Okay, let’s get started!

*Open a canvas 600 x600 flood fill white. I like to have this layer so I can see my creation better as I work on it.  We will delete this later as well as well as resize.
*Paste Element_33 as a new layer, go to effects, texture, Mosaic Glass with these settings:

Average, Aperture 5, move it slightly down.  Return to the upper layer.
*Paste Element_15 (Heart With Fangs) as a new layer, use my tag for reference. Follow the same directions as above for drop shadow, then return to your top layer.
*I have included this overlay if you are not comfortable using the change to target tool.  I would encourage you to try it before using mine.  How I did it was I put the target color to #00000 and carefully colored the heart portion of the element, it’s really easy but does take about 10 mins to do so.  If you do it on your own simply select my words and put on the desired location.

We will be using:
Tube NG0006
Word Art provided by me.
Photobucket
frame 2 @ 23%
paper9
box
scatter Hearts 15%
scroll 2 15%
floral deco 10%

**After you use each element close it so you have a clean workspace.

Okay, let’s get started!

*Open a canvas 600 x600 flood fill white. I like to have the white so I can see my creation better as I work on it.  We will delete this later as well as resize.
*Copy your
frame 2 and paste as a new layer, resize 23%.
*With your selection tool, activate the inner part of the frame, modify > expand 3, create new layer, paste
p9 into selection, select none, move down one layer under the frame.
*Using your “Change to Target” tool change the color of the paper to #fe10b7
Photobucket
*Copy
box and paste as a new layer, resize 10% move to lower right of the frame, please see my tag for reference.
*Paste your tube as a new layer, select the left portion including her face, hair and hand, float, go to the frame layer hit delete, select none.
Photobucket
*Go to the pink paper layer, paste scattered hearts as a new layer, resize 15% position to desired location, copy and paste into selection where desired using my tag for reference, I did it more than 3 times.
*Go to your bottom white layer and add
beads as a new layer, resize 15%, position on the upper left, copy, paste beads as a new selection on same layer put on the lower left, select none.
*Return to the white layer, paste
scroll 2 as a new layer, resize 15% position on the lower left of frame please see my tag as a reference.
*Go to your top layer, copy floral deco paste as a new layer, resize 10% position it on the pink flower on the lower right.
*Paste the enclosed word art as a new layer on the right side of the frame.
*If you would like to do your copyright, url, and license number like I did here’s what you need to do.
*Make a round shape vector the same size as the pink paper.  Move it away to the left slightly.  Create a new layer, then activate your font, when it shows the “circle” type your © information, put spaces as needed to get it where you want it, convert to raster layer.  Create a new layer, and repeat steps above for the url, repeat again for your license number.  
**If you don’t do your credits on the vector then add more hearts to fill the space.

 *Make sure everything is where you like it, check for any stray pixels and remove them, then delete the bottom white layer, and merge visible, select all, float, crop to selection, and resize to 80%. 

*Add names, using your P22 Imperial, using pink we used for the target color and black.
*Save as a PNG, you are done, YAY
