Let's go. Good luck.....

Open a new image 400 X 400 > Transparent.

Fill with #1f1248.

Layers > New raster layer.

Layers > New mask layer > From image.

Find the MD-Peace_Mask.jpg.
This mask was made by me from scratch.

Layers > Merge all flatten.

Layers > New raster layer.

With selection tool set to rectangle draw a rectangle on your image.
See example below. Fill with #1f1248.
Align with the dark border on the top and bottom.

Selections > None.

All layers unchecked (= blue hand).

Move this dark rectangle like on the example below.

Move  like in the screenshot below.

Open the MD-peace_floral1.psp and copy.

Foreground color locked, background to white.

Click the and find BickhamScriptFancy2 (in the ZIP).
Size 36 > Stroke 0,0 > B of Bold > Anti-alias checked or sharp.

Type your text.
I used "No violence" (only the first letter as a capital).

Convert to raster (PSP 7, 8, 9 & 10).

Place the text on the upper blue rectangle.

Type "Tolerance" (Capital T).

Place on the bottom rectangle.
Convert to raster.

Type "but", no capitals.
Convert to raster.

Move between your other text lines.

If all did go well, you have something like this.
The text below is Dutch so it will look a little different
at your end but I hope you'll get the general idea.

Open  MD-peace_butterfly.psp and copy.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Place  the butterfly like this:

Layers > Merge all layers flatten.

Layer palette > Duplicate. Do this twice.
You see 3 layers and have the top layer activated (=blue).

With your magic wand select the butterfly (feather 0, tolerance 30).

Adjust > Add noise/.... > Add noise.

Repeat on layer 2 and 3 but change the amount to 30 (layer 2) and 35 (layer 3).
