Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #182 from Addictive Templates

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you will need to do, is to open the Template # 182 by Addictive Templates. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the 1st mask you have chosen, then start a new image FILE>NEW>600x600 and transparent needs to be checked. Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I made a 2 layer mask..for the first layer I did a black and white dual toned gradient and a beige and khaki dual tones gradient for the second and top layer....flood fill the new blank image with the color or gradient..the flood fill is the paint bucket shape. Now go to the top layers menu and click NEW MASK LAYER> from image...a pop up opens..click on the title of the mask you chose in the drop down menu. Now go back to the side layers menu and click on the square that has the layers combined...right click it then click merge..the merge group..and voila..you have a mask layer now! :) Just copy and paste it to the tag, and increase the size by 10%...move it around until you are happy with the amount that shows. Repeat the process with the beige-khaki layer mask.

***(NOTE: there is a layers menu on the right side of your screen..if u do not see it then look up top and click VIEW>PALETTES>LAYERS and it will open up...u use this layer to bring things to the front..say for example u put a shoe on the tag but it went behind a bucket and u want it in front of the bucket...while holding the left click button on your mouse or touch pad down, you would slide the shoe to the layer the bucket is on..it would now be in the front...use this anytime u want to bring something to the forefront.)***

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! The first thing we want to do, is place papers on parts of our template. The following is where your papers should be: paper 3 on copy 2, paper 10 on rasters 8, 9, and copy of 9, paper 1 on rasters 11 and 14, paper 12 on rasters 3 and 7, and paper 14 on raster 4.

The next thing we want to do is to start adding our elements to make this tag come to life!! The very first thing we will want to do is to add our Roxy tube. First find and open the full view of the tube; reduce her by 20% and center her on the tag. Now open the close up of the tube and decrease it by 50% and place it angled in the right square; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it in the left square. Make both close ups vignette at 75. (Make sure the tube has dark hair with red on top).

Next, find and open the el 85 the screen and increase it by 20% and place it behind the raster 7 circle. Next, find and open the el 94 the diamond chain and place it across the bottom...stretch sides to fit; duplicate it and place it on the blue line near the tube's waist. Next, find and open the el 7 the hat and reduce it by 90% and place it angled on the tube's head. Next, find and open the el 12 the camo bow and reduce it by 80% and place it angled in the top right corner.

Next, find and open the el 67 the painted smeared bottom , and place it on the bottom in the background. Next, find and open the el 3 the flower and reduce it by 90% and place it centered on the bow on the top right. Next, find and open the el 33 the bullet hole and reduce it by 90% and place at the top left; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the top right. Next, find and open the el 48 the gun and reduce it by 20% and place it angled on the left behind the tube; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it angled behind the right side of the tube.

Next, find and open the el 69 the camo bottle top and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the top left corner. Next, find and open the el 754 the bullet and reduce it by 95% and place it on the top of the left close up square; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right. Next, find and open the el 22 the air force badge and reduce it by 95% and place it on the top left. Next, find and open the el 2 the dog tag and reduce it by 98% and place it on the right side of the tube's head. Lastly, find and open the el 84 the cigarette and reduce it by 70% and place it angled on the left behind the square pic; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place angled behind the right side square pic.

Lastly, add 3D drop shadows wherever you would like them to be. Make sure at this point that you add the copyright information (VERY IMPORTANT)!!

You did it! You now have finished this tag. Finally, add a name in any font and color of your choosing. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
