This tutorial was written assuming you have working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open a 700 X 600 transparent canvas. Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Element 71 (Blue Heart) as a new layer. Resize 50%. Use your Magic Wand and click inside the heart. Selections/Modify/Expand by 2.

Copy and paste Paper 7 as a new layer beneath the heart. Resize 50%. Invert and hit the delete key.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer above the paper layer. Hit the delete key. Deselect. Close out your white canvas. Merge visible.

Copy and paste Element 72 (Pink Heart) as a new layer. Resize 40% and move to the left hand side of your canvas. Duplicate/Mirror. Use your magic wand in the heart on the left hand side. Selections/Modify/Expand by 2.

Copy and paste Paper 4 as a new layer beneath the heart. Resize 40%. Invert and hit the delete key.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer above the paper layer. Hit the delete key. Deselect. Close out your white canvas and the blue heart merged layer. Merge visible.

Repeat the above and do the other pink heart.

Copy and paste Element 50 (Silver heart with a bow) as a new layer. Resize 40% and move to the bottom of the blue heart. Use your eraser tool and erase a small bit of the silver heart to make it appear as if it’s hanging from the blue heart.

Copy and paste Element 19 as a new layer behind the blue heart. The white leaves should be seen sticking out at the bottom of the heart.

Add any elements you wish.

Make a gradient that will match your tag. Click on your white canvas. New Raster Layer. Flood fill the new raster layer with your gradient. Apply the mask. Merge Group.
