Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using a tube by KennyK.
This tube is available at
CDO

I am also using A Day In The Kitchen
scrap by Ladyhawwk Designs which can also be purchased
at CDO.

Mask by weescottlass
WSL_Mask3
Blog

Plugin
EyeCandy 4000 Gradient Glow

Open a 700x700 new image.
Open up your tube and scrap
supplies.

Choose a window element.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
Using your magic wand tool,
& holding the shift button down,
click inside the empty parts
of the window.

Selections modify expand by 5.
Add a new raster layer.
Fill with a light blue color of choice.
Open a flower vine element.
Paste as a new layer on one side
between the two layers.
Selections invert & press delete.
Select none. Duplicate the vine
once & mirror.

Open a desk table element.
Resize 50%.
Paste as a new layer & position
down in front of the window layers.
Duplicate once & arrange
side by side.Merge the two together.

Open a cupcake tray element.
Resize 50%. Paste as a new layer
& position on the desk table.

Open a coffee cup and resize 30%.
Paste on the desk table as well.
Open a pieceof fruit - resize 25%
and 80% once each.
Also paste on the table.
Oepn a mixing bowl element.
Resize 40%. Paste as new layer &
position as wanted on the desk table.

Open your tube of choice.
I mirrored mine but that is optional.
Paste as a new layer.
Position in front of the window
layers. Add a drop shadow to the tube
2,2,50,5 black.

Open a hanging hot pad element.
Resize 40%. Arrange to have it hang
from an end of the window on a side.
Using your eraser tool, set to a small
erase size, erase part of the hanging
loop on the hot pad. You want it to
appear to be hanging from the window.

Open a cafe wordart or one of choice.
Resize 40%. Paste near the bottom of your tag.
Add the earlier drop shadow to the wordart.

Now choose your font tool. Select a font of choice.
For your fill layer on your Materials palette, choose
a color from your tag to use.
Type out text of choice. I am using "Kitchen Window"
for mine.
Add a Gradient glow using EyeCandy 4000 Gradient Glow
setting fat glow width 3.00

Now still with the font tool, type out
text of choice up on the window.
I used "Welcome To".
I kept having Food Network in my head and the
opening of the shows. So I thought the text would work.
Convert to raster & add the drop shadow.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer
above the background layer.
Apply the mask WSL_Mask3.
Merge group.

Merge layers & resize 88%.
Add artist copyright information and name.
