Filters Unlimited Paper Textures(optional)

Onto the tut.............

Open a new image 650x650-you can resize later-flood fill with white,then add paper 6 as a new layer.

Layers>new mask layer>scroll to your chosen mask,hit apply then merge group.

Resize the mask to 85%,all layers unchecked.

Paste in your close up tube now-drag it under the mask circle layer,and use the lasso tool

to remove any parts overhanging the mask.

 Add a resized paper behind the close up tube-i used paper 9.

I added a paper effect to this using Filters Unlimited,if you choose to do this,

i used Canvas fine,on default settings.

Open element 1,and use your lasso tool to take a small section of the flowers,

then click on your textured paper layer,and paste as a new layer.Position so you can see

the flowers behind your close up tube.Duplicate and mirror,and position again.

Open element 33,the circular flowers and resize by 60%.Paste onto your canvas,above the mask layer,

and use your deform tool so the flower circle is just slightly bigger than the mask circle.

Image flip then add a drop shadow-i use 2,2,50 5.Sharpen if needed.

Add your main tube,and mirror it so she`s facing the opposite way to the close up,

position to the left of the circle mask and add a drop shadow.

Paste element 17 as a new layer,resize this by about 30%,and place it at the bottom of the frame.

You can add a few more and place them where you like,just duplicate and resize each one.

Paste the pink ribbon,element 15 as a new layer and resize by 50%,place on the right hand side of the 

mask frame and add a drop shadow.Place one of your little flowers over the middle of the ribbon.

Now add the darker pink ribbon,element 32 as a new layer,and place at the bottom of the frame

in the middle,resize by 40%,and again add a little flower onto the bow.I used a rose that comes with the tube.

This is where you`ll add your name.

Open element 43,resize by 60% and place under your mask frame,then add any other elements

you like from the kit,then add your name onto the bottom bow,i used a script font,size 35,

and used a pink gradient for the fill,and a small pink gradient glow.

Add any word art and copyrights,then close off the white background,merge all layers,

and resize to your liking.

Save as a png and that`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
