This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used Night Bird by Chaos Priestess.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Keith Garvey which requires a license which may be purchased at his store.

Mask of choice, I used KBH_2012_Mask18, one I made myself and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Honeybird.

Filters: 

Xero ~~ Porcelain

Mura Meisters ~~ Copies

Eyecandy 4000 ~~ Gradient Glow

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750 you can re-size later.

Copy and paste a paper from your kit and apply your mask.(Layers, Load/Save Mask, Load Mask from Disk)

Merge the group (Layers, merge, merge group).

Begin by placing your tube and adding a drop shadow of 0,0,100,10 

Apply Porcelain with these settings or those that fit your tube:

Duplicate the tube layer and add a Gaussian blur (Adjust, Blur, Gaussian Blur) of 3.

Adjust the properties to Soft Light (Layers, Properties, Soft Light).

Begin placing your elements re-sizing and adjusting transparency as needed.

You may use my tag as a guide or go your own way.

Apply Porcelain to different elements for variation and to highlight different elements.

Play with the settings depending on the element.

Using flower elements place then merge down and apply Copies with these settings:

Now place foliage as desired and duplicate and mirror as desired.

Repeat this with ribbon elements.

Re-size and rotate your elements to suit your tube, and as always try something new.

You may add a drop shadow and Gradient glow as desired. I used the same drop shadow as above.

For the clock element apply your drop shadow and Porcelain with the above settings.

Once you have achieved your vision re-size and add your copyright.

Save your tag.

Add your name and you have completed my tutorial.

Thank you for trying my tutorial.
