Here is how I made my grass and sky layers. You may want to find  grass and sky  tubes for yours if you do not want to go through all of the following steps: 

Select all - New Raster layer. Copy and Paste a paper of choice into selection. I used paper 2.

Add your mask, layers, merge, merge group.

Select all, float, defloat, add a new raster layer. Mura meister cloud- default setting.

 Move the Mura meister cloud  layer to one side, just a little bit.

Layers duplicate- Image mirror. 

Duplicate again and resize to about 50%. Image rotate 90 degrees...Left or right---does not matter. Now, colorize it to green  by going to adjust- Hue and saturation- 100/255.

Move to one side. Duplicate and mirror. Duplicate and move this layer

in middle. Making sure you overlap each layer. 

Now we add our elements. I used:

Branch 50%. Duplicate-Mirror- Resize this one another 75%. 

Leaves 3 resized to 45%. Duplcate mirror.  Resize this one to 75%.

BBD_Trophy 50% -- For the wording on the trophy I used the Care Bear Family font.

Banner 1 -40% 

Soccer Goal - -- 50%.

Add your watermark if you wish, and make 

sure you add the copyright for the image you used.

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

For my name, I duplicated the layer and on the 

bottom layer added a Fat Gradient glow.
