Mask of choice I used Becky mask 35

Font of choice I used Fat

 

Lets go!

 

When using scrap kits when you resize them you need to resize using smart size and then sharpen by going Adjust Sharpen or the elements get faded and don’t look as good. So when it says resize use this step.

 

Open new canvas 600 x 600 flood fill white.

 

Open paper of choice - for the circle and rectangle frame.

I used the navy blue one.

Resize by 20%

 

Using your eclipse shape, width set to 45, foreground and stroke properties your paper, background null, draw out a circle on your canvas.

(it needs to be a fat frame because the glass plugin works better)

Convert to raster layer.

 

Effects/plugins/eye candy impact 5/glass

Just apply with the factory settings.

 

Open up another paper for the inside of your frame, I used the light blue flowers one.

Resize

New raster layer/flood fill with this paper.

Back on your frame layer using magic wand click inside the frame.

Selections/modify expand 10/invert

On paper layer hit delete.

Select none.

 

Repeat the above steps to draw out a rounded rectangle and heart shape, filling with paper the same way.

 

Using your mover tool, move the frames and papers into place - see my tag for placement.

 

Add tube.

 

Open the elements

Resize.

Paste as new layers, see my tag for placement.

 

Open another paper of your choice.

Above your white background layer flood fill with this paper.
