I am using the artwork of Elias Chatzoudis, you can find his licensed art at MPT.

Let's get started:

Open Teresa's TagTemplate7, Image/Resize/by 75%/All layers checked. Shift + D to duplicate and close out the original. Delete the watermark layer. Click on the circle layer, Selections/Float/Defloat/Modify/Smooth by 10. Open new raster layer, and floodfill with a color of your choice, I used #DBA521. Copy & paste paper 15 as a new layer, and move above the journalblock layer. Click on the journalblock, Selections/Float/Defloat/Modify/Smooth by 10. Select the paper15 layer, and hit Delete. X out all layers except for the three mat layers. Merge. Selections/Float/Defloat/Modify/Smooth to 10. Keep selected. Copy & paste paper11 as a new layer. Copy & paste your tube as a new layer. Image/Resize/by 130%. Move to desired position, and hit Delete on the paper11 and tube layers. Add drop shadow to your circle, journalblock, mat, frames, and tube layers. I didn't use the template flowers or change the color of the frames, but if you do, just follow the steps above. X-out the white background and merge visible.

Copy & paste paper1 as a new layer. Open WSL_Mask291, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group. Move to the right side of your image and move under the framed layer. Open new raster layer, and floodfill with color of your choice, I used #DBA521. Open WSL_Mask291, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group. Move to the left side of your image.

Add any additional candles, bows, ribbons, buttons, 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!
