I decided to use the gorgeous Cure For The Blues by Steve Baier.

I then moved my tube where i liked it best on the heart.

Go to your layers on the right.
Move one of your tubes underneath the ribbon layer.

This will obviously depend on which tube you are using to what you would like to erase.
Open the flowers in the scrap kit.
You need to copy & paste this onto your tag.
I resized mine by playing around with the pixel dimensions until i was happy with the size of each flower.
Place these where you would like, this is your tag.
I placed mine at the top right hand corner of my heart.
Remember you can recolour the flowers to match your tag.
Copy & paste the diamond supplied.We are going to place one in the middle of each flower.
So once you are happy with the placement of the first diamond, layers, duplicate.
Move this one to the next flower.
Do this till all flowers have diamonds in the middle.
If you have overlapped the middle of your flowers, place a diamond onto the bottom flower & then move the diamond layer down on your side panel.
Until it is under the top flower.
Add one of your tags from your kit by copying & pasting.
Move this down in your layer pallette underneath all of your flowers.
It should be just above your tube.
