~Lets get started~
Open up template and turn off the credits layer.
From the kit open up El21.
Move to canvas and place just above the background layer.
Scale to about 33% and position so that none looks cut off. Some may be over the edge but I felt that that size showed up best.
Open El10 and move to canvas.
Right click the window layer and do select pixels.
EDIT>> FILL ... On the drop down menu click color. Choose a color from template.
SELECT>> DESELECT
Scale to about 26.69%. Dont click the check mark to be done yet. Just move it over to the left of the rectangle so that it shows just over it. Now take the right middle side of the scale box and drag it out so that it just comes out over the right side.
It should look something like this..
Now you may click the check mark.
Be sure this layer is under the El21 layer.
Open up tube of choice. If using the same as me, use the full body and scale to about 89.15%
Move to right side of temp. Be sure this layer is under the wordart layer. Position the tube so that the arrow in her hand is down farther on the letter U of the wordart.
About something like this...(ignore the black splatter we will get to that later)
Now duplicate the tube and do FILTER>> BLUR>> GAUSSIAN BLUR set at 2.0
Change the layer styler on the duplicated blurred layer to soft light.
Merge it down onto the original tube layer and duplicate once again. Move the top one above the wordart layer.
Get your eraser tool and erase everything that covers the word art except the arrow.
It should now look like this...(ignore the black splatter we will get to that later)
Open the close up part of the tube and move to canvas.
Do EDIT>>TRANSFORM>> HORIZONTAL FLIP
Move this tube layer just above the big pink circle layer. Position to liking.
Duplicate this tube and add you Gaussian blur just as we did earlier. Then change the layer style once again to soft light and merge down.
Move this layer now under the big pink circle layer.
CTRL + click on the preview window of the big pink circle layer.
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)
Highlight the tube layer and CTRL + X
Move that tube layer back on top of the circle layer.
Now open El33. Move to canvas and scale to about 19.98%. The do free transform to your liking.
Position on top of big pink circle layer and tube but move to the right so it is under the full body tube.
On the big pink circle add Xero>>Fritillary Settings at 5, 30, 10, 0
Also add Tramages>>Tow the line settings at 80, 54, 48, 9
Open EL13 and move to canvas. Scale to about 14.31% and rotate about -9.52 degrees.
Move the large heart and raster5 layers under the EL13 layer.
Move the small pink circle and frame to the right by the tubes butt and foot.
Add pent.com>>Jeans Settings 94, 2, 2 to the small pink circle.
Open El 28 and move to canvas. Scale to about 15.45%. Move on top of small circle frame.

Position that to your liking.
Open wd_sb_el24 and move to canvas.
Scale to about 18.17% and rotate 7.63 degrees.
Duplicate and move one of them under the circle 1layer.
Highlight the top one and erase the bottom part of the umbrella so that it looks like it is hanging off the circles. You should have something that looks like this...
NOTE: I wound up erasing the handle after doing the ex so feel free to do so or leave like this. It is up to you how you want it to look.
Open wd_sb_el9 and move to canvas.
Scale to liking and position under the top umbrella layer.
Open wd_sb_el11and move to canvas.
Scale to about 25.03% or to liking and move on top of the blue rectangle paper layer.

Open tube of choice. (close up is best) Move to canvas.
Position this layer above the stripped blue circle but below the umbrella and the el9 layers.
If you are using the same tube as me, you will notice that the tube is a bit smaller than the circle at the top and bottom. No worries. We will worry about that later.
Move tube to your liking and position inside strip circle as we did above with all the other papers.
Duplicate this tube layer and go to FILTER>> BLUR>> GAUSSIAN BLUR set at 2.0
Change the layer styler on the duplicated blurred layer to Soft light.
Change the original tube layer style to Lighten.
You should now have something that looks like this.
Open your second close up tube.
Move it under the left black rectangle. If you are using the same one as me, do a horizontal flip.
Position it so that the face is mostly visible. Do the same as we did above and add the tube into the rectangle. Add the Gaussian blur just like we did before. Change the duplicated blurred layer style to soft light.
Change the original tubes layer style to screen.
Duplicate these two tube layers then link them together. Then highlight all 4 of those layers and duplicate it. Then do horizontal flip and move into the right black rectangle, except move it over more so that the other eye of the tube shows more.
Move all 4 of those layers Under the right black rectangle layer.
CTRL + click on the preview window of the right black rectangle.
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)
Highlight the first tube layer and do CTRL + X
Keep doing this to the other 3 layers so that all the excess is gone.
Move these 4 layers back on top of the right black rectangle.
Highlight the glitter rectangle layer and change the hue and saturation to your liking. Be sure you do this to both the right and the left ones.
Open up your full body tube, scale to liking and position to bottom left.
