For this tutorial I have used the Vintage Dreams kit from Scrappin Bratz that was made in honor of Jillann the former Scrappin Bratz owner which can be purchased HERE

• Open paper 26 or whichever one you would like to use as your frame. Resize to 25%
• Open a blank 800x800 canvas transparent
• Using your preset tool, Draw a shape you would like to use as your frame. I used a dodecagon. I placed it from 100 to 700 in both directions.
• Flood fill this with your paper of choice, merge visible
  
• Draw another of the same shape inside the previous one. Using the freehand selection tool Follow your shape around and then hit delete to make the inside gone.

• Open another paper for your background inside your frame, Resize to 15% and place inside your frame.
• While having the frame layer selected create a drop shadow I used 2, 2, 100, 10 black.
• To fill your frame you are going to want to resize each element you wish to use to around 20% to start with, you can use what ever you would like I have used the moon, bench, rain, and Ivy all with the same drop shadow as above.
• Resize your canvas to 70%
• Paste as a new layer on a fresh 800x800 canvas.
• Place your bird(s) of choice on the top with a drop shadow
• Place a branch on the left side under the frame layer, Duplicate, Mirror, Merge Down, Drop Shadow.
• Using your flowers of choice make a nice arrangement and place it over the frame at the bottom. Add a drop shadow.
• Add anything else you would like at this time, including all copyrights and wording.
