FTU kit called Her Teenage Rebellion. Get it at Scrap Rebellion.

Filters used:
Mura's Meister Copies

Fonts Used:
Dear Joe Four

Okay let's do this...
Open a new image size 600 by 600

C/P Barb Wire Frame (Element 55). Resize by 75%.

Use your magic wand tool to select inside the frame. (Don't forget the small bits). Selection, Modify, Expand by 5.

Add a new raster layer. C/P Paper 9 into selection.

Save your selection (Selections, Load Save Selection) under a name you can find again. Deselect.

Using your Sakkal Majalla font size 10 type our your text. I used "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to". Move this just below your frame layer.

Apply Mura's Meister copies with these settings...

Go to selections, Load Save Selection and load the frame selection we made earlier. Selection, Invert, Delete. Deselect.

C/P your tube layer. Add drop shadow. 

Position your words so that your can still read them.

Duplicate your frame layer. Move above your tube. Use your eraser tool to remove all the access frame. (Basically you just want enough to cover the bottom of the tube.)

Erase any excess bits of tube that stick out from under the frame.

C/P Both Splatter elements (Element 52 and 53). Resize by 50% each. Duplicate a few times and position along the right side of the frame layer.

C/P Kitty Sucker (Element 11). Resize by 50%. Position over the top or the swirl sucker. (I just didn't like the look of the top of the suckers. You can always just position it between the 2 swirl suckers.)

C/P Flames (Element 34). Resize by 50%. I used the manual Color correct (Adjust, Color Balance, Manual color correct.) Source color set to the center of the flames, Target to a color from my tube. Position at the bottom right corner. Duplicate a total of 4 times. Position 2 in the right corner. 

Position the remaining flames along the left side of your frame under the tube.

C/P Music Notes (Element 46). Resize by 40%. Move toward the bottom of the flames in the right corner.

Add Copyright and watermark.
