♥ Let's Begin! ♥

First, open mask. Add a new layer, flood-fill black and send to the bottom. Invert the original mask to white, merge the layers and save as a JPEG.

Open the template and crop out the main circle of the template; save. Enlarge the canvas size to 2500 widths, flood-fill the background layer white and then save.

Delete Title, papers—2, 4, 6--and journaling layers. Also copies of leaf2, flowers 9, 10.

Open element 9, mirror, flip and re-size by 63% then center over the middle white circle.

Open flower 10, re-size by 30% and add over the middle flowers, with the exception to the one top left; delete originals.

Undo this re-size and re-size again by 45%; add to the one top left and one lower. (see design for placement)

Open element 11, re-size by 65% and add above all large flower layers; delete originals.

Undo this re-size and re-size again by 15%; add in the outlying flower placements.

Open element 19, re-size by 75% and add above the lighter leaves; placing them how you like them. Erase the rest of the leaves, leaving only the bigger, fuller ones in your design.

Open paper 7, re-size by 65% and add on the further right hand side over the dark leaves; delete all dark leaf original layers. Drop shadow this layer to your liking.

Apply the Mura Meister settings to the dark leaf as shown below; manually center under the layers.

Add element 4 in two places to fill in holes.

Merge frame and photo layers. Open paper 4, re-size by 45% and add to the center opening. Erase any excess outside of the magnifying glass area; delete original layer.

Open paper 6, re-size by 35% and add the words to one side, then the dark to the other (in two different steps). Merge both of these layers together for a uniform look; delete original layer.

Open paper 1, re-size by 35% and replace the paper 5 & 7 layers, making sure to also click inside each circle to remove the center; delete original layers.

Open paper 2 again and mirror. Copy full-size (takes a bit longer) and replace paper 1 layer.

Re-size design by 50% and save.

Open any dark brown paper, and re-size both paper and mask by 25%. Apply mask, upsize by 110% and add to the white background layer; position manually then lower the opacity to 100 and add a PDN glow of your choosing.

Download the close up tube, re-size by 75% and add to the frame opening. Drop shadow and remove excess.
