Lets Begin :

Always remember that you are not only limited to use what elements are in my tutorials, you can put any of the elements from this kit onto your tag, so play around with them & have fun!! 

Start by opening your Template 34, Now go to your layers pallet & delete the following layers :

Background, Square 2 & Border 2, 

Also delete the Credit layer AFTER you have left a thank-you on the designers blog.

Now Open Paper 10 from the kit (or a paper of your choice)

In your layers pallet make sure you are on the last layer - Then copy & paste your paper as a new layer - Then in your layers pallet, move your Paper layer down so that it is the last layer in your layers pallet.

Now apply a mask of your choice.

Once you apply your mask, go back to your layers pallet, right click on your mask layer - click Merge, then click Merge Group.

Now using your move tool, move your Mask on your canvas so that it is in the upper left corner behind your template. Then in your layers pallet, right click on your mask layer - then click Duplicate. Go to Image - click Flip Horizontal. Then using your move tool move your Duplicated mask to the upper right corner behind your template.

Now in your layers pallet, right click on your top mask layer - click Merge - then click Merge Down.

Then right click on your newly merged Mask layer - click Duplicate.

Then on your keyboard, press your delete key 1 time.

Go back to Selections & click Select None.

Go to your layers pallet & delete your ORIGINAL "Pink Circle" layer.

You will follow the steps above for EACH layer of your template. I have listed below what papers from my kit that I used :

Black Oval 1 Layer - Paper 12

Black Oval 2 Layer - Paper 11

Grey Rectangle Layer - Paper 9

White Rectangle Layer - Paper 2

Circle Border Layer - Paper 10

Black Circle Layer - Paper 1 (I re-sized this paper to 80% before clicking Invert)

Square 1 Layer - Paper 12

Square Border 1 Layers - Paper 8

Now lets add some elements :

Open your Girl 1 element - Copy & paste it onto your canvas as a new layer - re-size to approx 80% (or to your liking)

Go to Effects - click 3D Effects - Click Drop Shadow - adjust your settings to your liking. click Ok.
