Open
an image with floral motive (or another of your preference);
make a copy (SHIFT+D), and close the original. Prepare a "TILE"
with that copy, using any method of your knowledge, leaving
that tile minimized in the working area. See the tile I used:
2
Open the image you intend to use as your base in this
project, and make a copy; with this copy open, add a new layer
(Layers/ New Raster Layer). Drag that layer still empty (in
the Layers Palette) below the layer with your base image and
"flood fill" (using the option "Pattern"
in color Palette), with the floral pattern you earlier prepared.
3
In the Layer Palette, you will rest, by
now, with two layers: in the lower layer, the floral
pattern - in the upper layer, the base image.
In the bar of the base image layer, to the right side, you will
find three fields: activates the central field (that is the
field where you'll go to define the states of blending this
layer regarding the lower one) mouse clicking the arrow in the
right end of the field - choose the item "Luminance",
leaving the floral lower layer in its "Normal" mode.
Take a look on the graphic:

You will see that your base image is
now blended with the lower image, following the "Luminance"
orientation that you just finished to define. Experiment other
definitions, with the other options on Layer Palette and see
how many pretty results you'll be able to obtain.
Our examples:
5
In the Menu
bar choose Layers/ Merge/ Merge Visible. Over this active image
we'll apply our "mask", just clicking in Masks/ Load
From Disk/ RND_FADE.msk - the mask will be applied over the
image. Click in Masks/ Invert. In succession add a new layer
and drag it below the layer containing the image with the mask
(always managing the Layer Palette). Fill that layer with the
same floral pattern you reserved, and already utilized in another
occasion in this project. You can also define, if you want to,
some transparency for the mask around 80%, more or less, dragging
the "layer opacity" little arrows to the left way.
See how:
6
Click on Merge/
Merge Visible. Reserve
(for future
use in this project) the
image you came to obtain.
7
Open
a new image, transparent, 24bit, and 70px bigger than the original
image (in our project the original image has 320 x 270px. -
therefore we'll open a new image with 390 x 340px). Configure
the "Flood Fill" tool for the pattern from the image
with the mask you came to obtain - use a percentage of 80, in
the scale configuration - and
flood fill the image.
8
Click
Effects/ 3D Effects/ Inner Bevel, with the configurations:
Look
the result (in reduced format):
 :
9
Copy
and paste "as a new layer" (over the image you came
to obtain), that image with the mask you used as a background
pattern of the graphic above mentioned. At this point, place
your signature, click " Merge visible", and save your
work in two phases: the first one in the native format of the
program (. psp) and after this, in JPG or GIF, as you want.
