-- Jazzy's "basic" drop shadow setting of 2, 2, 50, 3 and color black.
-- font of choice.  I am using SloopScriptTwo.



Cover:
1.   Open template, duplicate, close original and save as a new canvas.  Hide the word art layers if using the same template.

2.   Open four papers of your choice and paste them in.  Choose one and drop it to the bottom to use as the background layer.   

3.  Select shape 7 layer.  Go to your selections menu: select all, float, defloat, invert and then select the second paper layer and hit your delete key.   Repeat with the same paper and layer 3, your third paper and layer 4, and your fourth paper and the smaller layer 3.

5.  Delete layer 1 shape.

6.  Paste in your tube.  Apply drop shadow and position over shape 7 layer.  Repeat step 3 directions.

7.  Time for some elements.   Numbers/names apply to the scrap kit I'm using so if you're using a different one, use the elements of your choice.  All elements are resized with the smart size setting.  Any directions for placement of elements are optional - you can follow them or or place where preferred.  Remember to apply Jazzy's basic drop shadow after each element is placed unless otherwise marked:

18 (flower) - 60%.
32 (drink) - 50%.  place to right of tube.
77 (rose) - 30%.  place next to glass.
55 (star scatter) - rotate 90 degrees and place in center.  drop layer to below shape that encloses tube.
36 (bow) - 20%.  place to "tie" rose to glass.
28 (petals) - duplicate and place below shape 4 layer.  NO drop shadow.
79 (star dangle) - 20%.
53 (mirror) - 40%.
56 (bottle) - 20%.
10 (hair comb) - 25%.
16 (lipstick) - 25%.

8.   Unhide the word art and place it on the upper half of the large flower element.  [optional - recolor word art to match your tube or kit]  Apply basic drop shadow to each layer.

9.  Create a new raster layer for your name.  Type your name and place it to your liking.  In your plugins menu, go to Gradient Glow and use the following settings:



10.  Create a new layer for your copyright/watermark and add it on along the top.  *Remember that you cannot use urls on Facebook due to their rules, so the next best alternative is to credit the artist's or store's FB page - for S&CO tubes, I put @ScrapsNCompany*
