OK, let's get started!

Open your template. Re-size to 800x525.

Remove the credits layer.

Merge layer 2 & 1 together.

Select the new layer 1.

Open Paper10. Re-size to 75%.

Add to layer 1.

Add a black drop shadow of -2.

Merge layer 4 & 3 together.

Select the new layer 3.

Open Paper8. Re-size to 75%.

Add to layer 3.

Add a black drop shadow of +3.

Select layer 5.

DO NOT recolor. Add noise, random, monochrome, 100%.

Add a pink gradient glow of 5 with the hex code, #F20F62

Merge layer 7 & 6 together.

Select the new layer 6.

Open Paper3. Re-size to 75%.

Merge layers 11 & 12 together.

Erase the new layer 12.

Open your tube of choice. Place a closeup of your tube layer behind layer 12.

Depending on the tube you have chosen, you may need to adjust the size.

Duplicate this layer and place on the opposite side.

Erase any part of the tube showing outside the bottom of the circle layer. (Mine is labled Raster 4, as should yours).

Leave the head of the tube showing outside the top of the circle layer.

Merge your tube layers together.

Apply radiance using the plugin, radiance from xero.

Adjust only the beauty setting to 140.

Apply black and white color.

At this time, you may choose to add a full body of the tube layer. If so, use the same settings as above.

Apply same radiance setting.

Black and white color is OPTIONAL.

Add a black drop shadow of -3.

Merge layers 5 & 4 together.

Open any elements of your choosing. I am using...

Cakepops

Flower

Flower1

Gingys

House

Kiss

Lights

Sign

Tree

Re-size each element to your liking.

Add a black drop shadow of -1 or +1 to all elements.

Merge all layers, add copyright, name and re-size if you wish.
