This tutorial was written using Psp8 but can be done in other versions.

This tutorial is my design and any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.

The tutorial is meant as a guide only.

 

Supplies.

Tube of your choice. I used the awesome art of Elias Chatzoudis, You need a license to use his work which can be purchased at MPT

Roses are red... Scrap kit freebie by me which you can download Here

Fonts of your choice

Plug in filters

Let's get started.

 

Open a new canvas 600 x 600 flood fill white
Rename layer background

Paste one of the frames as new layer I used frame 3

With you magic wand
Settings add (shift)
Click in both sides of the frame above and below the ribbon

Selections>Modify>Expand by 5

Paste a paper of your choice as new layer
Selections>Invert
Press delete on your keyboard

Move the paper below the frame layer but do not de select

Paste the tube of your choice as new layer
Place slightly to the right of the frame see my tag for example
Rename layer tube
When happy with placement
Layer>duplicate
Move the copy of tube to be the top layer and close off visibility for now
Make the original tube layer your active layer
Press delete on your keyboard
Select none

On the copy of tube you have 2 options
You can use the eraser tool to delete any of the tube at the bottom of the frame over hanging your ribbon
Or
If you want to you can use the lasso tool
Zoom in on your tag
And carefully cut round the hand of the tube so that the hand shows over the ribbon then delete the excess tube around it.
I will leave it for you to decide which to do depending on your level of Psp ability

Add the following drop shadow to the frame layer
V&H 1
Opacity 70
Blur 1
And then repeat changing V&H to -1

Paste the bling heart as new layer
Resize by 50%
Adjust>Sharpness>sharpen more
Place inside the top of the left hand side of the frame
Layers duplicate
Move the duplicated heart down so that it is joined to the bottom of the first heart
And repeat so you have 3 hearts in a line down the left of the frame

Hide all other layers and merge visible on the hearts
Unhide hidden layers and move the merged hearts so they are beneath the frame layer

Add the same drop shadow we used on the frame

Make the frame the active layer
Paste the feather as new layer
Resize by 50%
