Open the tube and mask.Minimize them in psp and and from the kit choose a frame and then go to image canvas size 860x860. I know it seem's huge but We can resize it later. On the frame image do shift+D to duplicate the image and then close the original.

With Your magic wand click inside one of the hearts and go to selections modify and expand by 15 and then with your tube go to edit copy and on the frame image go to edit paste as a new layer. Place it in a position over the heart the way You like it then go to selections invert and hit delete on your keyboard. Do the same with the other heart on the other side of the frame. I went to image mirror for My other heart. In Your layer palette right click on the top tube layer and merge down then merge down again so that Your heart frame is now all merged together.

Go layers new raster layer then selections select all. In the kit find a paper that matches Your frame and go to edit copy and then on the frame image go to edit paste into selection and go to layers new mask layer from image and on the pull down choose the mask I supplied or the one Your using and make sure source luminance is marked and invert mask data unchecked. In Your layer palette on the mask layer right click on it and merge group.

Now pull the mask layer below Your frame layer. On the merged frame layer go to image resize by 70 and then on the mask layer go to image resize by 75.

Open the template in psp and Shift+D to duplicate and close out
the original. Image canvas size 600x600 and then delete the
copyright layer and the background layer.With Your eye dropper
tool pick two colors either from the kit's elements or a tube if
Your using on. Either is fine.

In Your layer palette choose the squares layer and go to
selections select all float selections defloat. Layers new raster
layer and flood fill it with a color You chose.A side note here
though I used a texture from My materials palette and then flood
filled the floating squares. I just wanted something a little
different. Please experiment and see what You like. Then I added
some noise by going to Adjust add/remove noise add noise with the
following settings uniform 45 and monochrome checked. Effects 3D
effects drop shadow. I used the following settings vertical and
horizontal 0 opacity 40 blur 5 and color black. Delete Your

layer and flood fill it with a color or gradient of
choice.Selections select none. Effects texture effects weave with

Effects Eye Candy 5 Impact and it give it the default settings I
chose to do it twice and added the same drop shadow. Delete the
original layer.

Do the same as the above with Your Beholder and Beauty's layer's.
When done don't forget to delete the original layers. On separate
layers add Your brushes or else word art in the box. If Your
brushes are bigger You can always click on Your box layer and go
to selections float all selections defloat and then go to invert
and hit the delete key on Your keyboard on the brush layer so that
Your not overlapping or You can also add brushes to the background
under the template. Just play around and I'm sure You'll come up
with something You like.

I didn't realize that this was a normal kit so You will really
have to resize the elements..For instance the bow I used I had to
resize it to 20 percent and it did it this way. I went to image
resize by 10 percent and made sure all layers was unchecked. Then
I used My selection tool and drug it around the end of the bow and
deleted the excess I didn't need. You could leave it on there just
be sure to move the bow under the frame layer. It looks good
either way actually. When I added the heart padlock I resized it
by 10 percent and drug it under the text layer. I did the same
with all the rest of the elements I used and then added My text.
When I cropped My tag I also sharpened it by going to adjust
sharpness sharpen.

If You can't get this kit just follow along with any other kit
that has a frame and flower elements etc. So long as it's pretty.
Tube of choice. I used the art of Barbara Jensen and You need a
license to use her work. You can find her tubes here.


Open up Your tube and whatever frame from the kit and minimize the
tube for now We wont' be using it for a little while. Let's duplicate Your frame by holding
down the shift key on Your keyboard while pressing D at the same time. Then close out the
original. Go to image canvas size 700x700. This way We have some
room to work on the canvas. You can always crop or resize it later
when We are done. With Your magic wand click inside Your frame and
choose a paper from the kit and go to edit copy and then paste a a
new layer over Your frame and then go to selections invert and
press delete on Your keyboard and go to selections select none.
Effects texture effects blinds with these settings width 2 opacity
10 color black light from left/top checked the other unchecked.
Slide Your paper layer under the frame layer in layer palette. Go
to effects 3D effects drop shadow and give that frame a healthy
pretty shadow. I used the following numbers vertical and
horizontal on -1 the opacity 50 blur 10.00.

Open Your tube go to edit copy and paste as a new layer. You might
have to resize and if You do go to image resize by percent and
make sure all layers is unchecked. Add the same -1 drop shadow and
then add vertical and horizontal 2 the second time. This is where
You can get creative You could use a mask behind the frame but I
Myself didn't like how it looked so I didn't use one. You could
use brushes around the frame on another layer and slide it under
Your frame layer even word art would work. I am going to add
elements from the kit now though for Myself.

After adding Your elements or whatever You want on it crop it add
Your name and copyright and Your done. Hope You enjoyed this
tutorial.
