*As this is a full size kit,i resized all papers used to 700x700 pixels*
Click on layer 2.Selections>select all>float>defloat and paste a paper of choice as a new layer.
I used paper 1.Deselect and delete or x out the original layer.
Repeat these steps until you have filled all your template layers with papers of choice.
Add a drop shadow to your layers-i use 2,2 50 5.
On layers 1&6 i added a small gradient glow.
Paste in your tube and add a drop shadow.
Now add your elements,you can use my tag for reference or position them to your liking.
Resize element 32-the purple basket-and place at the bottom left of the canvas,
add a drop shadow and sharpen.
If are using the ball of string tube,resize that and place it in front of the basket.
Resize elemet 5-the purple ribbon-and place behind the string.
Element 50-the flowers on a string-place on top of the ribbon.
Resize one of the purple cushions,and place on top of the basket layer,
use your lasso tool to remove any parts you dont want-i removed the bottom part-
and add a drop shadow and sharpen.
Element 89-the blue paper flower,resize and place on the left hand side of the canvas,
position to your liking,and then choose a string off one of the other elements,or use a ribbon,
