The beautiful tube is one of the ©Suzanne Woolcott collection, and you can purchase her tubes and a licence number HERE.

The mask you will need you can download HERE.

Let's begin:

1.- First we are going to work in the ©Gorjuss picture, so open a new reaster layer of 500 x 500 pixels.

2.- Copy and paste as new layer paper 12, resize to conveninece.

3.- Copy and paste as new layer decorated frame 1, resize to 40%. With your magic wand select into the frame, and then go to selections/modify/ expand 10.

4.- Copy and paste as new layer paper 7, then go to selection/invert, and then edit/cut. Put this layer below the frame and with your eraser tool, delete all what exceed the frame below the grass.

5.- Copy and paste as new layer decorated umbrella 3, rezise to 30%. Put as you can see in my image and add drop shadow of choice.

6.- Copy and paste as new layer decorated pin 1, resize to 25%, and with your eraser tool, delete a little of the metal pin as you can see in my image. Add the same drop shadow as you used before.

7.- Copy and paste as new layer water puddle, resize to 25%, and put this layer below the umbrella, as you can see in my image.

11.- Copy and paste as new layer butterfly 2, resize to 25%, and put this layer in umbrella top, as you can see in the image. Add drop shadow of choice.

12.- Now merge all visible layers, and resize the result layer to 75%. With your shape tool, select rectangle, with size 10, colour outside white, and none colour inside. And made a rectangle. As a picture, convert this vector layer to a raste layer, and merge again all the visible layers. Add drop shadow as you use before.

13.- Now open a new raster layer of 500 x 500 pixels, copy your merged layer and paste as new layer in the new image, and rotate free 20 degrees to the left.

14.- Copy and paste as new layer paper 3. Open your mask in your psp, go to masks/new mask/from an image, and apply the mask to the paper layer, go to masks/invert and then again masks/delete mask, and resize this layer to 130%. Move the mask layer below.
