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

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up the template. Shift + D. Close out the original. Delete the credit layer. Click on the bottom layer. New Raster Layer. Send to bottom. Flood Fill white. Make canvas 700 X 700.

Highlight Black Shape layer. Select All/Float/Defloat. Copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. Selections/Invert. Hit the delete key. Delete the template layer. Add a slight Inner Bevel:

Highlight Line 2. Select All/Float/Defloat. Copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. Selections/Invert. Hit the delete key. Delete the template layer. Add the same slight Inner Bevel. Effects/Filter Unlimited 2/Paper Texture/Papyrus. Use the factory settings. Ok.

Repeat the above step with Layer Line 1.

Highlight Shape 1. Select All/Float/Defloat. Copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. Selections/Invert. Hit the delete key. Delete the template layer. Add the same slight Inner Bevel.

Repeat this next step for Heart Layers 1 & 2.
Create a gradient that will match your papers.
Angle 45
Repeat 2
Invert checked
Highlight a heart. Select All/Float/Defloat. New Raster Layer. Flood fill with the gradient. Effects/3D Effects/Cutout with the following settings:
Vertical and Horizontal: 3
Opacity & Blur: 25
Color: Black
OK.
New Raster Layer. Repeat the Cutout Effect accept change the vertical and horizontal to -3. OK.
Copy and paste your tube above the heart layer. Selections/Invert. Hit the delete key. Delete the template layer. Merge visible (or merge down, whichever you find easier) the cutout effect layers, tube, and heart layer.

Highlight Heart 3. Select All/Float/Defloat. New Raster Layer. Invert your gradient and flood fill. Apply the same Cutout Effect. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer just above the heart layer. Merge visible (or merge down, whichever you find easier) the cutout effect layers, tube, and heart layer.

Apply the embellishments. I used:
Satin Flower 3: Resize 25%. Duplicate. Resize 80%.
Butterfly 3: Resize 25%. Duplicate. Resize 80%.
Hearts 2: Resize 50%.
Calla lilies 4: Resize 50%.
Chicken 2: Resize 40%.

Highlight you white canvas. New Raster Layer. Select All. Copy and paste a paper choice Into Selection. Apply the mask. Merge Group. Resize 90%. Crop your image. Be sure you don’t crop any of the mask off…hehehe

Add your copyrights.

Add your name. I used Filters Unlimited 2 on my name with the same settings as before. Gave it the same inner bevel. I also added a little fun to my name by making a catapiller crawl through one of the letters.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
I would love to see your results and add them to my gallery.
