Playing with PNG images


This usually works best with 2 bimbo images but if you only want one bimbo then don't add the second bimbo (in my case, i'd leave out the red and white bimbo)
Now when pasting the 2nd bimbo, she'll be in the same position as the 1st bimbo. Just click on the flip tool and click on her body to flip her.


Create a new layer. Select the box tool and make a box that overlaps both bimbos. Color it in one color, or use a pattern. If you want a glitter pattern (check at the end for moving glitter png banners) use the pattern fill tool.






Drag the colored box layer to the bottom. The top circle shows where that layer was, and now as you can see its on the bottom and behind the bimbos. Yay.


Create another new layer, and select the box tool again. This time, smaller than your first box. Color it with another color, and move it down, ontop of the first color


Just add some font.
If using glitter, go to the bottom of this post










When saving, save it as a png image. On the second window that pops up, select merge visible layers. 3rd window, make SURE THE SAVE BACKGROUND COLOR IS UNCHECKED. Otherwise it won't work :D















Aaand this is what it looks like in my about me :)













FOR GLITTERNESS

If using 2 bimbos, right click on the second one and merge down. Duplicate this three times.

New layer>Box tool. Duplicate this 3 times. Add one glitter fill per layer. Drag these down to the bottom so they're behind the bimbo.

New layer > Box tool. Do the second box. I don't recommend using glitter for this as it gets too much. Duplicate three times. Color it or if you really really REALLY want to use glitter. Drag these on top of each of the other box layers> Merge each of these down.

Now, drag the bimbo layer on top of the box layer. Merge down. (Bimbos should be on top of the box layer when merging down)

Font > A nice touch is using the same color or glitter as the border. If you need to write on a new line, remember to merge them down to one font layer. Duplicate the layer 3 times. If using glitter, check out the glitter text tutorial here.
Follow the remaining steps. Otherwise, if using one color, then just type with the font color the same as the border color. Save as above
