Let's get started:

Open a new image 550x550 and background set to white. Copy & paste paper3 as a new layer. Open WSL_Mask167, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group. Move this layer to the left. Adjust/Add Noise/Set to 11.

Copy & paste paper9 as a new layer. Open WSL_Mask167, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group. Image/Mirror and move to the right. Adjust/Add Noise/Set to 30.

Copy & paste DblFrame as a new layer. Copy & paste paper3 as a new layer and move under the frame layer. Copy & paste your tube of choice, Image/Mirror and move under the frame layer. Using your Magic Wand, click inside both frames of the frame, Selections/Modify/Expand by 5/Selections/Invert and hit Delete on the tube and paper layers. On your tube layer, Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorize/Set to H/137, S/71 and lower opacity to 60% or whatever you prefer. Add drop shadow to frame and tube layers. Merge these three layers.

Copy & paste RibbonHeart2 as a new layer. Copy & paste paper2 as a new layer and move under the ribbonheart layer. Using your Text Tool, set to Bank Gothic size 14 and type out Silent Tears until it fills the ribbonheart and move under the frame layer. Using your Magic Wand, click inside the ribbonheart layer, Selections/Modify/Expand by 5/Selections/Invert and hit Delete on the paper and text layers. Add drop shadow to the ribbonheart layer. Merge these three layers.

Copy & paste your tube of choice. Copy & paste ribbon2 as a new layer and resize as needed. Add drop shadow to your tube and ribbon2 layers. Using your Text Tool, set to Bank Gothic, size 48 and type out Silent Tears so it fits on the tag on the ribbon2 layer. Add drop shadow and change blend mode to Burn.

Add any additional bows, flowers, 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!
