OK lets begin. Open up your supplies and minimise your mask.

Choose a colour from your tube or one that will compliment it.

4.Next click on you frame copy and paste as a new layer

5.Then open your tube,copy and paste on top of the frame as a new layer.Add a drop shadow I used H3 V2 8 Blur 60 Opacity.

Position your tube how you like it, then trim off any excess using your eraser tool.

6.Now position your wordart where you like it.You may need to move things to the left a bit.Give it a drop shadow V1 H-1 Opacity 100 Blur 0 Colour Black. Just to give it definition.

7.Then add any flowers or other embelishments of your choice, same drop shadow as tube.

8.Now add your name drop shadow V1 H-1 Black Opacity100 Blur 0
