increase your canvas size to 600 x 600 and then add a drop shadow - Horizontal and Vertical = 1, Opacity 40, Blur 10 to your mask layer.

Using your selection tool, select around one of the squares on the mask.  Paste one of your tubes as a new layer and position to your liking into the selected square.  Selection/Invert and hit delete.  Change the blend mode to Luminance, and lower the opacity to 45.  Repeat this step with the other square and another tube.  Hide your background and merge visible.

Paste your tube main tube as a new layer, position to your liking and add a drop shadow as before, but change the Horizontal to 6.

Add a new layer under your tube, using the colour black, apply your brush once.

Add your copyright and name.  Add the same drop shadow to your name, but change the horizontal to 2.

Resize if you need to, crop and save a jpeg.  You are done.  Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
