Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
Open a new transparent image 200 x 170 pixels.
Select your Preset Shapes and choose Heart 1, line width 7, Stroke 7, Background Null.
Draw out a heart to fit the canvas and convert to raster layer.
Apply Eye Candy 5 Impact - Chrome using the Gold preset. If you don't have Eye Candy 5 you could apply a Super Blade Pro preset of your choice.
Go to Adjust - Hue and Saturation and adjust it to match your tube.
Minimize for now.
Step 2:
Open a new image 500 x 500 and fill with white.
Add a new Raster layer and select your Airbrush tool.
With the settings shown below
Using different colours from your tube make some dots all over your canvas as shown below.
Go to Image - Picture Frame and apply the Picture Frame of you choice or use a mask of your choice.
Layers - merge all visible.
Step 3:
Copy and paste the heart we made earlier as a new layer.
Duplicate twice for a total of 3 hearts.
Use your mover tool to position them where you want. I lined mine up down the left side.
Rename the top one Heart 1, rename the middle one Heart 2 and rename the bottom one Heart 3.
Select your Magic Wand - Feather and Tolerance 0 and click inside Heart 1.
Go to Selections - Modify expand by 3.

Select your Magic Wand again and click inside Heart 2.

Apply the same Drop Shadow.
Select your Magic Wand again and click inside Heart 3.
Go to Selections - Modify expand by 3.
Add a new raster layer and flood fill with the same medium colour. Rename Heart Back 3.
Apply the same Drop Shadow.
Rearrange your layer palette as shown below.
Step 4:
With your magic wand click on Heart Back 1.
Copy and paste one of your close ups (or your jpg) as a new layer.
Use your mover tool to move into position so the area you want to see in the heart is inside the selected area. Resize if necessary.
Once you are happy with the placement, go to Selections - Invert - Delete.
Apply Xero Porcelain with the following settings
Lower the opacity of that layer to 72 and rename Fill 1.
With your magic wand click on Heart Back 2.
Repeat the above. Rename Fill 2.
With your magic wand click on Heart Back 3.
Repeat the above. Rename Fill 3.

Click on the top layer (Heart 3) to activate it then copy and paste your tube as a new layer. Rename Tube. Add the same Drop Shadow we used earlier.
Add a new raster layer and add any brushes of your choice.

Horizontal: 1
Opacity: 50
Blur: 7
Colour: Black

Step 6:
Click on Fill 1 to activate it and use your mover tool to move it to the right for now.
Move Fill 2 up to where Fill 1 was and make sure you move it beneath Heart 1 in the layer palette.
Move Fill 3 up to where Fill 2 was and make sure you move it beneath Heart 2 in the layer palette.
Move Fill 1 (which you moved to the right earlier) down to where Fill 3 was and make sure you move it beneath Heart 3 in the layer palette.

Back in PSP click on Fill 2 to activate it and use your mover tool to move it to the right for now.
Move Fill 3 up to the top heart and make sure you move it beneath Heart 1 in the layer palette.
Move Fill 1 up to the middle heart and make sure you move it beneath Heart 2 in the layer palette.
Move Fill 2 (which you moved to the right earlier) down to the bottom heart and make sure you move it beneath Heart 3 in the layer palette.
