Supplies needed:
Scrapkit of choice - I used my own PTU kit “Blue Dreams”. If you’re interested in purchasing the kit, visit Digital Chaos.
Scraps needed: 2 papers, frame, glitter, chain link (optional), heart or other accent
Tube or Image of choice – I am using an awesome tube by Karina Dale, www.karinadale.com . I purchased her art through PTE. Do not use her work unless you have purchased the right to do so.
Font of choice – I am using “AmoreATT”, but you can use any font you like.
Mask of choice – I am using boundlessbliss_grungemask_1 (Sorry, her blog has been removed, so not sure where to get this mask if you don’t have it.)
Plugin – Mura’s Meister: Copies (Free to Use)
Optional - Eye Candy 3.1: Glow (Free to Use).

This tutorial is written using PSP X2, but should be easy to do on other versions. It is written assuming you have a general working knowledge of PSP.
Let’s get started!
First, open a new canvas 500 x 500.
Open Paper06, resize 50%, copy and paste it onto your canvas.
Apply boundlessbliss_grungemask_1, merge group.
Duplicate masked layer. Image>Mirror.
Open ChainLink2, resize 67%, copy and paste onto your canvas. It should be your top layer.
Duplicate ChainLink2, rotate 90 degrees left (Ctrl+R). Save your progress.
Add a small drop shadow to your chainlink layers. I used 3, 3, 55, 3, black.
Open GlitterBits2, copy and paste onto your canvas. It should be your top layer.
Apply Mura’s Meister: Copies using these settings:
Open Paper27, resize 50%, copy and paste onto your canvas. It should be your top layer.
Open Frame 19, resize 77%, copy and paste onto your canvas. It should be your top layer.
Activate your magic wand tool (tolerance & feather set to 0), click inside your frame.
Selections>Modify>Expand by 4. Selections>Invert.
Activate your Paper27 layer, hit delete. Selections>None. Save your progress.
Open your tube. I used the close-up here. Copy and paste it onto your canvas, below your frame, above Paper27.
Change the blend mode to Luminance & lower the opacity to 50.
Activate your magic wand tool (tolerance & feather set to 0), click inside your frame.
Selections>Modify>Expand by 4. Selections>Invert.
Activate your tube/close-up layer, hit delete. Selections>None. Save your progress.
Add a small drop shadow to your frame. I used 3, 3, 55, 5, black.
Open an element of choice. I used HeartCharm1. Arrange it at the top left corner of your frame.
Duplicate. Image>Mirror. Merge the two HeartCharm1 layers.
Add a small drop shadow to your charms. I used 3, 3, 55, 5, black.
Duplicate the merged charm layer. Image>Flip. Note the Position Y number. Undo the Flip. Now, change the Position Y number to the one you saw when you Flipped it. (This assures that it’s lined up and evenly spaced with the charms at the top of the frame, but keeps the hearts right side up.)
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. (I resized mine 80%). It should be your top layer.
Arrange how you like & add a drop shadow. I used 0, 5, 55, 8, black and 0, -5, 55, 8, black. Save your progress.
Add your name in font of choice. Apply gradient glow (optional) and / or drop shadow.
Add your credits and license number (if applicable).
Save as .png and you’re done!
