**CT PTU TUTORIAL - My Heart...**

*This tutorial is written by me using Photoshop CS6 but any version will work.
Any similarity to any other tut is coincidental.*


Supplies:
Tube of choice. I'm using the artwork of Spazz.
You must purchase a license to be able to use their work.
You may do that at SpazzdArt store.
Kit of choice. I'm using PTU kit 'My Heart For You'
by A Space Between. You can find it HERE.
Mask of choice. DD_WinterMask_10

Let's get started...
Open new canvas 440x660.
First we gonna add the tube and place it in the center, little more
to the top canvas. With Drop Shadow, Opacity 55%. Then click on the
'background' layer. We'll add mask now. Open your mask as new image.
Mask layer will be called 'Background' and will be locked. 
Double click on same layer, press OK. Layer name will be 'Layer 0'.
Add a new layer above it and flood fill with color of choice,
or use a paper from kit . I use Paper #3. Click on mask layer
and hold CTRL+A to Select All, CTRL+C to Copy. Click on the paper
layer, hit Q to turn on Quick Mask mode. CTRL+V to paste the mask.
It should now be kinda red. Hit Q to turn off Quick Mask mode and
there should be shown selection on your canvas.  Hit the Add Layer Mask.
On paper layer, right click and Convert to Smart Object. Right click
again and Rasterize Layer. Drag completed mask to your tag canvas
as the bottom layer. Resize it if needed. Then from the kit past
Element #30, rotate a little and place at the right side with Drop
Shadow, Opacity 40%. Make a copy of it, Flip Horizontal and place
at the left side. Between those two place Element #38, shadow.
Now add 2 copies of Element #26 on the right frame side with shadow.
On it add 2 copies of Element #53 with shadow on 40%. And then
place Element #24 on it, shadow. On the frame left side, where's
tube elbow, add Element #26 and on it #53 with shadow on both.
Under it place Element #8, shadow. On it past Element #33 with
shadow. Make a copy of it, Flip Horizontal and place on the right
side. Next to it add Element #8, shadow. On it add Element #53 with
shadow on 40%. Make a copy of, Flip Horizontal and place at the
left. Then add 2 copies of Element #43, one on left and other on
the right side of the tube. Drop Shadow on both. On both of those
place a copy of Elements #47 and #40 with shadow on all. Now click
on tube layer. On the right side add Element #5, shadow. And on
the left place Element #47 with shadow. At the bottom, between
two black circles, place 2 copies of Element #53 with shadow.
On them add 2 copies of Element #60. On the bottom right past

on the left add Element #22. Above it place Element #59, shadow.
Add Element #46 on it with shadow. Make a copy of it, Rotate 180
and place on the right side. Above that one place Element #37,
shadow. Cover the ribbons with Element #61, shadow. Add Element #9,
rotate a little and place it at the center, a bit more to the
left. Using Eraser Tool remove the ribbon from it and then shadow.
On it place Elements #23 and #35 with shadow. Next to it place
