Please read my and their TOU before you start.</div> <div>Open all your supplies and minimize.</div> <div>Open a new image 700x500, white background.</div> <div>Copy your frame to the tag as a new layer.

Add drop shadow.<br />Now draw rectangles from top to bottom, using the same settings but change the background paper for each rectangle.</div> <div>Convert to raster layer after each reactangle, so that you end up with four rectange layers in the end.</div> <div>Add drop shadow to all layers.</div> <div>Add your elements of choice, resize them to fit as you like and add drop shadows to them.</div> <div>Add your copyright if needed.</div> <div>With your text tool, type your name.
