You can either invert then delete on keyboard

I used a gradient for my outer frames and wordarts....

changing over the gradient from top to bottom.

Do this for all the small frames.

mask new from image select and apply mask merge mask layer visable

i duplicate mine and used the deformation tool to adjust.

again i used a gradient as above then gave mine an inner bevel and drop shaddow

to my name and the wordarts.

Add url copywrite and watermark.
