Let's Get Started:

Please be sure to SAVE Frequently and NAME your Layers
Resize all layers to your liking

•Open up New Image Size 650 x 650, flood fill white.
•Open-up SE_Envelope and paste as a new layer, 1st the bottom (the
triangle), and paste the top part of the envelope, and separate just a bit:
Triangle going upwards and bottom of envelope going downwards. Give it
a Drop Shadow of 0/0/55/6.2/Black
•Add the index card that comes with the envelope paste as a new layer, go to Image;
Mirror (refer to my tag for placement)
•Copy and Paste your Photo as a new layer. Go to Images - Free Rotate -
Right - Free at 8.00 - click ok, and hide this layer for now. Go to index card layer,
Selections All - Float - Defloat and back to your photo layer unhide and
reduce size if necessary and position. Invert and delete.
•Go back to your index card layer - Go to Selections - Select All - Float -
Defloat - Modify - Contract 6 then invert and on your Layers - Promote Selection
then Selections None. Add a new raster layer on top of the
promoted selection layer and flood fill with a complimentary color of your choice
and hide. Go back to your promoted selecton layer and Select All - Float -
Defloat, back to your flood fill layer, unhide, invert, delete.

Note you can delete the index card and the promoted border layer,
this leaves you with the photo and flood filled border,
or you can just hide it for a duplicate if needed later for an error.

•On your flood filled border frame duplicate this 4 times and name each layer
Frame1, 2, 3 and 4 (see my preview below)...Hide all layers underneath
the 4 borders, then go back to Frame1 using the magic wand:
tolerance 20, No feathering, I want you to click inside the border frame
Selections - Modify - Expand by 2. Now go to cutout with the settings of:
V3/H3/Opacity 60/Blur 6.2/Shadow Color black/Uncheck Fill Interior with Color,
keep selected and move onto Frame2 repeat the steps except giving it a
V-3/H-3, Selections None, Unhide your layers.
•Bring Frame3 underneath Frame1 giving it a Drop Shadow of:
0/0/50/5/Black
•Frame4 should be on top of all your Frames, so your layers should
have so far...Working from the bottom to the top layer:

The White filled background
The Triangle portion of the envelope
The Bottom portion of the envelope
The Photo
The 4 Border Frames

•Now it's time to copy and paste as a new layer your Elements: I added apples,
the squirrel, the bunny, the basket of apples, the tube.
I gave the Tube a Drop Shadow of:
2/4/50/6.2 then again 0/1/35/4/black

Also I gave the Squirrel, Bunny, Basket of Apples and the Tube a
Free Rotate - Right - Free 8.00, click OK.
These elements are placed above the Photo Layer, and underneath the
four frame borders.
•Open-up Large Leaf and click on White Background layer, then copy and
paste leaf as a new layer.
•Open-up Melissa's Doodle Art copy and paste as a new layer then duplicate,
go back to the original doodle: Image - Mirror, on the duplicate doodle:
Image Mirror - Image flip...Position to your liking.

•Here's the tricky part - I want you to open-up Autumn Leaves Orange and as
you can see there are 5 layers...click on Leaf1 copy and paste as a
new layer and back to your tag above all your elements but below the 4
Border Frames, repeat these steps with the remaining 4 layers and Hide
Layers Leaf 2,3,4,5...Leaving Leaf1 Open.

•Add your Copyright
•Add your Name...if you are using BlackBeard Font - Color Black -Text Size 55 -
All Caps - Sharp - Kern 25 - Lower Opacity to 82 - Overlay
