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

with all the files open, let's get started.

open my template and delete my copyright info.

add a new raster layer above the background layer and select all.

open paper6 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

apply the mask with the following settings:

CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW

now right click on the mask layer to merge the mask group.

resize the mask layer by 90%.

now the following steps are simple.

we will just be pasting papers onto new layers into selections.

with the Circle Outline 1 template layer, select all/float/defloat.

add a new raster layer above it.

open paper4 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the Circle Outline 1 template layer.

repeat these steps with the following papers and template layers.

Circle Outline 2 and paper5

Circle Outline 3 and paper9

Circle and paper5

Hearts and paper2

Square 1 and paper8

Square 2 and paper6

now open frame1 from the kit and resize by 70%.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer on the very top.

now open the frame3 from the kit.

C/P as a new layer above the frame3 layer.

now open your tube and resize accordingly.

I didn't resize mine.

C/P it as a new layer above the frame3 layer.

position the tube in the center of the frame1.

add a drop shadow.

now duplicate the tube.

use your rectangle selection tool to make the following selection:

CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW

hit delete on the top tube layer.

invert your selection and hit delete on the bottom tube layer.

select none.

now drag the bottom tube layer down the layer palette,

so it sits below the frame1 layer and above the paper5 circle layer.

now use your magic wand tool to select the area OUTSIDE the paper6/square 2 layer.

hit delete on the bottom tube layer.

select none.

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! =)
