Thank you to Susan Gabriel, of Sue Angel Designs,
for allowing me to use her pretty organza bow.
Susan is a member of The Designers Team for Mangels Designs.
The bow is from Susan's 'Sherbet Bows and Tags'Collection.
I chose the 'green grunge bow'.
You may visit Susan's site by clicking on the banner below...
Just go to her site and click on the 'MORE'sign under 'Page Kits',
and you'll find the bows in the 'Sherbet and Shorts Kit'.
I always work in Layers - this gives you the opportunity
to change things, delete things, or move things around,
as you proceed with your design.
Ok, Let's get started...
Remember to save often.
1. Open all the supplies listed above.
Windows - Duplicate. Close the originals.
Scroll to view at 100%.
Using the Selection Tool, set to square, select a large portion
of each of the 'Textured Papers'.
On the Mangels Designs - Textured 8-15 paper,
shift-D, to duplicate it.
We're going to colorize the copy.
Adjust - Hue and Saturation - Colorize.
Hue - 117
Saturation - 10.
Minimize everything in your workspace in psp.
2. Open a new transparent image - 800 x 800px.
Floodfill this layer with the Textured 8-15.
Angle - 0
Scale - 100
We want the darker shade on both the left and right edges .
Selection Tool - Set to square.
Draw the selection to include the darker tone on both
the left and right edges.
Image - Crop to selection.
Your working image will now be a smaller square.
Image - Resize - 750 x 750 px.
Resize - All Layers - TICKED.
3. Effects - Plugins - AAA Filters - Scatter.

Repeat this effect one more time.
4. In the Layer Palette, Right-click on layer 1,
Duplicate.
On the duplicated layer - Image - Free Rotate - 90 degrees to the Right.
See settings below...
*NOTE* As rotating an image, always causes
a dullness, or fuzziness, on the image,
you should always sharpen your image, after using it.
5. Layers - Load/Save Mask - Load mask from disk.
Choose the 'Ancient Paper' Mask.
See settings below...
6. Effects - 3D effects - Drop Shadow.
See settings below...
Repeat the 'drop Shadow', except change the V and H to minus 1.

Floodfill this layer with Textured 1-2.

Except this time, UNTICK the Invert Transparency Box.

Resize all layers - UNTICKED.
10. Repeat Step 6 - the drop shadow.

20. In your layer palette,
close of all of the layers, except for the

Reduce the opacity of this layer to 79,
or to a setting that suits your particular photograph.
22. Still on the same layer,
R-click - Duplicate.

We want the pretty backgrounds to peek through.
Move this layer into place as you see in my final.
It is a little difficult to see,
but I think you can get the idea.
