***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 Zlata_M

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

Scrapkit of Choice

I am using “Funny Valentine” by Candy's Treats

You can find this HERE

Mask of Choice

I am using Mask84 by Weescotslass Creations

You'll also need a heart shape, I used a brush or you can use the heart preset shape that just comes with the program

Additional Filters Needed

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

Start a new canvas

600px by 600px

Flood fill with white.

Open Bracket

Add to your canvas

Resize down by 80%

Rotate -25 degrees

Add a drop shadow

Duplicate this layer

Flip Horizontal, Flip Vertical

Arrange a bit apart sort of like my sample tag

Open P7

Resize to 600px by 600px

Add to your canvas below the two brackets

Add a new layer and either draw out, stamp or add the heart you're going to be using

Drag below the paper layer

Hold down your alt key and on the layer pallette move your mouse between the two layers until the cursor changes into the two intersecting circles and click once

Move around and resize the heart as you'd like to

I also added a bevel and outer glow

Add a Drop shadow

Open P3

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

Duplicate

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to soft light

Lower the opacity to about 50%

On the bottom tube

Add a drop shadow

Add the tube once more

Just above the pink paper we used for the heart we made

I flipped mine horizontally

I made the clipping mask as I did before (with the heart and paper layers)

Change the blend mode to luminosity

Lower the opacity to 30%

Duplicate the paper layer (you may need to readd the clipping mask)
Filter → VanDerLee → Un-plugged-X → Pattern Offset

Change the blend mode to soft light

In a nice cursive font type out the letters ily in white

Add a bevel, slight inner glow, outer glow and drop shadow

Change Rotate to match the brackets

Change the blend mode to soft light

Now add which elements you'd like

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