Supplies:
Tube of choice. I am using a gorgeous tube by Zebrush from PFD. If you would like to use the same tube, you can purchase it at Picsfordesign PFD

Scrapkit - I used a kit called So Angelic which the awesome Kittz made. This kit is no longer available, but you really only need a ribbon and some stars

Mask - I used Becky's mask 042, which is no longer available. Any mask will be fine.

Font of choice, I used Jayne Print YOFF.

Let's start!

Open a new canvas 800 x 800. Floodfill white.

Copy and paste Corner Bow. Duplicate, Image Mirror, Image flip. Merge down. Use your deform tool to stretch out the width a little.

Use your freehand selection tool to draw along the frame. Copy and paste paper 12 as a new layer. Re-size 80%. Selections, invert, delete, select none.

Duplicate your frame. Copy and paste your tube between the two frame layers. On the top frame layer, erase parts of the frame so your tube is half within and
half outside the tube. See my tag if this isn't clear! You'll need to
erase bits of the tube that is outside the frame as well. Crop. Drop shadow the
lower frame layer.

On the tube, effects, xero radiance. Just hit random to get something
you like. Duplicate the tube and on the copy, adjust blur, gaussian
blur 3. Change the blend mode to soft light, and drop shadow on the
original layer.

Copy and paste glass stars above your background layer. Re-size 50%, drop
shadow.

Copy and paste a paper of choice above the background layer and
load mask, merge group.

Crop your tag and re-size. Add some sparkles!
