With your magic wand.click inside one of the frames,hold down the shift key and click
the other 3 frames,selections modify,and expand by 5.
Paste paper 2 as a new layer,selections invert,edit cut,deselect and drag below the large frame.
Now paste element 38-the blue lights on a stalk- as a new layer,and place under the frame.
Move to the left hand side, and duplicate,then image mirror.
Paste element 19-the blue and yellow flower chain-as a new layer,
and drag below your tube.
Add a drop shadow or use Lokas 3d shadow with these settings
With your lasso tool,go around the yellow flower,edit copy,deselect and edit paste.
Mirror the flower and position where you like on the right hand side of the frame.
Open element 12-the white round mesh net-and paste as a new layer.
Place this behind your tube and add the same small drop shadow as before 1,1 45 3.
With your selection tool,go around the top of the white net,and edit cut,then deselect.
You can use your deform tool to bring it inwards to fit the cluster border if you like.
Open element 46-the blue lights on a string- and paste onto your canvas,under the large frame.
Position to your liking,and use the selection tool to get rid of any parts at the top of the frame.
Apply the same Lokas 3d shadow as before.Again,use your selection tool to select one of
the blue lights,and paste onto the other side of the frame.
You can look at my tag for reference.
Click on the border cluster,and paste element 3-the white mushroom-as a new layer.
Resize by 75%,mirror,and move to the left of your tube,move it below the cluster.
Add the same 3d shadow as earlier.
Now you can add any other elements you like,then add a new layer
and add the words -I don`t go anywhere,without my teddy bear
using Quinta`s Diary font,size 26,colour black.Place it along the top of the frame.
Add a gradient glow,the same colour as the yellow flowers.
Now for your name,use the Apple Butter font,colour black size 24,and place on the border cluster label.
Add a yellow gradient glow.
Finally,click on the white background layer,and add a new layer.
Make a gradient using two colours from your tube,and flood fill the new layer
with the gradient then apply a nice mask.
When you are happy,delete the white background,and merge all layers.
Add your copyrights and resize.
Save as a png and that`s it,you are done!
