REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
Open a new Transparent image 650 x 500 and flood fill with white.

Right Click on the top layer in the layer palette and choose Merge Group.

Duplicate the mask layer and on the ooriginal go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur - Radius:19
Repeat the Blur.
Duplicate the blurred layer and right click on the top copy layer in the layer palette and choose Merge Down.

Add any other embellishments you like but try and keep it quite plain so as not to distract from the text.
