Thank for you for trying my newest tutorial.  This one has to have some knowledge of Paint Pro Shop.  If this looks like anything like other tutorials, it is by pure conicidence.  This tutorial was written by Amanda Carter on April 14th,2011.  Now let's get started.

Supplies Needed:
Paint Pro Shop

Tube of choice, I am using art from Jakob Kramer and his gallery is found here, contact him about the use of his tubes and how to get them.

Now let's begin this tutorial.

Open your tube in Paint Pro Shop ( your gonna need it later).
Open your template.
Delete the credits.
Select the Oval, go to select all, float and then defloat.
Select a paper and paste as a new layer and then invert, then delete and merge down, make sure you select none. ( I picked paper 1)
 Now select circle2 and do the same as you did above only with a different paper.(ex: I picked paper 2).
Your gonna do that to the rest of them until you get to the hearts.

Now were gonna select each heart and do the same as above only we are gonna add some noise to them.  Make sure both hearts are the same color.  To add noise go to adjust, and then select the add/remove noise and we are gonna use these settings:  Uniform, 25, Monochrome checked.
Now we are gonna do the Love wording.  (Pick a bright color).  Do the same as above only change the settings to your noise. (I did mine, Uniformed, 30, with Monochrome picked.) (I also picked paper 3.)

Now we are gonna do the elements.
Go to Frame 4, and copy and paste as a new layer and resize as desired.(I resized by 45%).
Now add your tube inside the frame. (Resize as needed I resized mine to 25%, and put at the end of the word Love).
I then added the element 2hearts. Resize and then add to any corner of your tag.Then add a dropshawdow of choice. (I used settings.. H-3,V-3,Opacity25,Blur 3.00,Color Black)
Do the same thing with the cake element.

Now that you did that pick a paper and use that for your font color and place your text. Then dropshawdow it and then put some noise in it.
Go to your background,select all, then pick a paper and paste it into your selection, then select none.
Apply your mask, merge mask and then your done.(Remember to merge your layers together.)

Put your credits and copyright information and then your done.

Now we are gonna select the black frame and do as above, with any paper choice(I used paper 8), then again do the invert and delete,then merge down.
We are now gonna go to small blue frame bg and do the same as above, only instead of deselecting we are gonna stay there and add something in there. (Now if you wanna use the same paper as me I am using paper2), we are now gonna add one of the puppies found in the elements area.
I added puppy 3 and resized it by 30 percent and then merge down.
Now select your word art and then select all, and flood fill with the color of choice (hint:your might wanna pick a color from your tube,I am using color #4f0d83).
