♥ Let's Begin! ♥

Create a canvas 900x900. Name and save as a *psd. Open your mask and upsize to 800x800.

Create another 800x800, flood-fill bright yellow and apply the mask. Add to the canvas, centre, duplicate twice and merge all layers.

Open the frame (element 111), resize by 30% and add to the canvas; centre.

Pick a colour from your tube of choice. Grab your magic wand, click inside the frame, add a new layer, flood-fill and then Edit >Deselect.

Effects > 8Bf Filter > ICNET Filter> Run > paper Textures > Cotton paper Coarse > apply > OK.

Open the flower (element 35), resize by 30% and add above your frame layer.

Open the leaves (element 12) and resize by 35% and add below your flower layer; mirror and position.

Duplicate the element 33, resize by 15% and turn to your liking. Duplicate and mirror then position by also turning to your liking.

Open element 58, resize by 50% and add above your mask layer; duplicate, mirror, flip and merge.

Open the red heart (element 13), mirror, resize by 15% and position under the flower layer; re-position everything to your liking.

Open leaves (element 5), mirror, resize by 25% and add above your flower layer.

Open the daisy (element 3), resize by 25% and add above the last leaves layer.

Open the orange (element 102), resize by 30% and apply in three different locations around all of the above layers.

Crop your design close to the mask layer, avoiding clipping too close. Resize the overall design by 80%.

Add the tube now. Duplicate, move one below the frame and keep one above all layers. Drop the top tube and carefully erase the excess, leaving the hand intact.  Erase the excess at the bottom of the lower tube. (Do not drop shadow the lower tube layer)

Add any little touches you like (such as my butterfly) now.

Drop Shadow layers, crop/resize to your liking then add your name with copyright. Upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
