PSP - I am using X5, but any should do

***This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP***

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you want to do is open the template from Elegant Inspirations. Then, let's create our mask. Open whatever mask you choose to use; I have chosen a mask by The Creative Chicks. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the mask you have chosen, then start a new image FILE>NEW>700x700 and transparent needs to be checked. Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I chose a burgundy shade....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 the size and moving it around until you are happy with its position.

***(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 3 on all black shapes except for the small black circles, paper 12 on all the dark pink shapes, paper 14 on the grey rectangle, paper 2 on the white shapes, paper 11 on the grey shapes, and paper 18 on the grey dotted boxes.

Next, find and open the Madam heart tube, and copy and paste her to the tag; reduce her size by 40% and center her on the tag, but a bit to the right. Now back to the original and copy and paste on the tag again...place it in the top left pink circle...arrange as u like it and then invert it...add a screen effect to it. Now go back and copy and paste the original again....this time place it in the bottom right peach circle...again decrease size and arrange to your liking...invert it and add a light peach film and filter effect.

Next, find and open the heart boxes and reduce it by 60%, and place it in the bottom left corner. Next, find and open the kitten and reduce it by 85%, and place it at the bottom, to the right of the tube. Next, find and open the pink champagne and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom right, to the right of the cat.

Lastly, add 3D drop shadows wherever you would like them to be....I like these settings: 2V 1H 70 op, 4B. Make sure at this point that you add the copyright information (VERY IMPORTANT)!!
