The girl is tubed by me from a Public Domain painting, so is safe to download :-)         

The girl tube, butterfly, font and template download here

I would suggest to open the zip in a separate folder....ie
Make a folder on your pc...call it PSP tutorials....then make a sub folder and call this 'golden pond'...
 place all the zips into that folder....also save this tutorial as a 'mht' file, so you can view it off line........

Then later, if  you want to do another tutorial, go to that PSP tutorials folder and make another sub folder
 and name that one and place all the supplies in that one.....repeat the 'save as' above.....

Now, unto the tutorial :-)

Open the girl tube, butterfly and template*

If you downloaded my font, find it and double click on it to activate it, then minimize it

Copy the template and minimise the girl tube and butterfly

Open a new image black 300 x300

Right click on the blue bar of the new image and click on 'paste as new layer'

Open the girl tube, right click on the blue bar and click on copy

Back to your new image, right click on the blue bar and click on 'paste as new layer'

Position the girl to the right like below....

Open new raster layer.....

Open up your butterfly tube,right click on the blue bar and click on 'copy'
Back to your new image...right click and 'paste as new layer'
