This tutorial was written assuming you have knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open a 650 X 650 transparent canvas. Flood fill white.

Copy and paste as a new layer a Heart Frame of choice.

Copy and paste a paper of choice. Selections/Invert. Hit the delete key.

Intensity: 33

Ok

Close out Frame 1 and highlight and open Frame 2. Apply Bright Noise but hit the mix button twice.

Close out Frame 2 and highlight and open Frame 3. Apply Bright Noice but hit the mix button three times. Close that layer out and re-open Frame 1.
