3. Click back on your background layer, and click on your shape tool, draw out a circle to fit inside your hearts layer, use a dark colour from your tube for your inner colour, outer null, convert to raster

4. Effects, xenofex 1.1 distress, edge width 60, irregularity 50, edge type rough

5. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, rezize to fit inside your hearts if necessary.

6. Make your text layer active and duplicate it, on the original, not the copy, effects, dsb flux, linear transmission slice - 1, offset - 4, blend - 50, Horizontal checked, I didnt add a drop shadow to this layer, but you can if you prefer ;o)

7. Make your circle layer active and add a new raster layer, decorate it with brushes of choice.
