Scrapkit of Choice

I am using a PTU kit called “Pretty In Pink” by Irish Bitch Designs

Additional Filters Needed

Xero – Porcelain

Vanderlee – Unplugged X – Pattern Ofset

You'll also need a heart brush, I can't remember where I got mine I got it awhile ago but there are bunches out there to choose from.

As well as a sparkle brush, I got mine from Obsidian Dawn

~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open Frame1

Add to your canvas

Resize to 60%

Open Frame2

Add to your canvas

Resize to 60%

Rotate the silver frame about 3.43 degrees

Merge these two layers down

Add a drop shadow

Open Paper13

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below the frame we just made

Use your magic wand and select inside the frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Duplicate the paper layer

Filter → VanDerLee → Unplugged-X → Pattern Offset

Change the blend mode to soft light

Add the close up of your tube in between the two paper layers

I flipped mind horizontally

Erase any parts that are outside the frames after you've got it where you want it and like it

Change the blend mode to Luminosity

Lower the opacity to 50%

Open Paper4

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply your layer mask here

Add your full tube to the left side of the frame, again I flipped mine horizontally

Resize and position how you'd like

Once you have that

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

All at default, except blue channel set to 0

Duplicate this layer

On the bottom add a drop shadow

Now add which elements you'd like

I used the following from the bottom up with a drop shadow unless stated:

Pearl Circle1

Duplicate the Pearl Circle, desaturate it and reposition

Ribbon2

Ribbon4

Rose3

Rose

Lips

Box4

Cupcake

Bow2

Bow2

Stone2

Stone2

Stone2

Add some wordart if you'd like

Above that add a new layer

Using a light pink apply the sparkle brush “misty-swirl3” above the elements for just a bit of a sparkle effect

Add another new layer, I put this one above the close up layer but below the second paper layer with the pattern offset on it

I just randomly stamped the little heart out, if you want it to rotate and change colors play with the settings under your brush menu.

For the rotation make sure that Shape Dynamics is checked

I have the size jitter at about 25%

The Angle Jitter at 88%

Again play with these to find what you like

For the Color Changing make sure that Color Dynamics checked

Play with this again to find what you like

I have:

Hue Jitter: 20%

Saturation Jitter: 75%

Brightness Jitter: 83%

Add your name

Image → Trim

Top left pixel color all boxes checked

Resize if you'd like to
