Lets begin!

1. Open all the supplies in PSP.
Colourise my supplies to match your tube.
Lower the opacity of the ‘woodmask’ layer to around 50-60 or so.

2. Make your ‘ringframe’ layer the active layer.
Using your magic wand select the inside of the frame.
Selections – Modify – Expand – 4.
Copy and paste the mist tube as a new layer.
Selections – Invert. Hit the delete key on your keyboard.
Selections – Select None.
Colourise to match your tube.
Move this layer below your frame layer and lower the opacity to around 70-80.

3. Copy and paste the leaves as a new layer.
Resize by 50% smart size [you need to do this twice!].
Using your Raster Deform Tool rotate it until you’re happy with the position.
Give it a drop shadow of choice.
Duplicate this layer. Image – Mirror.
Merge these 2 layers. Duplicate the merged layer. Image – Flip. Merge the 2 leaves layers.
Move them down so they’re just above the woodmask layer.

4. Add your tube and give it a dropshadow of choice.
Add your name in a font of choice. [I used FairydustB, size 48]
Add the artist copyrights and your taggers mark and you’re done!

N.B You could add your own flowers/embellishments and even animation!
