------------------------
♥Let's Start♥

Open a new canvas size 800x800 (you can resize later) and 72dpi.

Open Frame 3.png and copy and paste as a new layer.

Open the following elements and place them how I have mine. Resize if needed. See my tag for reference.

Bow 1.png
Lolli 3.png
Makeup 6.png- Image> Mirror
Cupcake 3.png
Makeup 2.png
Nailpolish 3.png
Ribbon 1.png
Purse 3.png
VIP Pass.png
Wordart.png
Lipstick 3.png
Lips 2.png
Tiara.png- Rotate slightly to the left.

Place a nice drop shadow on each layer that compliments the tag. I used these settings for each layer:
Offset V: 4
Offset H: -3
Opacity: 45
Blur: 10
Color: Black

Crop and resize to suit your needs.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Duplicate, move one layer under the frame and one layer just above your Bow 1.png layer.
Use your magic wand tool to click inside the frame, Selections> Modify> Expand by 2, Selections> Invert.
Use your eraser tool to erase the parts of the tube (both layers) that are sticking out of the bottom of the frame.

Add a nice drop shadow to your top tube layer. No need to shadow the bottom layer.

Now duplicate your top tube layer again and resize it so her face fits nicely inside the VIP Pass.png element's frame.
Select your VIP Pass.png layer and click inside the little frame. Selections> Modify> Expand by 2. Selections> Invert.
Make your tiny tube layer active and hit delete on your keyboard.

Layers> Merge> Merge Visible

Add a new raster layer and add your mask with paper 15.jpg.

Layers> Merge> Merge Visible

Add your copyright and name.

After you add your name, convert to raster and Selections> Select All. Selections> Float. Selections> Defloat. Selections> Modify> Expand by 2
Add a new raster layer under your name layer and fill with color of choice. Selections> Select None or Ctrl + D.





Go to Effects> Plugins> Alien Skin Xenofex 2> Constellation and use the following settings:

OPTIONAL --I also added Alien Skin Eye Candy 4000 Glass to the main name layer with the following settings:

Save as .png or .jpg. Whichever you prefer.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my tut!


ANIMATING
===========
Here's an animated version too! Before you add Constellation, duplicate your name outline layer twice hit the random button in your plugin for each layer.
Then just go into AS, hide the two top name outline layers and Edit> Copy Merged, then paste as new animation in AS. Hide that layer in your PSP Layers Palette, and unhide the middle outline layer and then
Edit> Copy Merged and Paste After Current Frame in AS and then repeat for the last layer. That's it! :)
