If you don't wish to animate, just skip the steps marked ** in BLUE**.

Open a canvas, white background, 650x650 pixels.

Open RR_Frames4. Center it on white background.

Click on Frames4 layer.

Now grab your magic wand tool and click on the inside of your frame.

Click on Paper16 layer.

Go to Select, click Inverse.

Hit the Delete button on your keyboard.

Go back to Select, click on Deselect.

These are the elements I used on top of the frame:

RR_FloralVine

RR_Feather1

RR_Feather2

RR_Flower1

RR_Flower2

RR_Candle

RR_Pearls

RR_Charm

RR_Butterfly3

RR_Bow5

RR_Borderclip

Resize the elements to fit and place wherever you wish.

I duplicated the layers:

RR_FloralVine

RR_Feather1

RR_Feather2

RR_Flower1

RR_Pearls

After duplicating these, I flipped them horizontally.

After placing your charm where you'd like,

resize the Butterfly to fit inside the charm.

Place your tube on top of everything.

Resize to fit.

Go ahead and put your dropshadow on all layers.

We will build a border now.

Open RR_Glittertrail.

Place this at the top of your siggy.

Duplicate this layer and place it at the bottom.

Duplicate.

Flip this third layer of Glittertrail 90 Counter Clockwise.

Place on the left edge of your siggy.

Duplicate.

Flip your fourth layer horizontally.

Place on the right edge of your siggy.

Now merge duplicated layers of Glittertrail down

so you have one layer that forms the border.

Place the border layer behind Frame4.

Open RR_Sparkle1 and RR_Sparkle3.

Place these on top of your siggy.

Make a new layer on top of all layers.

Type the name you want in the font you want.

I used Champange.

I colored the font bright pink, f991d1.

I also used Stroke, a deep pink: d42498, 2, Outside.

Size it to fit and position where you like.

MOST IMPORTANT!!

Put the artist's name, website, and your license number

of the tube you used on the siggy!!

Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.

Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.

Resize your sig to your liking.
