Have everything ready? Let's go!

Open a new canvas, size 650x650.

Move Frame1 on to the canvas and resize. Rotate if you like and add a drop shadow.
Place P1 behind the frame, resize, and erase extras.

Move the full sized tube in front of the frame. Resize so the hair sticks over the top of the frame a little and the bottom of her meets in the middle of the bottom of the frame. Add a drop shadow.

Place the Parasol on the right side of the tube and behind her. Resize and rotate it toward the right a little. Make sure nothing hangs off the edge of the canvas. Add a drop shadow.

Move the Tophat to the left of the tube. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Take Ribbon1 and place it in front of the tube on the bottom. Place it behind the top hat and in front of the parasol. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Move Ribbonflower1 behind the tophat. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Move Ribbonflower3 behind the tube and the tophat. Move it slightly lower than the black flower. Resize and add a drop shadow.
On the right side of the tube, move Ribbonflower2  behind the tube. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Duplicate the layer of Ribbonflower1 and move it behind the pink flower and in front of the parasol. Resize and add a drop shadow.

In front of the black flower on the right side and behind the pink ribbon, place the Cuppy. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Place the choker in front of the tophat. Resize and add a drop shadow.
In front of the tophat and choker, place the sunglasses. Resize and add a drop shadow. Erase parts of the sunglasses that appear over the choker on the left so it appears the sunglasses are in front and behind the choker.

Directly to the right of the tube place the pocket watch above everything. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Move the nail polish right next to the pocketwatch. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Place the lipstick in front of the pocketwatch and nail polish. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Now lay the key in front of the pocketwatch. Resize and rotate so the teeth of the key are laying flat pointing up. Add a drop shadow.

Behind the pocketwatch, place the fan. Resize and add a drop shadow. Have some of the fan hidden behind the pocketwatch.

Move Skull2 in front of the fan and the choker/sunglasses. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Between the tophat and the choker/sunglasses, place the Charm. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Between the lipstick and the nail polish, take a rose and rotate it so it lays horizontally facing away from the tube. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Duplicate the rose layer and add two pointing away from the tube on the left side behind the top hat.

Move Sparkles2 on to the elements in the front. You can move it around until it's covering what you want. Resize and erase any extras hanging off the elements.

Move Streakoflight on to the tube. Rotate so it goes along the height of the tube. Resize and erase any parts hanging off the tube and outside the tag.

Behind the tophat, move the Glitterdoodle. Resize and rotate so it's going along the curve of the frame toward the top. Add a drop shadow.

For the word art:
"Gothic Beauty"
Gothic is in the font Gothic Birthday.
Main color is black.
Stroke is size, 2, in color #dd8e8a.
Bevel is the default.

Beauty is in the font Parisienne.
Main color is #e0918d.
Stroke is size2, black.
Bevel is in Gaussian with a white shadow.

Add a drop shadow to both. Place Gothic on top of the elements and a little higher than the sunglasses.
Move Beauty on top of Gothic and a little toward the right. Have the B meet the "o" in gothic. Make sure the sizes are somewhat equal. 

For the name:
Use the same font as Beauty in the word art.
Copy the main color and the layer styles from Beauty too.

Let's make the mask:
Open a blank canvas, size 600x600.
Open P9 and resize to 600x600.
Open your choice of mask and make sure the size is 600x600.
Move the paper on to the blank canvas and then the mask on top.
Remove the white background and place behind the tag.
Resize so it is visible around the frame. Make sure no parts of the mask hang off the canvas.

Now add your copyright information and tagger mark.
Crop off any extras.
Save as .psd & .png.

We're done! Isn't it beautiful?
Thanks for stopping by:)
