Remember, my tutorials are only a guideline, let your imagination free :)
Materials needed:
-A scrapkit of choice, I used:
from Honored Scraps @ Whimsical Divas called: Just Breathe
-A mask of choice: I used one of my own, FL-Mask076, download here
-A tube of choice: I used ©Aleksandra @ MTA


Let's begin...


Open a new image 600x600 transparant.
Selections, select all.
Copy paper08 and paste into selection.
Select none.
Apply the mask you want to use.
Merge group.

Now here is something different, instead of telling you where to put all the elements I have made a tag-build-up animation to show you how I did mine.
The original idea for this animation comes from René Kunert aka giZZy, and I was given permission to use it in my tutorials, Thank you giZ you're the best!!

The animation starts after I have applied the mask.

Paste your tube, give everything a drop shadow as desired 
Add the correct copyright & license info after you have resized!
