Template #18, made by me, which you can download above

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 to create our mask. Open whatever mask you choose to use; I have chosen a mask by MPM. 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. Flood fill the new image with black. 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, reduce by 60%, and place wherever you would like it...keep repeating til there is mask everywhere you would like it to be.

***(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.)***

Okay, let's get started! First let's open the template #18 made by me. Now let's add papers to our template, to bring it to life; the papers should be as follows: paper 2 on rasters 3, 4, 8, and 11, paper 7 on rasters 6 and 10, paper 6 on rasters C5, 9, and 2, and paper 4 on rasters 5, 26, and C26. Next, find and open the full-view of the Smile tube and copy and paste her to the tag, reducing her by 30%...center her at the bottom. Now go back to the tube and open the close up view...copy and paste it to the top right heart...reduce to fit..invert and add a luminance legacy blend mode. repeat for the left heart, except FH.

Next, find and open the el 13, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom right, by the tube's arm. Next, find and open the el 35, and reduce it by 60%, and place it angled on the left side. Next, find and open the el 30, and reduce to fit the heart on the top right. Next, find and open the el 17, and reduce it by 80%, and place all over on the mask layer.

Next, find and open the el 15, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the right side, on the white strip. Next, find and open the el 31, and place it angled on the right side. Next, find and open the el 27, and reduce it by 30%, and place it on the right bottom, under the tube. Next, find and open the el 40, and reduce it by 60%, and place it on the top left, over the left half of the circle...D and FH and place on the right half.

Next, find and open the el 21, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the top left. Next, find and open the el 22, and reduce it by 60%, and place it on the top right. Next, find and open the el 20, and reduce it by 65% and place it on the top left. Next, find and open el 34, and reduce it by 45%, and place it angled on the right side.

Next, find and open the el 4, and reduce it by 90%, and place in the checks in the square. Next, find and open the el 14, and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the top right, in the center of the bow. Next, find and open the el 6, and reduce it by 95%, and place it centered on the lollipop...D 4 times to make it darker.

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)!!
