You are now done. If you want, you can add text like how I did it with mine. If you're curious as to what the font I used for the handwriting is called, it's called, "Susie's Hand". The Japanese kanji's called, "Kozuka Mincho Pro".

.PSD will not be removed, since I know that this tutorial has ALOT of steps in it. Hahaha. But please do comment when taking it. It's irritating knowing that someone's taking your creation without even thanking you when you offered to help them out. That's rude.
Thank you for checking out my tutorial! ♥
