Flood fill with white.

Open frame4

Use your magic wand to select inside the frame

Select → Modify → Expand, by 5px

Invert the selection

On the paper layer press delete

Open PP10

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 this layer

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0px

Change the blend mode to Soft light, Lower to opacity to about 50%

On the bottom tube

Add a drop shadow

Add the close up to the canvas just below the frame

Resize and reposition to your liking

I flipped mine horizontally

Erase any of the tube outside the frame

Change the blend mode to luminosity

Lower to opacity to 50%

Now add which elements you'd like

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

Crop your tag to get rid of the access space that's not needed

****Most Important****

If you're happy with your result save to your liking and you're done!

Now if you'd like to animate let's continue :)

Go to the SmokeHeart layer

Duplicate it 3 times so you have a total of 4 of them

On the bottom layer of the heart

Filer → Xenofex 2 → Constellation

With the following Settings:

Add this to each of the layers hitting random seed once on each

Got to your animation window and have the delay set to .15 sec

Set to repeat forever

Hide all but the first SmokeHeart Layer

Add a new animation layer

Hide the first SmokeHeart layer and unhide the second

Do this for the last two frames as well

Press play and watch it go :D

If you're happy with your result save as a .gif and you're done!
