If your Layer Palette isn't up bring it up by clicking the Toggle Layer Palette button now click the Add New Layer button when the box comes up just click ok. Your Layer Palette should read from top to bottom Layer2, Layer1. Now make sure Layer2 is selected and click the tube tool and select the fairy on your control palette now place the fairy at 100% in the center to the left like this...

Click the foreground color (top box) and select any color you want your text to be. Now click the Text tool and click on the pic to the right of the fairy and select your font, I'm using Aristocrat, Bold, size 40, make sure Floating is checked and click ok. Now move your text beside the fairy's foot like this...

Select none by holding down the Ctrl button on your keyboard and pressing D. Go to EDIT>COPY now click on Layer1 to select it and go to EDIT>PASTE>AS NEW SELECTION place it below the first fairy and go to IMAGE>FLIP now line the fairy up with the first one like this...

Ok select none again. Now we need to mute the bottom fairy a little. On the control palette make sure Layer1 is selected and slide Layer1's slider to the left to mute, I set mine to 46 like this...

Now go to LAYERS>MERGE>MERGE VISIBLE and go to EDIT>CUT, EDIT>PASTE>AS NEW IMAGE and save and mine looks like this...

That's it. If you have any questions please just ask...
