4. Image, Resize 300 x 400, Image canvas size 700 x 700, this will give you plenty of room to work. We will crop tag later.
5. Save your work as a pspimage file with all layers intact and save often.

8. Select this new layer and right click, choose new mask layer, from image, Use dropdown to pick my mask, check source luminance, and uncheck invert mask layer.
9. Merge the group

Hi Kathy! I thought I would let you know that I made this last year and printed it out for a framed Mother's Day card. My Mom has passed away but I made it for my Mother-in-law. She still has it hanging in her bedroom. There was a second one with the same colors that I also did. She too has come to love the Gorjuss lol Thank you so much for your hard work. GBU!
