So lets get started :)
1. Open both your black and white pics, and duplicate each (press shift D) close your originals.
2. Working on your cupids pic first, add a new raster layer, and send it to the bottom. Make your image layer active, then apply Macs eliminate white.
3. Repeat step 2 with your praying hands pic. Now working on the praying hands pic, use your deformation tool to rotate the hands downwards a little, then resize your canvas to 500 height and width.
4. Make your cupids pic active again, then copy and paste as new layer into your praying hands pic. Move it till you're happy it looks like they are flying out of the hands.
5. Close your background layer, then merge visible.
6. With your selection tool active, go to image selections and select all, then click once somewhere inside your pic, this should set the marching ants onto your image. Flood fill white (you may need to do this a couple of times). Now add your Black Hills Gold BladePro preset.
7. Add an inner bevel using the following settings
8. Now add a drop shadow with the following settings
9. Now turn off your image layer, and make your background layer active. Flood fill with your 4SEAS064 graphic. Add a new layer and flood fill white. Lower the opacity of your white layer down to 68, then merge visible.
10. With your background layer still the only layer visible, go to effects>geometic>circle. Use your magic wand to click the outside of your circle, then invert. Go to selections>modify> and expand by 4 - keep selected and add a new layer.
11. Open your globe and paste into selection. I duplicated the globe layer, merged visible, then added another globe layer and flipped this layer. The final flipping of the globe had the cupids covered with the globe highlight, so I rotated the final layer 45 degrees left and merged visible.
12. Make all your layers visible again, and add a new layer between your background and your globe - add a sparkle tube here if you wish, or leave it till we're finished with the globe.
13. Merge all, then add a new raster layer and send it to the bottom, with this new layer active, flood fill with the same fill we used on the globe. Back to your globe layer and resize just this layer by 75%.
14. Add a new raster layer and send it to the bottom, flood fill with white and use your BladePro preset. Go back to your cloud background layer and add the Deecornerart1 mask. You may have to invert the mask, then go to mask>delete and click yes.
15. With your selection tool active, go to selections>select all, then click once inside your graphic, then go selections>invert. Add the same bevel and drop shadow as we did in steps 7 & 8.
16. Now add a symmetrical white border of 5. Repeat the BladePro and bevel, and voila! we're done!
