This tutorial was written assuming you have working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Frame 2 as a new layer.
Resize 70%
Click inside of it with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 6.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.

We’re going to add the embellishments that belong inside the frame. See my tag for reference as to where they go. Parts of the elements will be sticking out from behind the frame…it’s ok…we’ll take care of that in a bit.

Graas 1
