Ok Ready? Let's Start! 

Get your template and Shift D to duplicate. Close the original. 

Re-size canvas to 800x800-Optional.

Delete or hide the credit and stamp beige layers. 

Bottom layer. Name your layer -- I named mine bottom. New layer-Name it the paper that you used. I used paper 6. Copy paper 6 and select all and paste it into selection.

Find your mask from image or from disc and apply it. Merge-Merge group.

Duplicate this layer.  I colorized it to 25/255 and lowered the opacity to 50. Set the Layer properties to dissolve.

For the Gradient leaf layer, you may leave it or colorize it.

I used a gradient that I made. 

Ellipse Red layer- paper 13 colorized to 25/255.

Rectangle light green   Paper 14 colorized to 25/255.

Large Leaf layer- Gradient of choice or just colorize to 25/255.

Rectangle Yellow layer- Gradient of choice or just colorize  to 25/255.

Rounded Rectangle - Gradient of choice or just colorize  to 25/255.

Wordart Layer I duplicated it and on the bottom layer I used Eye Candy Gradient glow.

If you do not have this plug in, No worries. Go HERE for an alternate. 

I also used the alternate to gradient glow way to add the white with noise 

for each template layer. 

Elements I used:

Leaves 1 resized 50% duplicate and mirror.

Pumpkin resized 45%.

Mushroom- 25%. Duplicate and resize this one by 80%.

Lantern resized 65%.

Leaves 2 resized 25% --- Duplicate then resize 80%

Sparkle 1 - I did One step photo fix to turn them white. Tree-75%

Tube  Pin up Toons  -- did not resize

Nuts 45 % -- Duplicate then resize -75%

Pumpkins for sale sign  resized 75%

Arrange your elements to where you like them.

Now, if you sized your canvas the same size as mine, Then re-size all layers 85%. 

Or resize to your liking, I like my final tags to be less than 650x650.

Add your watermark if you wish and copyright for the image you used.

Add your name or name(s) of whoever you want.
