This is my own creation and any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Under no uncertain terms are you allowed to make money from anything produced from this tut, this is against my TOU
 
For this tutorial you will need:
A Tube of your choice I am using the awesome artwork of Marco Guaglione which you must have a license to use you can get one at PTE
*Please note that I purchased my tube from MPT*
Papers and Elements are from a scrap kit called In the Closet by Chili Designz, which you can purchase HERE
Mask is by me, which you can download from HERE
 
 
Open up 2 papers of your liking, I chose a white and coloured paper and also the mask
Duplicate both papers, resize them to 600 x 600 and then close down the originals
 
On the White paper
Masks / New / From Image and select the mask from the dropdown menu
Masks / Invert
Masks / Delete and click yes to the little popup window, now you can close the original mask
 
Now still on your white image
Image / Canvas Size and change to 630 x 630, don't worry we will crop later
Selections / Select All
Selections / Float
Selections / Modify / Feather / 20
Add a new raster layer
 
Now using your flood fill tool, change your foreground to pattern and select the coloured paper, then flood fill your floating image 7 times
Selections / Select None
Now drag your coloured layer underneath your white layer in your layer pallet
 
In your layer pallet highlight the white layer and give this a dropshadow of your liking
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible
 
Open up your tube, copy and paste it as a new layer and place it in the middle of the mask, resize if needed then give it a very slight dropshadow
 
Open up the spray then copy and paste this as a new layer, no need to resize this and again give this a slight dropshadow
In your layer pallet drag this underneath your tube layer in your layer pallet, and place this to the left hand side of your image
Once your happy duplicate this and mirror, but move this up slightly
 
Now open up the leaves and branch
Copy and paste the leaves as a new layer and resize until your happy, I left mine quite large
Then rotate 90 degrees to the right and place this on the right hand side of the mask
Once your happy give these a dropshadow and then drag these underneath your tube layer in your layer pallet
 
Now copy and paste the branch as a new layer and again resize until your happy
Place these to the right hand side of your mask image and rotate slightly to the right, I used my deformation tool for this
Then in your layer pallet drag these underneath the spray layer and give these a dropshadow of your liking
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible

Copy and paste the ribbon as a new layer and resize until your happy, then place this along the bottom of your image and give it a dropshadow

Now open up the cala and a ribbon of your choice I used ribbon4
Copy and paste the cala as a new layer, again resize until your happy then rotate 90 degrees to the right and then flip it
Place this at the bottom of your image over the ribbon
Dupliate the cala and drag this underneath the ribbon layer and give it a dropshadow

Highlight the top cala in your layer pallet and using your lasso tool cut away some of the flower that is overlapping the ribbon, this will give the impression that the ribbon is wrapped around it

Open up the flower and bow2
Copy and paste the bow as a new layer and resize until your happy until its quite small, place this at the end of the ribbon to the left
Rotate to your liking, I used the deformation tool for this, then once your happy give it a dropshadow of your choice

Now copy and paste the flower as a new layer and resize until its really small, then place this on top of the knot on the bow and then once your happy give it a dropshadow
 
Add a new raster layer and add your name and copyright
 
Crop your image
 
Save as either a transparent Png or a Jpeg and your done
