1 - Open a new transparent image of 850 by 700 pixels.
2 - Open the palette "Fairymist_Palette_Princesse_Vera" in your PSP.
- Those are the colours to use, if you make my tutorial with the same items as me.
- In that case, activate your drop tool and make a left click on the salmon colour of the palette (n°1).
- That colour will appear in the foreground of the Materials palette of your PSP.
- Right click now on the pale lilac colour (2).
- This colour will then appear in the background of the Materials palette of your PSP.
3 - Flood fill your transparent image with your light foreground colour (left click).
4- ADD A NEW RASTER LAYER.

21- Selections / Load a selection / From disk / Choose the selection "Fairymist_Princesse_Vera 1".
22- Flood fill that selection, on your new layer, with your foreground colour.
( Flood fill the outside circle !).
- Selections / Select none.
23- Layers / Duplicate.
24- Image / Resize as shown below :
25- Effects / Distortion effects / Curlicues as below :
26- Activate the layer just underneath (the layer of the circle without curlicues).
- With your magic hand, select the inside of that circle.
27- Selections / Modify / Expand by 2 pixels.
28- ADD A NEW RASTER LAYER.
29- Open the tube "Fairymist_Princesse_Vera_nuages" in your PSP and copy it.
30- Paste that tube into the selection, on your new layer.
- That cloud layer must remain in a normal mode otherwise the effects produced by my two masks would appear in the circle !
- You may change the colours of the clouds by using the Hue map effects :
- Adjust / Hue and saturation / Hue map :
- Play with the different cursors until you get the colours that go well with your tubes and other colours.
- Don't forget that you can change the saturation and lightness opacities too.
- Keep selection.
31- Layers / Arrange / Move down.
(The cloud layer will then be just underneath your round frame).
32- Open the misted tube "Château" or a misted tube of your choice in your PSP and copy it.
- Don't use an image as it would hide the clouds placed on step 30 !
33- Paste the tube of the misted château as a new layer and place it in the middle of your circle with your move tool.
- If you paste it into the selection, it will probably be distorted !
- If your own misted tube is larger than the circle, resize it or invert your selection and hit the delete key.
- Selections / Select none
34- When I got to that point of my creation, I felt I wanted to darken my background, so here is what I did :
- Activate layer Raster 1 and duplicate it (Layers / Duplicate).
- I have then set the mode of that new layer on to Multipliy.
35- Activate now the layer where Mask 2 is (the 4th one from the bottom for me).
36- Open the tube "Etoiles_grsab"or a similar tube of your choice in your PSP and copy it.

- I have set the mode of that new layer on to Multipliy.

44- Open the tube "Fairymist_Princesse_Vera_Texte" in your PSP and copy it.
45- Paste it as a new layer on to your tag.
- Place it as on my tag
( If you wish to write down your own text, I have used the font Mon amour script, size 40 on a vectorial circle).
You can do it this way : Draw a vectorial circle / Image, Vertical mirror so that your text isn't upside down ! /
Add a new raster layer / Start writing as soon the T of your text tool is underlined by a curved line when you touch the circle / Apply /
- Delete the vectorial layer of your circle.

- If your PSP doesn't allow you to get a brush size as large as mine, you will have to apply your brush several times in order to cover your whole background.
58- In your layers palette, activate the layer on top of the pile.
59- Effects / 3D effects / Drop shadow / 0, 0, 100, 40, black.
