How to get a special shape out of pattern paper

[rsmobley85]

I have been searching the forum for days and havent found what Im looking for. Maybe because I dont know the right term but this is what I need to know how to do. 

 

How to take a shape like a fancy label and merge it with pattern paper. 

 

The only way I have been able to figure this out is. open the pattern paper png and open the fancy label on the same layer. Then use the magic wand to remove the colors on the outside of the shape.  But this leaves me with the black line of the shape.  

Is there a easier way to do this. 

Step by step or link to a tutorial would be great im a beginner.  

 

Thanks,

Sharon

Hi Sharon, welcome to the forum

 

Put the label on a new layer & continue the way you did it. You were almost there

Yeah, Also try it using with different transparency and blending modes for upper layer (through "Layer properties") . See whichever blending mode suits best.

Okay, I finally figured it out. I found this tutorial that helped a lot. It was kind of tricky but got it after a few tries. I used the steps in the post with the star and the blue paper The tricky part was the last step.
