Ok are you ready ?? Take a deep breath , lets go and follow me :)))

Step 1

Foreground on  #d1c9d5  , background on #f0ecf2

Open the  flowerconnieger psp image (the selection is in the alpha channel. There's only the multicolored pattern on the image you open.  :)) lol

Adjust -- Hue and Saturation -- fill in the hue and saturation values, 198 and 32,

of your foreground color.

Change the opacity of this layer to 80%

in your Layers Palette.

Layers -- Merge -- Merge All.

(You will find this step a but confusing, since you only have one layer, right?

But you will see when you merge it that the background becomes lighter.

When you merge it, a white background is added, which makes it lighter.)

Effects-->  Edge Effects -- Enhance

Step 2

New raster layer.

Change your foreground color to gradient: style linear, angle 45, repeats 3,

invert  not checked.

 Selections --> Load the flowerconnieger selection from your alpha channel

and fill with your gradient.

Deselect

Step 3

New raster layer

Change your foreground color to the gold pattern

and fill the layer with it.

Selections -- Load the

flowerconnieger1 from your alpha channel

Selections -- Invert.

Press delete on your keyboard - that is a easier than filling

everything :))

Layers --> Arrange --> move down

Drop Shadow 1/1/42/ 0  with this color #4e3f57

Step 4

Activate your top layer.

Foreground color on gold.

Background on this color  #d1c9d5

Activate your Preset Shape tool and find the "p" preset shape

with these settings:

Now draw an oval like this:

Arrange it it neatly so that you have the same space above and below it

on the canvas.

 Convert the vector layer to raster layer

Click with your Magic Wand in the lilac part between the two

gold ribbons

Filter --> Flamingpear --> Super Blade Pro  -->Clear Glass

( If you can't see the preset in SBP, change the file name from  q5q to q9q)

Adjust --> Hue and Saturation -- Colorize, and fill the H and S values of your

foreground in. It should be  198/32

Deselect.

Step 5

Foreground on  #d1c9d5,  background on #f0ecf2

Change your foreground to gradient: style linear; Angle 45; Repeats 3.

Invert checked !!!

Click in the center of your oval and fill with your gradient.

Deselect.

Merge All layers.

Step 6

Open your tube susan 1090

Resize to 70% ( resize all layers checked)

Image -- Mirror.

Edit -- Copy

Edit -- Paste as new layer onto the canvas,

Position it against the border you have made in step 2.:))

You will notice a slight border on the top border of the flower,

don't worry, we will fade it out now.

Activate your Eraser Tool -- on round, size 32, hardness on 25

and click a few time on the border of the flower.

Look at my example tag above.

Apply a drop shadwo 0,15,42,5 with this color #4e3f57

Activate the tube layer

Layers --> Duplicate

Image --Mirror

Resize to  70 % resize all layers not checked

Layers -- Arrange -- Move Down

Drag your tube with your Mover tool slightly to the top

so that it forms a mirror image of the other tube.

Erase the parts that overlaps the border.

Reduce the opacity of this layer to  26%

Merge layers visible.

Step 7

Open your flowcongerframe 3

Copy and paste as new layer.

Add your name and you're finished. :))

I wrote this tutorial with love.

This lesson can be freely used.

All  I asked is that you only link it and not copy it,

since it takes a long time and a lot of effort to write a tutorial.

 Since I am under a lot of pressure with other work, I cannot

respond to personal emails.

However, you are welcome to ask any questions on my  PSP groep

" Ger's Psp Café" .
