-- Jazzy's basic drop shadow setting of 2, 2, 50, 3 and color black.
-- the plugins Mura Meister Copies and Eye Candy Gradient Glow.
-- font of choice.  I am using Diploma.



1.  Open a frame of choice from your kit.  Duplicate, close original and save as your canvas.  Resize frame if needed and expand canvas if needed as well.

2.  Select a scenic paper from your kit.  Paste underneath your frame.  Click outside your frame with magic wand.  Selections > modify > expand by 8.  Return to paper and hit the delete key.

3.  Select a second paper that is non scenic.  Paste as bottom layer.  Apply your mask and merge group.

4.  In effects menu, go to Texture Effects > Polished Stone and apply the following settings to your mask layer:




5.   Now let's add in a few elements.  Names/numbers 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.  Remember to apply basic drop shadow after each element is placed unless otherwise marked:

59 (string of roses) - 40-50%.  place along bottom of frame.
9 (candle) - 30%.
38 (white flower vine) - 60%.  apply Mura Meister Copies plugin, Encircle preset, 16-20 copies.  drop behind frame layer.
85 (watch) - 20%.
