"You're beautiful. It's true."

As requested by SunsetStar17, here is the tutorial on how I made my covers.

Resources needed:
1. Plain white background of Wattpad cover size (1536x2400)
2. Face claim picture or background
3. ISBN
4. Watercolour sticker/image

Apps needed:
1. Aviary
2. PicsArt
3. Phonto
