*~ Let's get started ~*

1. We are going to spend a bit of time making a tagback for this tut:

Open new Image 725 x 700 px transparent

Flood fill white

Open Miz_Mask 374 R/S 85% C/P

Move upward & to left Rename ~ Mask

Select all float, defloat, add new RL, 

Open Paper 5, C/Paste into the selection, d/s

Move downward & to right, Rename ~ Mask 03

Select Mask layer again, select all, float, defloat, add new RL

Open paper 2, C/Paste into the selection. d/s

Rename Mask 02

Move to upper left

Note:  Arrange layers in this order starting from bottom:

white bg ~ close for now

Mask

Mask 01

Mask 02

Mask 03

Merge the above layers visible

Image ~ Decrease colour depth ~ 2 Colours ~ grey values, ordered dither ~ OK

Copy then UNDO 

Paste as top most layer

Using magic wand, click on outer white area, delete, d/s

Rename this Dither

Move it above the Mask layer on layer palette

Close Mask 02 layer

Open WWMask 02a PNG C/P move upper left

Open Paper 5, C/Paste into the selection d/s

close original mask beneath it.

Using lighten/darken tool, softly lighten with brush sz 100, 75 hardess & opacity

the very top edge of Mask 04 layer. 

Your tagback should look something like this:
