PTU Tutorial: Autumn in the City

This Tutorial was written by me, any resemblance to another tutorial is completely unintentional. I am using Photoshop CS5 for this tutorial. Tube  Element from kit Scrap Kit "Autumn in the City" by Creative Scraps by Crys  Font Dawning of a New Day  Mask  DD_Mask11 

Now let's get started.
Open up a new canvas at 650x650.
Bring in your "tube"- I used an element provided in the kit- AITC_Element_17 I didn't use any filters, and this is a pretty simple tutorial, so all you need is to drag and drop the elements, resize to your liking and then add your drop shadow.  
First I opened up the AITC_Frame_1 and rotated to my liking. Then I brought in the AITC_Element_17 again at a larger size and then positioned under the frame. Duplicate that 3 times and position her face in the frames and then with one frame at a time, use your magic wand to select the inside, Select> Modify>Expand...3. Select>Inverse. Hit delete with your keyboard and then do it again with each remaining frame.
These are the elements I used:

AITC_Element_2

AITC_Element_5

AITC_Element_11 x2

AITC_Element_12

AITC_Element_21

AITC_Element_23

AITC_Element_30

AITC_Element_32

AITC_Element_34

AITC_Element_38

AITC_Element_42 x3

AITC_Element_43 x2

AITC_Element_44 x2

AITC_Element_51 x2

AITC_Element_52

I used a drop shadow like so:

Now for the mask!

I opened AITC_Paper_1 and resized it to 650x650.

Then I opened up the mask by Dee and used my Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the layers box. 

After that I rasterized it and dragged it over to my tag canvas. 

Rotate to your liking and then bring down to the bottom layer. 

For the name I used the font Dawning of a New Day at 72 px. in white.

Then I used stroke and picked the color from the leaf on the frame at 2 px and 90 opacity.
Then I did the drop shadow like above.

Add your copyright and there you go! 

You're all done!

Do the same for the  original and Layer 3, so that they are cropped inside the circles.  Duplicate the close up again, and drag so it is positioned above the Layer 5.  Position to your liking, duplicate, flip horizontally, and then position to where there are no empty spaces inside the layer.  Merge with the first layer and then hit ALT on your keyboard as you click between the template  layer and the merged close up.  Now you will want to create a gradient, I made my first one like so: 

With the colors #b4ce2b and #86639d. Select the inside of your Layer 5 of the template with your magic wand  and put your gradient across it.  Now duplicate the merged close up layer.  Filter >Blur > Gaussian Blur...6.  Make that layer black and white and then make it have Screen for the blending mode.  For the bottom layer, Luminosity blending mode.  Now go back down to your Layer 3 of the template and create another gradient  the same way as before but using the colors #f6ea5a and #445f0e. magic wand and follow the steps as before, but don't make the duplicated layer black and white.   Duplicated layer- Screen blending mode Main layer- Soft Light and lower opacity to 65%.  Do the same to Layer 4.
