Step 1

Open your Yvonneger psp image

Foreground color on #613a2a

Background color on #eec9ba (Invert checked)

Gradient-->linear;

repeat 0

( the dark color must be on top)

Fill the canvas with the color.

Change the settings of the gradient to angle 45, repeat 0

Fill the selection with the gradient

Adjust --> Sharpness --> Sharpen

Adjust --> Sharpness --> Sharpen More

Deselect ( Ctrl +D )

Step 3

Duplicate this layer 

Image --> Flip

Image --> Mirror

Image --> Resize 85%

" Resize all layers"  - NOT CHECKED!!

Drag this circle somewhat to the bottom - as seen in my example on the top of this page

Lock the bottom layer and activate one of the other layer.

Merge these layers visible.

Unlock the bottom layer again

Duplicate this circle layer

Activate the circle layer which is below the copied layer.

Filter DSB  -->Flux  Linear Transmission -->as seen below:

Change the opacity of this layer to 24% in your layers palette

Filter Fm Tile Tools -->Blend Emboss

Drop Shadow 1/1/40/0 color black

Activate this circle layer again ( it should be the top layer)

Drop Shadow  10/10/50/5  color #613a2a

Step 5

Open the corner cornervonger.

Paste it in the top left corner

Filter Simple -->top left mirror

Merge all layers

It should look like this now:

Step 6

Open your tube--> tubed by monique 42_F526

Paste as new layer onto the canvas

Drag it to the right, just before the top left corner

Make sure it is even with the border, as seen below:

Drop Shadow 10/10/50/5  color black

Step 7

New raster layer

Layers  --> Arrange  -->Move Down

So :)))  on this layer we' re going to apply the brushes

(This layer should be below your tube layer now)

Foreground color on the gold pattern

Brushes -->PSP grannybreadspread 007 size 200

Stemple the flower in the bottom circle and click once more with your left mouse button

This way the flower will be a bit more golden.

Yvonne is crazy about gold. hihihihi.

 Repeat it on the same layer in the top circle,

Adjust --> Sharpness--> Sharpen

Drop Shadow 1/1 /56/0 color #613a2a

Merge all layers

Step 8

Selections --> Modify -->

Contract by 2 pixels and press delete.

Deselect.

New layer

Foreground on gold

Open your Bickham Script Fancy 2 - font, size 36

Type the first letter of your name and drag it below.

Why? Because the letter should be against the frame, otherwise it will be outside the frame if

 you type it all at once.  :))))

Drop Shadow  1/1/64/0 color #613a2a

New layer. Type the rest of your name

and drag it into position

Repeat the drop shadow.

Merge all layers VISIBLE

Select All

Drop Shadow 1/1/100/0  color #613a2a

Repeat with  -1/-1 

Deselect and you're finished !!! :)))
