Thank you Pixie for a really adorable kit.

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

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.

Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Lavendar Basket as a new layer.

Resize 80%

Make your Selection Tool active set on Rectangle.

Section off the basket part of the element:

Tap the delete key.

Deselect.

Duplicate/Flip

It didn’t look exactly like a circle to me, so move the bottom part of the basket handle up just a little to make a circle.

Merge Visible both basket handle layers.

Click inside the circle with your Magic Wand.

Selections/Modify/Expand by 4.

New Raster layer below the circle.

Copy and paste Paper 9 Into Selection.

Apply Photo Tools – Gradient Sky:

Use Default Settings.

OK

Copy and paste Easter Grass Border as a new layer below the frame.

Resize 70%

Selections/Invert

Tap the delete key.

Copy and paste Rooster as a new layer.

Resize 70%

Close out your white canvas.

Reopen your white canvas.

Move slightly to the right on your canvas.

Copy and paste Pansie Frame 5 as a new layer.

Resize 80%

Move behind the merged layer – see my tag for reference.

Click inside the frame with your Magic Wand.

Selections/Modify/Expand by 4.

New Raster layer below the frame.

Copy and paste Paper 6 Into Selection.

Deselect.

Copy and paste Folded Ribbon 6 as a new layer.

Move into position – see my tag for reference.

Use your Pick Tool to pull the bottom up just a little so you don’t see it stick out at the bottom.

Jellybeans 1 – 6:  Resize 10%/Use the Pick Tool to turn this way and that.
