Open Paper 1, copy
Paste 'into' the selection on working image.
Deselect. Apply mask. Merge group.
Open element 67_b C/P
Open element 3_c, resize 75%  C/P
Open Spray_7, resize 75%  C/P
Using magic wand, tolerance 10,
click inside center of element 3_c

add a new raster layer
open Gradient C/Paste 'into' the selection. 
Invert selection
Open face tube of choice,
resize as required, C/P as a new layer
Press delete on keyboard to remove excess.
Deselect.
Change face tube layer blend mode to 'Luminance L'
Duplicate face tube, change blend mode to 'soft light'
duplicate face tube again, change blend to 'screen'
and reduce opacity to 40.
To add texture to face,
open texture supplied. Rotate all layers 90 degrees to left.
C/P as topmost layer 
Change blend mode to 'overlay'
Select gradient layer  (found below all face tube layers)
 using magic wand, click outside of area around gradient
Revert back to texture layer & press delete on keyboard.
Invert selection 
Find layer with element 67_b & press delete on keyboard.
This will eliminate the green ribbon portion of element 67_b.

From here on forward, add elements to your liking to make it
your own creation.
I used element 63 - 75%, duplicate 75% mirror
eraser bottom end of stem if needed
element 68 - 50%
element 9 - 25%, duplicate & mirror
spray 6 C/P
spray 4 50%, C/P

element61_a  50% C/P, duplicate 3 more times, flip & mirror
to frame the face as you prefer
element 49 - 75%, duplicate & mirror
element 62 - 50% C/P
element 4 - 25% C/P

Add very light dropshadow to all elements
ie.  1/2/35/5 blur, color #303030
except element 67_b and main tubes

Add main tube, position to right of working image 
resize 75% or greater depending on tube

using same mask as above DD_NFM2020_2
apply mask to tube, merge group.
duplicate, change blend mode to 'screen'
and reduce opacity to 67.
Apply blur - guassian blur of 3.

Optional, I also added another tube layer below
the gradient layer, which sits midline of the tag
behind the lace element 67_b
Simply open tube, resize to liking
C/P below gradient layer. 
Apply mask to this tube, merge group.  change blend mode to 'overlay'
Duplicate, change blend mode to 'soft light'

Add word art supplied C/P

If you wish to resize, do so now

Add copyright, URL, watermark & name



Hint: to check for stray pixels from any of the above layers,
add a new raster layer above the white background layer
flood fill black. Use eraser tool to erase any extra pixels
Delete black layer

Close or delete the white background layer. 

merge visible, crop 'merged opaque'
& save as a PNG

I will Remember You Tonya
