Scrapkit "Smokey Haze" by Me from my Blog- HERE

ok off we go!!

Open a new canvas 650 x 650 and flood fill with white

Get paper5 from the kit and paste as a new layer

Open my mask and minimise

Go to Layers-new mask layer-image and find my mask

invert mask is UN-checked

apply mask

layers  > merge > merge group
Copy and paste my txt layer as a new layer
Now get my doodle and paste it as a new layer,
use your pick/deform tool to posistion.
get the heart frame and resize it by 75% of original.
Next you need to copy and paste the heart frame
and place it to the left and up slightly.
Now get the paper and wire frame from the kit, resize this to 65% of original
paste as a new layer and move this down and to the right.
Get your card frame from the kit and re-size this by 65%
paste as a new layer 
 now get a paper from the kit (i used paper2)
and paste that as a new layer
and drop it below your car frame
get your freehand selection tool (the lassoo one)
and trace out the center of the frame





Make sure the paper layer is active
selections > invert > delete.
select none
Add  your tube behind the frame and use either
your selection tool again as we have just done,
or use your eraser  to get rid of any bits of the tube
showing outside the frame that you dont want to see.


Now open up the 3 flowers from the kit.
resize them to your liking and then add them as new layers.
I resized mine to 60% and 50% and
then fine tuned the resize by using my deform/pick tool
Add a drop shadow to each flower.
Place them to the left side of the frame.
Add your main tube image
give it a small light drop shadow

Add your Name, and your © and licence info 

Merge all your layers
use your crop tool to trim off any excess  save as  jpg or PNG
there you go your lil' ragdoll is ready for a hug!!
