♥ Let's Begin! ♥

Create a canvas 1200 x 1200.

Open the frame, resize by 55% and add to the canvas. Center, hide white background and then pull to the right but make it is only two squares from the edge.

Unhide white background, duplicate the frame and mirror; do not merge.

Open black paper, resize to 600 x 600 and add to the frame openings.

Resize the red paper and apply the mask. You’ll have to work your mask to make this one work. Manually expand it out on the left side, duplicate, and mirror.

Return to the center (between the two mask layers) and add the mask standing up. Once you get it the way you like, duplicate, flip and position at the bottom. Merge all mask layers together.

Add a drop shadow of 9/6/0/12/90 to each of the frames. I also mirrored them both and applied a second DS to make it good and dark.

Move both papers to under the frames; merge together. This will show that one frame is under the other. Erase the excess on the lower frame from inside the upper frame and merge these together now.

Add the stand-up tube to the left-hand side of the frame openings. Do the same with the close-up tube on the right. You may need to upsize both slightly and sharpen.

Duplicate the close-up tube, DS the lower layer and add penta jeans to the upper layer.

Open the white leaves, resize by 35% and add to the left frame. Duplicate and pull this one down toward the edge of the mask layer.

Open the black button heart, resize by45% and then add above the white leaves layers; slightly manually rotate.

Open the red heart, resize by 15% and add above the black heart; manually rotate slightly opposite the black one.

Open element 6, resize by 35% and add on either side of the hearts layers.

Open the black flower, resize by 35% and add above element 6 flower, right-hand side.

Open the white flower, resize by 30% and add below element 6 flower, left-hand side.

Open black leaves, resize by 30% and add one each above the white leaves layers; position manually.

Add the stamp in the upper and lower portion of your design.

Drop shadow everything to your liking. Add your own personal touches now.

Crop/resize to your liking then add your name with copyright. Animate, if you like, or keep static. Upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
