I have a new tutorial for you today featuring the artwork of VeryMany and the gorgeous kit  "Wild West" by P-O Concept.  The kit can be purchased at S&Co.  Please do not use the tube or kit that I've used without purchasing them.

Supplies

Paint Shop Pro - I use version 9, but this should work in all versions.

Animation Shop

Eye Candy 4000 - HSB Noise

Tube of choice

Scrap kit "Wild West" by P-O Concept

Mask - JustFi_Mask_001 by Fiona

1.  Open a new canvas 800 x 800.  I'm starting out big, so I have lots of room to work with.
2.  Open element P-O wi2 and paste as a new layer.
3.  Using your magic wand with the tolerance and feather set to 0, click inside your frame.
4.  Selections>Modify>Expand by 3.
5.  Copy and paste paper P-O wipp6 as a new layer.
6.  Invert your selection and hit delete on your keyboard.  Keep selected.
7.  Open your close up and paste as a new layer.
8.  Position where you like within the frame and hit delete on your keyboard.
9.  Drag both of these layers under your frame layer.
10.  On your close up layer change the blend mode to Luminance and the opacity to 60.
11.  Duplicate your paper layer two times for a total of 3 layers.
12.  On your bottom paper layer, apply Eye Candy 4000 HSB Noise with the following settings.

13.  Repeat HSB Noise on the other two paper layers with the same settings, but hit the random seed button once on each layer.  Hide the top 2 layers for now.
14.  Apply a drop shadow to your frame.  I use H &V:2  O: 50 B:5
15.  Add your tube as a new layer and drop shadow.
16.  Add the elements you like and add a drop shadow to each of them.  Below are the elements I used.  You can use my tag as a reference for where I placed them.
