Answer 1

To make a picture like that one, first you would make a new layer (layer>new) and use a brush to make the designs.

Then make another new layer, and use the text tool to type your text and get it in the right place.

Then, if you look at your layers palette, click on the little eye on the background layer, to make that layer invisible. You should now see just your 2 layers you made.

Then, go to Layers> merge visible and you will be left with your design

Hope that helps. You can find more beginners tutorials on my blog
