Several different background papers, or just different colors from color palette.
Note: IPL refers to 'In Palette Layers'.
Let's Begin
Open template in psp. Type Shift and d to duplicate. Delete the original. IPL delete info layer.
Click the white background layer and then go to Layers - New Raster layer. Flood fill with this color 5b7182. Apply mask. Layers - Merge - Merge group. Resize down to 90%.
IPL right click the mask layer and duplicate. Click on the original mask layer. Go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blue - set to 10. Reduce the opacity of this layer to 30. Reduce the copy layer to 40.
For all the stitch layers, I did not change the color. IPL, right click a stitch layer and duplicate. Right click again and merge down with original layer. Add a drop shadow. H & V = 1. Opacity = 80. Blur = 4. Color is black. Repeat for all stitch layers.
Do this with the card trim as well.

Apply a drop shadow. H & V = 0. Opacity = 50. Blur = 2. Color is black.
Repeat these steps for the other two flowers.
Click on a flower center. Selections - Float - Defloat. Layers - New Raster Layer. Fill with a paper or color of choice. Selections - Select none. IPL, delete the original center. Go to Effects - 3D effects - Inner Bevel. Settings. Bevel #2. Width = 31. Smoothness = 20. Debth = 3. Ambience = -4. Shine = 0.
IPL right click the flower and merge down with the center. Apply a drop shadow. H & V = 1. Opacity = 80. Blur = 6. Color is black.
Repeat these steps for the other two flower centers.
