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 Irene Shpak which you must have a license to use you can get one at MPT
Paper and Elements are from a scrapkit called Eclipse by Coras Creations, which you can purchase HERE
Mask is by Vix. Its #363 which you can download from HERE

 

 

Open up a paper and the mask, duplicate the paper and resize it to 600 x 600 pixels
Rotate the mask 90 degrees right, make sure you have all layers ticked

 

On the paper
Masks / New / From Image and select the mask from the dropdown menu
Masks / Delete and click yes to the little popup window
Once your happy give this a slight dropshadow

 

Image / Canvas Size / 630 x 610 dont worry we will crop later

 

Open up the frame with the shattered glass, its frame 07
Copy and paste this as a new layer, resize it by 80% and then give it the same dropshadow as before

 

Open up your tube and copy and paste it as a new layer, resize if needed, I resized mine by 80%
I also colourized mine to black and white, with the hue and saturation set to 0, that is entirely up to you
Once your happy give this a nice healthy dropshadow and then drag this underneath the frame layer in your layer pallet and place to the right hand side

 

Open up the moon and raven
Copy and paste the moon as a new layer and resize until your happy, I resized mine by 60%, then give this a slight dropshadow and drag this underneath your tube layer in your layer pallet and place this at the top left hand corner

 

Now on the raven, mirror this and resize until your happy, then copy and paste this as a new layer and place on top of the moon, give this a nice dropshadow and then in your layer pallet change the opacity of this layer to overlay

 

Layers / Merge / Merge Visible

 

Now open up the rose, crystal heart and a curly ribbon, I used the ribbon02
Copy and paste the rbibbon as a new layer, this doesnt need resizing but it does need rotating slightly so that its inline with the top of the frame, I used the deformation tool for this
Once your happy, copy and paste the rose, rotate so that it lines up with the frame too, and then place this over the top of the ribbon

Duplicate this and drag this underneath the ribbon layer
In your layer pallet highlight the top rose layer and using your lasso tool, cut away a couple of parts of the rose that overlays over the top of the ribbon

 

Again once your happy, highlight the bottom rose layer in your layer pallet and give this a nice healthy dropshadow of your liking

 

Now copy and paste the heart as a new layer and resize it by 40% and place this dangling from the ribbon somewhere, I placed mine at the left hand side, then give it a dropshadow

 

Layers / Merge / Merge Visible

 

Add a new raster layer and then add a phrase or some wording over the top and give this a dropshadow

 

Add another new raster layer and add your name and copyright

 

Crop your image

 

Save as either a transparent Png or a Jpeg and your done
