-- Jazzy's "basic" drop shadow setting of 2, 2, 50, 3 and color black.

1.  Open template, duplicate, close original and save the template copy as your new canvas.  

2.  Select four papers from your scrap kit, including two that are scenic or patterned and paste them in as new layers.

3.  Select the bar shapes if using the same template and merge these layers together. (or the bottom shape if a different template).  Go to your selections menu: select all, float, defloat, invert and then select your first paper and hit the delete key.

4.  Remove heart shape layer.  Select the "I" and "U" layers, merge them together.  Repeat step 3 with your second paper.

5.  Move the third paper down as the bottom layer.  Apply mask and merge group.

6.  Merge the circle shape layers together and use your magic wand to select INSIDE the circles (gray area)  Select your last paper.  Float > defloat > invert and hit delete key.  Repeat the above actions with the frame layer and your scenic paper.

8.  Use magic wand to click the black border of the frame shape.  Floodfill with a color from your kit.  In your effects menu, go to texture effects > polished stone and use the default settings.

9.  Paste in your tube and add drop shadow.  Place on right hand side of canvas.

10.  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 (heart bubbles) - 65%.  rotate 20 degrees left.  place behind the "I" and "U" shapes.  NO DROP SHADOW.
5 (flower branch) - 80%.  place along bottom of frame shape.
2 (white flowers) - 45%.  place below circle shape layer.  duplicate twice and place copies elsewhere.
65 (corner bow) - 35%.
25 (foil star) - 40%.  duplicate twice and place all layers below frame shape layer.
58 (large petal flower) - 30%.
10 (perfume bottle) - 25%.
