***********************

with all your files ready, let's get started.

open a new image with transparent background at 750px by 650px.

open element (17) from the kit.

copy and paste (C/P) it as a new layer at 100%.

don't move it.

now open frame (13) from the kit and resize by 80%.

C/P it as a new layer above element (17).

open paper11 from the kit.

C/P it as a new layer below the frame.

use your magic wand tool to select inside the frame and expand by 10.

add a new raster layer below the frame, above paper11.

open element (12) from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

now invert selection and hit delete on the paper11.

do not add drop shadows yet.

select none.

now open the tube and resize by 55%.

C/P it as a new layer above the frame layer.

pull it to the left side of the frame and add a drop shadow.

duplicate the tube and pull the duplicate below the frame layer.

now using your rectangle selection tool, make the following selection:

*CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW*

hit delete on the bottom tube layer.

invert selection and hit delete on the top tube layer.

select none.

now open frame (8) from the kit.

C/P it as a new layer above the top tube layer at 100%.

pull it to the right side of the frame.

now use your magic wand tool to select inside the frame (8).

expand selection by 10.

add a new raster layer below the frame.

open paper7 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now on the bottom layer, empty raster layer, select all.

under image > crop to selection.

this gets rid of the paper outside the visible canvas area.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.

invert selection and crop to selection.

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
