***What you'll need***
Program of Choice.
I am using Photoshop CS5

But, if you know your tools you can use any program of choice

Tube of choice.
I am using the artwork of Keith Garvey

You must purchase a license to use his tubes and can do so HERE

I bought this one when PTE was still open

Scrapkit of Choice

I am using “True Color: Teal” by Pimp'd Designz

Mask of Choice

I am using Mask141 by Weescotslass

Additonal Filters needed

VanDerLee - Unplugged-X – Pattern Offset

I also used a small heart brush for the tiny little scattered hearts

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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open frame-02

Add to your canvas

Resize down to 70%

Add a drop shadow

Open pp-03

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below the frame

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame and a few of the small ones around the edge but, not all of them

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5

Invert the selection and on the paper layer press delete

Open pp-09

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas just above the white background layer

Apply the layer mask here

Add the tube to the canvas

Resize and reposition to your liking

Erase any of the tube that's outside the frame

Duplicate this layer

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to soft light

Add a drop shadow to the bottom tube layer

Add your tube to your canvas below the frame

Resize and reposition to your liking

Erase any that's outside the frame

Change the blend modes to luminosity

Lower the opacity of both of them to 50%

I did this two more times, just repositioning and resizing the tube each time

Duplicate the paper background layer

Filer → VanDerLee → Unplugged-X – Pattern Offset

Bring above the three tubes we added behind the main tube

Change the blend mode to soft light

Now add which elements you'd like

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

mesh-01 (no drop shadow)

heart-02

heart-01

button-01

button-01

flower-02

flower-01

Ribbon-02

ribbon-02

diamonds (I only used 1 diamond out of this) – Duplicate 4x so there are 5 total, resize and reposition around your tag

Add a new layer just above the mask layer and add a few of the tiny heart brush scattered about

Add your name

Image → Trim

Top left pixel color all boxes checked

Resize if you'd like to
