Repeat the same steps above using another paper of choice (I used paper 2). Delete the frame 1 layer and select the background 2 layer. Repeat the same steps above using either the same tube, image or close up mirrored - or another tube, image or close up of choice. Delete the background 2 layer and select the frame 2 layer. Repeat the same steps above using either the same paper used for the frame 1 layer or another paper of choice. Delete the frame 2 layer Click on each of the paper layers and sharpen. Crop image close to all borders just to get rid of any paper over hang. Add drop shadow to each of the paper layers: 4, 4, 60, 3, #231508 Now we're going to make our canvas a bit bigger so we have more room to work with at the top and sides. Go to image - canvas size and change the width and height to 600. Select the background layer and flood fill white Copy and paste a bunch of the flowers and leaves. Make sure they are positioned just above the background layer so they are arranged in the back. Resize - rotate - mirror and arrange until you have your bouquet the way you like it. Once you are happy with your bouquet arrangement - hide all other layers - select one of the leaf or flower layers and then merge - merge visible. Sharpen bouquet layer and add same drop shadow as before Copy and paste a couple of the butterflies as new layers and bring to the top - resize - rotate - position - sharpen and add same drop shadow. Copy and paste a couple of the birds as new layers and repeat same steps as above. Add a new layer and add text.
