Image resize at 75 percent - twice
Place at the edge of the mask on the left

Change the blend mode to Soft Light

I did change the opacity to 85

Duplicate this layer - twice for a total of three

We are going to come back to this for animation

If you would like - rename the layers
Original layer - 1, and the duplicated layers 2 and 3

Open the harvestflowers

I have already applied a drop shadow

Open the tube by VooDoo

Edit/Copy and Paste as new layer
Image resize at 75 percent twice

Remember to add your copyright information

Apply your text - I used Aquarelle which I have included in my supplies

Foreground color Black
Background color #dea433

Applied the same drop shadow as I did on the tube

You know I always love to add noise to my text, just
adds that extra effect. Thanks to Lori for showing me this neat trick.
Adjust - Add Noise

Now if you want to animate - continue on

Go back to the 1st layer (remember when we duplicated and said we would come back...
Here we are
Close off the duplicated layers (2 and 3)
