Scrap kit of choice. I am using Emo Funk by Ditsy Designs.

Mask: Vix Big Mask 5

Plugins: Eye Candy 4000-Gradient Glow

Just remember that my choices of papers and elements is just a suggestion, change it up and make it yours! You don't have to follow mine exactly.

Let's get started!

Add your drop shadow to the elements throughout as you want to add it. I used 1, 1, 50, 5 on mine unless otherwise noted.

Open a new canvas 750 x 750, white background

Open frame 4, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 85%. Click inside with your magic wand tool, selections, modify, expand by 3. Open paper 5, copy and paste as a new layer, drag below your frame. Selection, invert, make sure you are still on the paper layer, click delete on your keyboard and leave selected.

Open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize if needed. If you are using the same tube as me, I resized by 45%. Duplicate your tube, hide the top layer, drag the bottom one below your frame. Take your eraser tool and erase the bits you don't want showing outside the frame. Add your drop shadow to this bottom tube, and deselect.

Unhide the top tube layer and erase the bits hanging out of the frame that you don't want showing. You don't have to be super careful, because you'll have the tube below showing.

Open frame 3, copy and paste as a new layer, resize by 75%. Fill it like you did with the frame above, using paper 6. Merge the frame and paper layers together, duplicate, resize by 65%. Put the larger one on the upper left, the smaller one on the middle to lower right. Make sure they are dragged down below the large frame and papers.

Do the same with frame 1, using paper 3. Resize the frame by 50%, merge together, duplicate and resize by 65%. Arrange the larger one on the bottom , to the left of the purple one. Arrange the smaller one up around the top. (See my tag for reference).

Do the same with frame 2 using paper 8.  Resize the frame by 45%, duplicate and resize the duplicate by 85%. Arrange the larger one on the top right, the smaller on the bottom left (see tag for reference)

Now, after you get them all arranged, you may find you have an empty space somewhere. If that is the case, just duplicate and resize on of your frames and arrange it into the empty spot, or just leave it empty if you like how it looks.

Now it's time to add elements. Use whichever ones you like. I used the following, and if I resized, I put that amount next to the name of the element.

Emo Heart 3, 45%

Sparkle Hearts 3, 30%, 

gradient glow width 3, soft corners 25, opacity 100

 white

Emo Bunny 3, 45%

Sad Teddy 3, 28%

Copy and paste paper 4, drag it down to just above the white background.

Take your crop tool and crop your canvas so that it's the same size as the paper.

Open your mask, go to Layers, New Mask Layer, From Image. 

Find your mask in the drop down box, click ok.

Go to your layer palette, delete the mask, click yes.

Merge group. You may want to resize the mask a little.

Mafia Girl

For this tutorial you will need the following:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using PSP X, you should be able to use any version.

Tube of choice, I am using the artwork of Ismael Rac which you need a license to use.

Now, take the eraser tool and erase the parts that are hanging outside the frame that you don't want showing. (I just did the legs, because I want her head and arm outside the frame.) Deselect. Add the drop shadow to this tube, NOT to the top one.

Now go unhide the top tube layer, and erase the parts that hang over the frame where you don't want them. Try to get just right around the frame, BUT because we have the tube under the frame to show through, you don't have to be super careful.

Change the canvas size to 750 x 600 and flood fill the rest of the background layer in with white.

Make big circle 3 layer active, click inside it with your magic wand. Open paper 7, copy and paste as a new layer, selections, invert, make sure you are on the paper layer, click delete on your keyboard, deselect. Delete the original circle layer. (after this I will not tell you to delete the original layer -the actual template layer- just go ahead and do this each time you fill a layer with a paper) 

Do the same with big circle 1, using the same paper as you did above.

Do the same for big circle 2, using paper 6.

Fill double big rectangle using paper 2.

Fill left frame 2 and right frame 2 using paper 6.

Fill left frame fill 2 and right frame fill 2 using paper 3.

Leave left frame and right frame as they are, just add a drop shadow (the top sets of frames that are sort of goldish colored)

Fill left frame fill and right frame fill with paper 1.

Go back and make the right frame fill paper layer active, selections, select all, float, defloat, invert. Open your tube close up, copy and paste as a new layer, arrange in the frame, click delete on your keyboard. Change the blend mode to Luminance(L)

Mirror the tube close up and do the same with the left frame fill paper layer, arranging the tube within it, invert the selection and clicking delete on your keyboard. Change the blend mode to Luminance(L)

Copy and paste your main tube as a new layer. Resize if needed. If you are using the same tube I used, I resized mine by 75%.

Add any elements you'd like. I added the following:

Staple, resize by 75%, put one on each corner of frame & tube layers. See tag for reference.

Flower 3, resized by 25%, put one on each rectangle and bottom left and right frame layers. See tag for reference.

Feather resized by 30%, rotate to right by 90. Duplicate and slide over, duplicate again and mirror, duplicate and arrange. I had two with the small edge facing right, two with the small edge facing left, and just arranged them together. See my tag for reference. Then merge them all together and drag down below the entire template.

Diamonds 2, resize by 35%, arrange on the top right, arrange between the bottom left frame & fill layer and the rectangle below it. Duplicate and mirror, drag duplicate over further left, and arrange below the rectangle layer.

Duplicate the left diamond layer, image flip, arrange and drag below all tag layers, just above white background layer. Duplicate this layer and mirror. 

Add any text you'd like. Add name & copyright info as needed. Crop, resize and save.
