Supplies Needed:

Tube or image of choice
Scrapkit: "Bon Temps Collection - Eric" by "Oopsie Daisy" and can be purchased here.
Mask(s): Mask1 by Sabre, you can find it here.
Font(s): AL Afternoon Delight, Scrap Cursive

Here we go!

Open a new image, 600x600 (we can resize later), flood fill with white.

Open paper8 - Copy, paste as a new layer, apply Sabre mask1, merge down, duplicate.

Open frame4 - Copy, paste as a new layer, resize if necessary.

Open tube or image of choice - The image I chose does not need a background so I just copied and pasted. If your using a tube, flood fill frame with a paper of choice, move underneath frame layer, paste tube as new layer, make any resizing now.

Open swoosh - Copy, paste as a new layer, arrange over mask layer to the right of the frame, duplicate, mirror.

Open bloodstain - Copy, paste as a new layer, resize if necessary.

Open journal - Copy, paste as a new layer underneath frame layer, resize if necessary, duplicate, change blend mode to multiply.

Open feather, spiral ribbon, blood, bloodtini, and string bow - Copy, paste as a new layers, resize to your liking - duplicate both the spiral ribbon and the string bow changing the blend modes to multiply.

At this point, I usually resize if I need a smaller image. I also save both the original size and the smaller size images.

Open fangtasia wordart - Copy, paste as a new layer, resize if necessary.

Add a new vector layer for "My Lover". Try to choose a font that is a handwritten style.

Add a new vector layer for your text, I chose the bar slogan. To make it stand out, I duplicate the layer, convert bottom layer to raster, select all, use magic wand to select text, expand by 2, floodfill with white.

Add a new vector layer for your name. I choose paper2 as my floodfill.

Go back through to sharpen and add a drop shadow to your layers.

Add your copyright as the finishing touch.
