~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Bread 4 as a new layer.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and position to the right of the heart - see my tag for reference.
Move both layers into exact position.
Duplicate the tube layer.
Mirror
Position it over the heart.
Close out both tube layers - will make the next step easier to see.

Using your Freehand Selection Tool, outline the heart just inside the frame of it.

Reopen the tube layer that’s just above the heart.
Change the Properties to Multiply.
Tap the delete key.

Flowers 3: Position behind the heart/Duplicate/Flip
Paper Chain Heart 1: Resize 85%
Bear 2: Resize 50%
Bee 1: Resize 25% and 80%/Duplicate/Mirror
