Tutorial using the Breakfast at Tiffany's scrap kit by Sweet Cravings Scraps, and featuring a poser by MediEvil Creations

Supplies Needed

Paint Shop Pro - I am using X5, but any should do

The Breakfast at Tiffany's scrap kit, which includes the poser by MediEvil Creations, which is available for purchase at Wilma4Ever HERE in a 3 kit bundle...all 3 kits include posers...and the 3 pack bundle is usually $8 and right now is for sale for $3.50 for all 3 kits and posers!

Any mask of your choosing, I chose a mask from PSP-Pals

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you will need to do, is to start a new image in Paint Shop Pro (PSP for short). To do this, look at the top left corner, and click on FILE>NEW> a pop up will open...set width and height to 600, make background white, and make sure the transparent box is not checked. Click okay, and you now have a blank size base for your tag, already sized and ready to go.

***(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.)***

I have chosen a mask from PSP-Pals. 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 tiffany blue 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! :) Now, let's add a nice paper to add some color to your tag. To do this, click on FILE>OPEN> find paper #16 and open it, then click on the pick tool on the tool menu on the left (it looks like an arrow)..a white dotted line will surround the paper, now click EDIT>COPY> find the image 1 tab at the top and click on it...you will do this every time to paste new items as you want to keep building on Image 1 (this is your tag), now click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Decrease the size to fit. Slide the mask to the layer the paper is on in your side layers menu, so your mask is on top.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Click FILE>OPEN> find the full pose #5 of your Medi poser and open it. Reduce her size by about 45% and place her centered on the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the flower #6 and open it, and then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab, then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 80% and place one in the top left corner...duplicate it and flip it horizontally...this gives a fuller flower....now repeat this process in the other 3 corners. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the bow #3 and open it, then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab, then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 90% and place one angled on each of the 4 corner flowers.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the desk and chair open it, then and reduce the size by 60%. Place it on the right side of the tag. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the retro dress #1 and reduce the size 60% and place it on the left side of the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the perfume and open it, and reduce the size by 85% and place it on the left side of the top of the desk. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the phone and open it and reduce the size by 85% and place it on the top of the right side of the desk. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the doodle #3 and open it then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab again and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Decrease the size by 20% and place it angled on the right side of the tag...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the other side of the tag....now use the side layers menu and slide the doodles to the bottom so they are not in the forefront. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the lipstick and open it then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab again, and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 95% and place it on the top of the desk, between the phone and the perfume. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the gem and open it then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab again, and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 95% and place one at the center of of each of the corner bows.

Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the glass bottle and open it and reduce the size by 90% and place it up against the side of the desk, for decoration.

You did it! You now have finished this tag. You will need to add copy wright info to your tag, as it is the law. Finally, add a name in any font and color of your choosing.
