Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template 412 by Millie's PSP Madness

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you want to do is open the #412 template by Millies PSP Madness. Then, 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 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 chose a dual toned olive green gradient....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, increasing by about 10%.

***(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.)***

The next thing we want to do is to start adding our elements to make this tag come to life!! First, we need to put our papers on our template. The papers should be as follows: paper 2 raster 2, paper 3 raster 1, paper 7 rasters 4 and 5, paper 4 rasters 3 and 8, paper 1 rasters 7, 10, and 11.

Next, find and open the carebear 2 and reduce her by 20% and center her on the tag. Next, find and open the ribbon 3 and reduce it by 60% and place it behind the right of the bear with the flower showing; duplicate and flip horizontally, so the flower is also now on the left, and the ribbons connect behind the bear. Next, find and open the window of life 1 and reduce it by 60% and place it on the right side behind the bear and ribbon; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left side. Next, find and open the deco 3 and reduce it by 50% and place on the left side of the window; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right side.

Next, find and open the awareness candle 1 and reduce it by 85% and place it at the bottom right and duplicate it and flip it horizontally; repeat this process with the candle on the bottom left. Next, find and open the bow 6 and reduce by 90% and place at the top left n the forefront; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the top right. Next, find and open the bow 1 and reduce it by 90% and place centered in the bow 6; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place in the center of the right one. Next, find and open the fancy butterfly 1 and reduce it by 80% and place it angled on the right side above the white ring...duplicate it 4 times...duplicate again and flip it horizontally and place angled on the left side...duplicate it 4 times. Next, find and open the butterfly 2 and reduce the size by 90%..place on the fancy butterfly 1 and reduce by 90%..duplicate each 4 times.

Next, find and open the tear drop 3 and reduce it by 80% and place it on the right side from below the bow; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side. Next, find and open the flower 3 and reduce it by 90% and place it at the top right, right above the bow and duplicate it...duplicate it again and flip it horizontally and place it on the left..duplicate it. Next, find and open the flower 1 and reduce it by 95% and place in the center of each of the flower 3...duplicate both to make them stand out more. Next find and open the butterfly 1 and reduce it by 85% and place one on both sides of the bear's head. Next, find and open the butterfly 2 and reduce it by 90% and place on top of the other butterfly on both sides of the bear's head. Next, find and open the awareness ribbon and reduce it by 85% and place it on either side of the bear. Next, find and open the bow 5 and reduce it by 80% and place it angled on the left bottom corner; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place angled on the bottom right corner.

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)!!
