Thank you Gina for a really amazing fairy 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 Round Frame 2 as a new layer.
Click inside of it with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 6.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste the Paper 1 Into Selection.
Deselect.

We’re going to add the elements below the frame. They’ll still out from the edges of it, but that’s ok. We’ll clean it all up in a bit.

Copy and paste Rope Bridge as a new layer below the frame.
Resize 70%
Move into position - see my tag for reference.

Copy and paste Sparkle Trail 1 as a new layer below the frame.
Resize 70%
Move into position - see my tag for reference.

Copy and paste Moon as a new layer.
Resize 25%
Move into position.

Highlight the paper layer.
Click anywhere outside of it with your Magic Wand.
Highlight each of the elements that are below the frame and tap the delete key.
Deselect.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
Give it a drop shadow.
Give it an exaggerated drop shadow on a layer of it’s own.

Add your embellishments. I used:

Ribbon 4: Resize 80%

Highlight your white background.

Choose the colors your want your text to be.
I used:
Foreground: Black

Make your Text Tool active and run your curor along the edge of the circle where you want your name. When you see a Rocking A click your mouse. A text box will appear.
Type your name.
Apply.
In your layers pallet click on the plus sign.
Close out the New Ellipse layer.
Highlight the top layer.
Convert to Raster layer.
