This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.  I used PSPX2

Plug in Xero Porcelain

Settings:  Preset settings  Except change Blue to 0

Add a Drop Shadow 

Same settings as above  Repeat

New Raster layer

Move to bottom 

Select your Dropper Tool  

Select a Foreground color and a Background color for gradient

I used  Foreground:  #fbdfdc   Background:   #ffbc8b

Change your Foreground Material properties to Fore/Back Gradient

Settings:  Style  Linear -  Angle - 45  Repeats - 06

Flood fill with Gradient

Selections - Select None

Adjust - Blur - Gaussian blur 30

C/P Large Face tube  Resize 70%   

Change Blend Mode to Luminance (L)

Reduce Opacity to 40

Layers - Merge - Merge Down

Select Mask of choice

Layers - Load Mask - Load from Disk - select your mask 

or Open up mask and Minimize it to your work space

Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image then find your mask - OK

Layers - Merge - Merge Group

Selections - Select None

Layers - Merge - Merge Visible  

Crop - Resize - Sharpen if preferred

I always use  Adjust - Sharpen - UnSharp Mask  to sharpen

Settings - Radius 4.00  Strength usually between 16 - 20  Clipping 5

I find this doesn't leave the sharp edge that just using Sharpen does
