Let's begin :)

Open a new canvas size 650x650.

Move element 11 onto the canvas. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Place your tube over the frame. I made her sit so her head is just barely under the top of the frame. Erase any parts that hang over the bottom of the frame.

Move p14 behind the frame and tube. Resize it smaller and erase any little parts that hang outside the frame.

Place ele55 on the left hand side of the tube on top of the frame. Resize it so it meets the same height as her chin. Add a drop shadow in the color code #ffd170.

Move ele35 behind the drink. Resize so it's relative to the size of the drink and add a drop shadow.

Place ele32 in front of the lemon slice but behind the drink. So it looks like the coconut is sitting on the bottom of the glass you will need to erase the little part of the glass that sits over the coconut. Not any part of the stem, just the base. Add a drop shadow.

Move ele08 behind the lemon and resize/rotate. Add a drop shadow.

Place ele34 on the middle of the frame. Resize a little and add a drop shadow. Have it above the coconut so it just covers little parts.
Move ele33 behind ele34 and make it a little larger than the solid pink bow. Move it behind the coconut and add a drop shadow.

Place ele29 behind both bows and the wide part of the shell stick out facing right. Resize and add a drop shadow. Move ele28 behind ele29 and have it cover any parts of the tube still showing where it meets the frame. Add a drop shadow.

Duplicate the layer you have ele08 on and flip it horizontally. Move it to the other side and place it behind the shells.

Move ele14 on top of the frame and behind everything else. Flip it vertically and resize a little. Add a drop shadow.

Take ele13 and place it behind ele14. Flip horizontally and vertically. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Place ele23 behind everything. Flip horizontally and vertically and resize a little. Add a drop shadow.

For the mask I used p01. Just open a new canvas, size 600x600, move your mask, size 600x600, on top of the blank canvas, and then move the paper, resized to 600x600, below the mask. Remove the background and place it behind the frame. Don't have too much stick outside the frame and nothing sticking outside the canvas.

For the name:
The font is Blessed Day
The main color is #bf4044
Add a bevel in linear with a white shadow
Add a stroke, size 2, in the color #ffb5ae
Add a drop shadow in the color #ffd170

Add your copyright information and tagger mark.
Crop off any extra parts of the canvas, but don't cut off any parts of the tag or mask.

Save as a .psd & .png.

We're done! Thanks for stopping by and trying out my tutorial!

Alright, let's get started!

Open a new canvas, size 650x650.

Move ele21 on the canvas and rotate so it is vertical. Resize just a little and add a drop shadow.

Move p08 behind the frame and resize so just a little sticks outside the frame. Erase the extras.

Place the tube behind the frame and on top of the paper. Resize so it sits nicely inside the frame. Erase any little parts that stick out. No drop shadow necessary.

Take ele28 and place it on the right side of the frame. You will need to make it smaller so it can sit on the frame and have it stick out evenly on both sides. Place it lower than the middle of the frame. Add a drop shadow and duplicate then flip horizontally. Move the duplicate across the frame to the other side. Duplicate the copy two more times and and move those two to cover the frame.

Now take ele55 and place it behind the flowers on the right side so it goes up the frame and sticks off a little. You will need to resize and erase parts that stick out below or off to the sides. Add a drop shadow, duplicate, and move to the other side.

Place ele48 behind the white flowers. Add a drop shadow so it is easier to see. Flip it vertically and have it round out the bottom of the flowers. Duplicate it and flip it horizontally on the other side. Duplicate it again and resize so it's smaller than the original two and fill the empty space under the flowers in the middle.

Move ele37 and place it over the ribbon where it dips, resize it and add a drop shadow.

Place ele32 on the other side and place it over the ribbon. Resize it and add a drop shadow.

Move ele20 on to the white flowers in the middle, resize, and and add a drop shadow.

Place ele11 on top of ele20. Resize so it's not larger than the heart and add a drop shadow.

Now use ele60 as the mask. Place it behind the frame and resize so there is room to fit it on there twice. Have one copy stick out the right side and one stick outside the left side. In the blending options select color overlay and use color code #9272b1. No drop shadow necessary.

Let's start the name. Again, the font is Lovers Quarrel. Use the color code #7c5ba2 for the fill. Add a white stroke, size 3, add a drop shadow, and a white bevel using Linear.  Place it over the flowers on the left.

Add your tagger mark and copyright information.

Crop off any extra background. Be careful not to cut off any parts of the tag or mask.

Save as a .psd and .png.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and thanks for helping with the charity collab!
