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

Let's get started:

Open a new image 550x550 and background set to white. Copy & paste paper6 as a new layer. Open gabeemask50, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group.

Copy & paste paper7 as a new layer. Copy & paste your tube as a new layer. Copy & paste frame3 as a new layer. Using your Magic Wand, click inside the frame, Selections/Modify/Expand by 5/Selections/Invert, and hit Delete on your tube and paper layers. Add drop shadow to the frame and tube layers.

Open bracket3 and using your Selection Tool, set on rectangle, draw a rectangle to include 1/2 of the bracket, and hit Delete on your keyboard. Now you should have 1/2 of the bracket only. Copy & paste the bracket as a new layer. Resize as needed. Image/Rotate/Left 13 degrees. Duplicate. Image/Mirror/Image/Flip. Add drop shadow to both brackets. Effects/DSB Flux/Bright Noise/Set Intensity to 42 & Direction/Mix.

Add any additional bows, buttons, ribbons, flowers, butterflies, 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!
