Also delete shadow layers, unless you just want to use them.

Let's begin.
Open template and supplies in PSP. Duplicate the template and delete original.
Click on the white background layer. Create a new raster layer and fill with this color, 85bdba. Apply the rd mask. Layers - Merge - Merge group. Adjust - Add/Remove noise. Add noise. Settings: Check Gaussian and Monochrome. Set noise to 30.
Open your color palette and click the pattern tab. Select the yellow print paper from my supplies. Set angle to 0 and scale to 50.

Click on the circle stitches. I chose to leave mine black and simply added a drop shadow. H & V = 1. Opacity = 50. Blur = 4. Color is black.

Use your magic wand to click inside the frame fill. New Raster Layer. Fill with the gradient color you just made.
I chose to keep the frame white, and to keep the shadow layer.

Here is a sample image of what I'm trying to explain.
Duplicate your tube. Give the original a drop shadow. H & V = 1. Opacity = 60. Blur = 6. Color is black. Now change the Blend Mode to Luminance. Erase the shadow that spilled onto the frame.
Click on the tube copy. Go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian. Set to 4. Change the Blend Mode to soft light. Duplicate the copy tube.
Paste, as a new layer, the bow with ribbon. Move it to the stitch line of slat 2. Give it the same drop shadow last used.
Paste, as a new layer, the little bird. Give it the same shadow you just used, but change the blur to 4. Place it above the xo circle. I then copied one of the x's. Deleted it and re pasted it, to make it look like the bird was carrying it in it's beak. (see my tag)
Make sure you've deleted all the template layers you don't need.
