Lets begin!

1. Open a new 550×550 image and floodfill with white.
Copy and paste the large flower as a new layer. Colourise to match your tube.

2. Using your magic wand select the centre of the flower. Selections – Modify – Expand – 2.
Layers – New raster Layer. Floodfill with a lighter colour from your tube.
Effects – Texture Effects – Blinds. Use the settings you prefer.
Copy and paste one of your tubes as a new layer. Selections – Invert, hit delete on your keyboard.
Selections – None.

3. Move the flower to the top in your layer pallette. Give it a drop shadow. I used V & H [2] Opacity [60] Blur [6] Colour [Black].
Another drop shadow of V & H [-2] Opacity [60] Blur [6] Colour [Black].
Hide your background layer and merge visible the rest of the layers.

4. Copy and paste the smaller flower as a new layer.
Repeat the same steps as we did with the larger flower.
Place it where you think looks best on your canvas.

5. Copy and paste the doodle as a new layer.
Colourise to match your tube and move it underneath both flowers.

6. Add your main tube. Give it a drop shadow of choice.

7. Add your name. I used the font Liorah BT. I gave it a medium gradient glow and a drop shadow.

8. Add the artist copyrights and your taggers mark and you’re done!
