Supplies needed:-

Thank you Norma for your lovely work.
I used the Gorjuss work from Suzanne Woolcott which can be found
Font of choice.
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 600 x 600 canvas and flood fill white.
Open the purple frame.
Resize/edit/copy and paste as new layer onto your canvas.
Open the patterned oval frame.
Resize/edit/copy and paste as new layer above your purple frame.
Now using your pick tool, play about with the patterned oval frame until it is the same size as your purple circle frame and is sitting nicely above it.
Resize the patterned now circle frame by 95%.
See my tag to how it should look.
On your purple frame layer with your eraser tool just erase any purple that is showing through the circle holes in the frame.
Merge these two layers.
Duplicate the frame layer.
On the original frame layer.
Adjust/Gaussian blur/10
Hit ok.
Open the paper of choice.
Resize/edit/copy and paste as new layer below your frame layer.
Open your tube
Copy and paste as new layer below your frame layer.
On your frame layer, using your magic wand click inside your heart frame.
Selections/modify/expand/3/invert
Hit delete on your top paper layer
Hit delete on your tube layer.
Select none.
If you have any paper or tube showing through the holes on your frame just use your eraser tool to erase.
Open the tulips and bow.
Resize/copy/paste as new layers above your frame layers.
I made two of the tulips look like they were coming through the holes in the frame.
Use my tag for placement.
Open the pink glitter heart.
Resize/edit/copy and paste as new layer above your white background layer.
Open the pink glitter 1
Resize/edit/copy and paste as new layer above your purple paper layer.
Add your name.
Add drop shadows to all your elements etc, I find it easier to do this at the end.
Vertical & Horizontal 2
Opacity 50 & Blur 5, colour black.
Add the drop shadow to the first element.
Then hit edit/repeat drop shadow on everything else.
Resize all layers by 80%
Add your copyright.
Merge white background, pink heart glitter, copyright and paper layers.
Merge tube/frame/elements and your name layers.
So you should be left with 3 layers.
Frame/elements layer.
Pink glitter 1 layer.
Background layer.
On your pink glitter layer.
Selections/select all/float/defloat.
Duplicate so you have 3 layers.
Adjust/add/remove noise/add noise.
Gaussian clicked.
Monochrome clicked.
Noise 30%
Do the same on the 2nd layer but change the noise to 35%.
Do the same on the 3rd layer but change the noise to 40%
Duplicate your frame/elements layer twice so you have 3 copies.
Duplicate your background layer twice so you have 3 copies.
Hide 2 of the layers of each copies.
Merge all visible.
Repeat this step until you are left with 3 layers again.
For Animation.
Copy and paste the first copy over into animation shop as new animation.
Copy and paste the second copy over into animation shop after current frame.
Copy and paste the third copy over into animation shop after current frame.
