This Awesome kit was part of a Blogtrain,and is by Cari at Black widow Creationz, You can find her work in her store  Here 

The cute tube is by Laura Nicolodi and can be found Here  

Let's Begin

Drop Shadow = DS--2,2,50,5 Black

900 X900

1.) Grab a color from your tube- I used 256652-make it your background color--fill none- Go to your "Preset Shapes" and get one that will look good with this tut-- I used "Arrow 21" which came with my program.. these settings-- Anti-alias --checked--create as Vector-checked--Line style -- Solid-- Width= 20, EX1 & EX2 (objects--align--Center in Canvas) convert to raster layer

2.) With Magic wand-click on the inside--selection-modify--10

Paper 4 -or the one you choose--Copy and paste = C&P as New Raster Layer = NRL - invert on frame --delete on paper--Select none = SN--move below shape -- DS -- both

3.) Tube of choice--C&P as NRL--Place in center of frame--Resize = R--- if needed--- duplicate = dup.--and move this layer below the frame layer-- erase any part of tube, hanging over and under the frame-- DS --the dup.-- Close out bottom layer (keep it closed for now) Merge Visible = MV-- all layers -- (rename frame)-- R = 80% move to upper left corner--tag reference = TR..

4.) El. 13 -- R = 80% - sharpen -- C&P as NRL --move to right side - DS --TR

5.) El. 14 --R = 60 % - sharpen -- C&P as NRL--place on left side-- DS -- TR

6.) El. 15 --R = 60%-- sharpen -- C&P as NRL--place in center -- DS --TR

7.) El. 16 -- R = 60%--  sharpen -- C&P as NRL-- Place beside frame-- DS--TR

8.) El. 17 -- R = 60%--sharpen -- C&P as NRL-place anywhere you wish--I placed mine upper left side-- DS--TR

9.) El. 18 --R= 75% --sharpen -- C&P as NRL--place anywhere you wish -again I placed mine-- on the right side of frame.

10.) El. 19 --R = 90 % -sharpen -- C&P as NRL--place on right side move layer below-- El.16-- DS --TR

11.) El. 20 -- R = 90%-sharpen -- C&P as NRL--place on bottom left side--move layer to right above bottom layer--DS --TR

12.) El. 21 --R= 90%-sharpen -- C&P as NRL-plsce upper right--mirror- DS --TR

13.) El. 22 --R= 50% -unsharp - mask--C&P as NRL--place upper left side--Mirror-- DS.--TR

14.) Image 3 -- C&P as NRL -- place on upper right -- Free - rotate- Left 45% -- place layer below frame-- DS --TR.

15.) Image 2 -- C&P as NRL -- Free rotate - Left 25% -- place on upper left side of tag -- DS -- TR--move layer below frame.

16.) Image 6 -- C&P as NRL --  free rotate = right 25%--place right below 1st sucker-- DS -- TR--  move layer below frame.

17.) Image 7 --  C&P as NRL -- free rotate - left 25 % place layer below frame -- DS -- TR

18.) Image 35 -- C&P as NRL - mirror --place in front center -- DS -- TR

19.) with bottom layer still closed -- MV -- all layers -when happy -- R = 56 % -- sharpen

20.) Paper 5 ( or one you want ) -- C&P as NRL -- move layer below the merged layer-- add mask of choice -- delete mask-- ungroup layers -- crop - opaque --  when happy -- open bottom layer -- and MV all layers.

21. ) Add any word art that you wish I wrote a little saying-- TR -- then add ALL Copy right info.-- and Name-- when happy- MV all layers again and save as PNG..

I hope you like this tut, I had fun with all the elements,there are some really cool ones.. Like I said this was part of a Blog -train back in 2010-- I wish I knew which one. 

Will holler atcha later.

Hugs,

Angie
