Supplies needed

Tube of choice
Font of choice
Mask of choice
Xenofex 2 - burnt edges
My scrap kit here

I used the wonderful art of Sonia Roji. You must purchase a licence to use her art, which can be done here

Lets begin!

1. Open a new canvas 600x600 and fill white.

2. Copy and paste one of the papers as a new layer, layers, load mask from disk, apply your mask of choice, delete the mask layer and click yes to the question asked, ungroup layers. I usually apply my mask twice to give it a more crisp edge but it's not neccessary.

3. Copy and paste another paper from the kit and with your selection tool, draw out a rectangle where your tube will sit, selections, invert, hit delete on your keyboard. selections, select none.

4. Effects, Xenofex 2 - burnt edges with the default settings, but change the colour of the burnt edges to a colour to compliment your paper, I choose a greyish colour, add a drop shadow of choice.

5. make your mask layer active and copy and paste another paper from your scrap kit, this time grab your selection tool, and draw out a few rectangles horizontally, i drew out 5 of varying sizes and staggered them, selections, invert, hit delete on your keyboard, selections, celect none, add a drop shadow of choice.

6. Effects, xenofex 2 - burnt edges, same settings and colour as before.

7. Make your top paper layer active and copy and paste one of the buttons as a new layer, add a drop shadow, duplicate and place them around your top rectangle layer.

8. Copy and paste one of the little scrap papers as a new layer and place it at the top near either corner of your rectangle, image, rotate, 20 degrees left, copy and paste the pin as a new layer, image, rotate, 25 degrees right, place it over your little scrap and delete some of it so it looks like the pin is going through it.

9. I added a small ribbon and staple at this point, you can add any extras you like.

10. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, add a drop shadow of choice.

11. Add your copyright information, watermark, and your name, your all done.
