SUPERIMPOSE
i. Open the template as the background and open your first color as the foreground. Put the image on screen or multiply and then merge.
ii. Open your next color as the foreground. Put it on multiply or screen.
iii. Then use the rectangle crop to crop out the color that overlaps the other you just did. After you do this, put the overlay mode back on normal and then merge. (If you want, before merging, feel free to adjust the hue and find color combos you like)
iv. Open the add on image or another texture image as the foreground and put it on an overlay mode you like. I put mine on lighten, but screen and multiply work just as well. Merge when done.
v. Open your first PNG as the foreground and place as desired. Use the rectangle crop if needed to fit into the rectangle before merging. Repeat for all PNGS.
vi. Open the add on image of the notebook paper (or you can google the PNG by searching something like notebook page ripped PNG) and place in center. I put mine on multiply for a moment so I could erase any PNG that needed to be in front of the torn page, and then when I was done, I put the image back on normal. Merge and save.
vii. Add your title on Phonto and if you want it to go back behind a person, just open the image without the text as the background back in Superimpose and the one with the text as the foreground. Use the brush under the mask tab to erase areas that need to be gone and then you're done! Don't be afraid to filter as well (:

COMMENTS
this was inspired by another cover of someone's, but I'm not sure who's it was. I take no credit for this idea, but however, I did make this template and such so I do take credit for that.
do you guys think I should make a new signature as well?
question; what is your favorite holiday and why?
