Tutorial using the Harem Cuties scrap kit by Cindy's Creative Designs, featuring a poser by Meine Bastelwelt

Supplies Needed

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

The harem Cuties scrap kit, which can be purchased at Low Budget Scrapping HERE

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 hot pink color...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 #14 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 go ahead and add our tube, as we will be building everything else around her. Okay, click FILE>OPEN> find your full view of your Harem girl #5, and open her then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab again, and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce her size by 65% and place her centered on the tag. Now click on the white fan and open it, then click EDIT>COPY> Click on the Image 1 tab again and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Leave the size as it is, and center it behind the poser...slide the poser to the forefront.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Click FILE>OPEN> find the bird cage and open it , Reduce the size by 80% and place it on the top left corner, hanging down...now duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place hanging in the top right corner. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the ladder and open it, and then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab, then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size of the size by 80% and place it on the top left area next to the bird cage...duplicate and flip it horizontally and add on the right side by that bird cage. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the leaves #2 and open it, then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab, then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Leave the size as is, duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the left.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the horse and open it, then click EDIT>COPY>click on the Image 1 tab again then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 25% placing it on the center of the tag....flip it horizontally, and then slide the horse to the ladder layers, and then slide the poser to the horse layer (all on the side layers menu). Okay, click FILE>OPEN>find the flower #5 and open it and then click EDIT>COPY>click on the image 1 tab and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 80% and place one in the left top corner...duplicate and flip horizontally and place in the top right corner...duplicate and place in the bottom right corner...duplicate again and flip horizontally and place in the bottom left corner.

Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the ribbon #2 and open it then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab again, and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Place it at the top center of the tag, and reduce the width by 10%...use the side layers menu and slide it over the ladders. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the jar 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 90% and place it in the bottom left corner beside the flower, and then angle it outward...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place in the bottom right corner...again angled outward.

Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the butterfly #1 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 90% and place on the left bird cage at and angle...then duplicate it, flip it horizontally and place on the bird cage on the right side. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the deco #2 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 95% and place on both sides of the ribbon at the top, both angled slightly downward. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the button 1 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 in the center of every flower in the corners.
