Ready??  Ok.  First... let's download and install the font.

Download My mask, frame, and your tube - Open them all

in PSP and minimize tube and mask for use later.

Working with the frame - Duplicate (shift D) and close out

the original.  Using your magic wand (feather and tolerance

set to 0) Click inside the frame, you'll notice some smaller

parts aren't selected.  (Make sure your magic wand is

set to Add/Shift) and click inside those parts as well.

Selections - Modify - Expand by 6.

Choose a paper from the kit and paste as new layer.

Selections - Invert - Delete.

Select none.

Now... you'll notice some smaller white parts,

Using your color dropper tool, choose a color

that best matches the spots you need to fill in.

Fill in using your paint brush.

(Make sure you're on the paper layer before

painting!)

Still on the paper layer - Select all - Float - Defloat - Invert.

Copy your tube (resize if needed)

Paste as new layer - Arrange to your liking.

Make sure this tube layer is below the frame layer.

Duplicate tube - Move copy above frame layer

and hide for now.

Back onto the bottom tube layer - Hit Delete.

Select none.

Unhide tube copy - Using eraser tool - Erase

the bottom parts of the tube until you see

the entire bottom part of the frame.

Add a drop shadow of 2, -2, 80, 8 - Black to frame layer.

Merge visible.

Now let's change our canvas size to 800 x 800 pixels

(This is so we have room to work with our mask)

Add a new layer, move to the bottom of tag - 

Selections - Select all.

Choose another paper from kit and paste

INTO selection.  Select none.

Go to Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image

(Source Luminance checked)

and choose Days Gone By Mask.

Apply - Merge group.

Open SP_Leaves from kit - Resize 70%

Copy and paste as new layer (make sure 

they are above mask layer, but below image layer)

Place onto the right side of the tag - Duplicate -

Mirror.  Merge visible.

Resize the image to your liking....add all 

copyright info and name.

Save as .png for a transparent background or

.jpg for a white background.

ALL DONE!!
