Let's get started

 

Open Supplies in PSP

Open a new canvas 600 x 600 flood fill white
Rename layer background

With your text tool
Choose a chunky font I used baby Kruffy
Line width 3
Stroke black
Fill colour null
Vector and Antialias both checked
Size 72


Type out your name or if making a snag a word

Stretch out the font to ¾ of the width of the canvas and about a third of the height

Layers
Convert to raster layer

Use the magic wand
With the shift key held down click inside each of the letters
You should end up with marching ants inside all the letters like shown below

Selections

Expand by 3

Paste the sky paper as new layer
Selections>Invert
Press delete on your keyboard
Move layer beneath the letters

DO NOT DE-SELECT

Next paste the grass paper as new layer

Place it so that it is halfway down the letters
Press delete on keyboard

You should now have something that looks a little like this
(Still do not deselect)




Next paste the fence as new layer
Resize by 30% then again by 50%
Place it like shown below


Layers>Duplicate
And form a straight line to the end of the letters

Hide all layers except the fence

Press delete on your keyboard

Select none

Add the following drop shadow to your fence

Add the drop shadow you used before
And place as desired in the sky on your text
Duplicate and mirror and place the second as desired

Copy and paste any of the other elements from the kits to your liking
