STEP 1

Open a new transparent image 800x500. Add a layer and fill with #FAFFEB, colour I use for the results page.

STEP 2: Elements and tube

ssam_POG_FlowerFrame: Add this flower frame as a new layer.

Duplicate this layer. Colorize in orange #DE9743 or one of your tube colours.
Adjust > Hue and Saturation > Colorize
Hue: 22 and Saturation: 179.
Move this new layer under the other one and apply a free rotation - Image > Free rotation to the right of 10°.

             Activate the top frame layer and click inside with the magic wand.
Selections > Modify > Increase by 10 pixels.
Copy paste Paper 8.
Selections > Invert > Delete.
Move this paper layer under the two frames.
Resize the top part of your tube and add as a new layer.
Hit Delete to get rid of the parts outside the frame.
Selections > Select None.

Activate the top frame layer.

ssam_POG_Ribbon3 : Image > Mirror and paste as a new layer.

ssam_POG_Flowers1: Position on the left. I colorized some of the flowers. Click on Zoom In More and using the lasso tool - Point to Point, go right around the flower, left clicking every so often and right clicking at the end.
Use the same Hue and Saturation as before.

ssam_POG_luckyclover3 and ssam_POG_luckyclover8: resized to 45%. Position at the bottom on the right and left of the frames and ribbon.

Flowers: As many as you like. Resize them to 45%. And colorize some of them, same Hue and Saturation as before.

  ssam_POG_RibbonBow1 and ssam_POG_RibbonBow2: resized to 45% and placed on the right. I colorized Ribbon2 in orange, same Hue and Saturation as before.

ssam_POG_Butterfly1: resize to 30% and placed on the left. Duplicate. Colorize this layer in orange and move slightly below.

Add your tube. I selected and deleted the bit of ssam_POG_Ribbon3 that you could see behind the head.

STEP 3: Resize all layers to 80%

STEP 4: Effet Transmission

Close the background layer and merge visible all the other layers. Increase your canvas size - Image > Canvs size, to 640x415.
Image > Duplicate this layer.
Activate the bottom layer and apply a Gaussian Blur. Adjust > Blur > Gaussian Blur of 10.

Then apply VM Extravaganza > Transmission.
 
Activate the top layer.

STEP 5 - Text Lil' Leprechaun or to your choice.

Lil': Font Pristina, size 32. Bold. In green #365417.
Apply an Inner Bevel


and a Gradient Glow. Effects > Eye Candy 4000 > Gradient Glow



Image > Free rotation left 8°.

Leprechaun: Font Pr Celtic Narrow in size 54. Bold. In green #365417.
Apply the same Inner Bevel.
Then drop shadow on both words.

V = 2	O = 40
