INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open up the program and create a new canvas with an image file size of 150 dpi, 4x6 inches, with a white background.
2. Open up the Floral Background. Select a 1 inch wide by 4 inch high, vertical row of flower buds from the background layer. Copy and Paste it onto the white 4 x 6 canvas you created.
3. Make an identical border by pasting again. Drag and drop it into the 4x6 canvas.
4. Arrange the border layers by placing one border on each side of the card (canvas).
5. Open up the Mauve Background. Using the rectangle marquee tool, select a ¼” wide by 4” high, vertical border. Copy and paste onto card.
6. Arrange each plaid border on either edge of the card, about a ¼” from each edge, allowing the tan layer to show on either side of the card.
7. Going back to the Mauve Background, use the marquee tool to select the center layer of the card size 3” wide by 4” high. Copy and Paste it onto the card. Arrange it to fit the center of the card.
8. Copy and paste the cupcake on the card to desired size.
