Lets begin!

1. Open up all your supplies in PSP.
Open a new canvas 600×600. Floodfill with white.
Copy and paste the frame I provided as a new layer.
Using your magic wand click the inside of the heart.
Selections – Modify – Expand – 8.
Copy and paste your image/tube as a new layer.
Selections – Invert. Hit the delete key on the keyboard.
Selections – None.
Layers – Arrange – Move Down.

2. Colourise the frame to match your tube.
Give it a drop shadow. I used 0, 0, 60, 6, black.
Copy and paste the glass I provided as a new layer.
Hide your background layer and merge visible the glass, frame and image layers.

3. Copy and paste the eyelet I provided.
Place it in the middle where the heart arches meet.
[see tag for reference]
Using your magic wand select the center of the eyelet.
Selections – Modify – Expand -3.
Make your merged layer the active layer and hit delete on your keyboard.
Selections – Select None.
Give the eyelet a drop shadow of choice.

4. Copy and paste the string I provided.
Colourise to match your tag.
Give it a drop shadow of choice.
I used the eraser brush to delete parts of it to make it look like it was hooked around the eyelet.

5. Copy and paste the cross stitch and place it on the string.
Colourise and give it a drop shadow of choice.
At this stage I hid my background and merged my layers.

6. Make your background layer active.
Layers – New Raster Layer.
Floodfill with a colour from your tube.
Apply a mask of choice.
I applied 2 masks on 2 seperate layers.
I used Chelle’s masks 12 and 26.

7. Add any embellishments of choice.

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

9. I added constellation to my finished tag to give the name a sparkly effect.
