Alrighty!! Let's open some things and get them ready to go

for when we need them. Download and open my word art

(don't forget to leave a thank you!) Minimize for later use.

Download and open the tube you're using, minimize.

Download and install both the font and the filter.

Ok. Let's go!

Open a new image in PSP - 700 x 700 pixels.

Open frame1 from kit - Copy and paste as new layer -

resize 85% (Make sure all layers are UNCHECKED)

Using your magic wand - Tolerance and feather set to 0,

click inside the frame. Selections - Modify - Expand

by 3. Choose a paper from the kit - Copy and paste

as new layer - Selections - Invert - Delete.

KEEP SELECTED!!!

Add a bunch of elements to the inside of the frame.

I used a bunch of balloons, the cake, shake, a few

gifts. All resized at different percentages.

If any of them go beyond the frame - Hit delete on each

layer to erase those parts. Once finished

adding elements - Select none.

Apply a drop shadow of 2, -2, 80, 8 - Black to

each element layer. Apply same shadow to frame.

Merge visible.

Open the tube you're using - Resize if needed.
If you're using the tube I used, Resize 65% -
Copy and paste your tube as new layer.
Apply same drop shadow we used before.

Go to the kit and grab all 4 flowers - Resize each by
30% - Copy and paste as new layer and arrange on
the frame as I have. Apply same shadow as before
to each flower layer. Move your tube above the flowers.
Merge visible.

Open circle wire 3 - Copy and paste as new layer -
Resize 105% (make sure all layers is UNCHECKED)
Move the circle wire to the bottom, below image.
Grab my word art - Copy and paste as new layer
arrange to the top of the frame.
Merge visible - Resize Image by 90%.
(Make sure all layers is UNCHECKED)
Duplicate image.

On bottom layer (of image) apply Filter
Factory D Shoutin'! settings :

Now add a gaussian blur of 6
And then add noise (Uniform, monochrome) of 70%.
Merge visible. Crop and resize image
to your liking..... add name and all copyright info
before saving.

Save as .png for a transparent background and
.jpg for a white background.

I hope you enjoyed this tut and it wasn't too confusing to you!!

Thanks :o)
