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

Let's get started:

Open a new image 550x550 and background set to white. Copy & paste paper3 as a new layer. Open your mask of choice, Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image and find the mask in the drop down list. Delete mask layer, and merge group.

Copy & paste frame3 as a new layer. Using your Magic Wand, click inside frame, Selections/Modify/Expand by 5. Open a new raster layer, move under the frame layer, and floodfill with #659115 or a color to match your tube. Open a new raster layer, move under the frame layer, add any text you want. Change the blend mode to soft light. Add drop shadow to frame and merge these layers.

Copy & paste flowervine1 as a new layer and move to the right of the frame layer. Add drop shadow. Duplicate. Image/Mirror and position to your liking.

Copy & paste bow5 as a new layer. Move to the bottom right of the frame layer. Add drop shadow.

Copy & paste your tube of choice as a new layer. Move to desired position. Duplicate. Working on the original layer, change Blend Mode to Luminance(L) and opacity to 81%.

Add any additional flowers, ribbons, 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!
