For this tutorial you will need:

PSP
Tube of choice
Font of choice (I used Zephyr)
Mask - Vix_Mask_Valentine2 - You can download HERE
Mega Colab Kit *I Heart You* by Rachel of Captivated Visions and Deanna's Dreams.
You can purchase it HERE.

I am using the artwork of Edward Reed, you can find his licensed art at CILM.

Let's get started:

Open a new image 500x500 and background set to white. Copy & paste paper10 as a new layer. Open Vix_Mask_Valentine2, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group.

Copy & paste frame5, resize by 50%, Image/Mirror. Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorize/Set to H - 0, S - 0. Adjust/Brightness and Contrast/Brightness/Contrast/Set to B/-92, C/-29. Duplicate three more times until you get a total of 4 frames. For placement, see my tag for reference. Using your Magic Wand, while holding down the shift key, click inside each frame. Selections/Modify/Expand by 5. Open a new raster layer and move under the frame layers, Floodfill with white or a color of your choice. Copy & paste your tubes and move under the frame layers and above the floodfill layer, when happy, hit Delete on your tube layers. Select none. On your tube layers, Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorize/Set to H - 0, S - 0. Add drop shadow to your tubes and frames. Merge all your frames, tubes, and floodfill layers.

Copy & paste your main tube and add a thick drop shadow.

Add any additional bows, butterflies, hearts,, or elements of your choice.

Crop or resize to your liking. Add your text, copyright info, and watermark, and save as a jpg, png, or gif file.

That's it.. all done!
