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 Rachel Anderson which you must have a license to use you can get one at CDO
*Please note that I purchased my tube from CILM*
Paper and Elements are from a scrapkit called Day in the Meadow by Kristi W, which you can purchase HERE
Mask, If this is yours please let me know so I can give you the appropriate credit
You can get the supplies, which include the mask HERE
 
 
 Open up the mask and a paper of your liking, duplicate the paper and resize it to 600 x 600, then close the original
Masks / New / From Image and select the mask from the dropdown menu
Masks / Delete and click yes to the little popup window and then give this a slight dropshdow of your liking, I used opacity 18
 
Open up the diamonds and resize these by 70% twice
Copy and paste as a new layer and give these the same dropshadow as before
 
Now in your layer pallet highlight your mask layer
Selections / Select All
Selections / Invert and now highlight your diamonds layer while your ants are floating and then hit your delete key
Selections / Select None
 
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible
 
Open up the cloud frame, copy and paste this as a new layer and give this a dropshadow, no need to resize this
Once your happy drag this down towards the bottom of the mask slightly
 
Now open up your tube, copy and paste as a new layer and drag this underneath the cloud frame layer and using your lasso tool cut away any bits of the tube that you can see at the bottom of your frame
Duplicate this tube layer and drag this above the cloud frame layer in your layer pallet
Again using your lasso tube cut away the bottom of your tube, this will make it look like the top part is popping out of the frame
Once your happy, highlight your bottom tube layer and give this a dropshadow of your liking
 
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible
 
Open up the cloud and resize this by 30% and give this a dropshadow, place this at the top right hand side of your cloud frame
Once your happy, duplicate this layer then mirror it and place this at the bottom left of the cloud frame
 
Now open up a ribbon of your choice, I used ribbon1, copy and paste this as a new layer and resize it by 50%, now using your deformation tool rotate this so that it goes over the top of your bottom cloud and the bottom of the cloud frame
See my tag if needed
Once your happy give it a dropshadow
 
Open up one of the acrylic flowers and resize by 50%, give this a dropshadow, then place this over one of the knots on your ribbon, then duplicate this and mirror and then place this duplicated one over the other knot on the ribbon
 
Now open up both the tulips, flower4 and 6, resize one by 40% and one by 45%, then copy and paste of these as new layers, and again using your deformation tool rotate these to the right
Once your happy give them both a dropshadow and then drag these underneath the ribbon frame in your layer pallet and place them just underneath your tube on the cloud frame
If needed see my tag for reference
 
Add a new layer and add your name and copyright
 
Crop your image if needed
 
Now in your layer pallet, cross out your bottom merged layer and the top right hand cloud layer
Layers / Merge / Merge Visible
 
You should have 3 layers, your bottom merged, the cloud and your top merged
 
Open up the sheepborder, resize this by 50%, then copy and paste this as a new layer and rename this S
Place the sheep so that the first one is just going on to the cloud
Duplicate this layer and move the sheep over slightly
 
*Keep duplicating and moving the sheep over until they have gone completley over the cloud, make sure that on the last sheep layer there is a little bit of the sheep on the cloud*
 
Now in your layer pallet highlight your cloud layer, using your selections tool set at rectangle, feather 0, draw a rectangle over the cloud and then click on your cloud, this will make it float without the dropshadow getting any darker
Selections / Invert
 
and now while your ants are floating, select the first sheep layer and hit your delete key, repeat this for all the sheep layers
Once your happy
Selections / Select None
 
Now cross out all your sheep layers
