New CT tag & Tut using the Vintage Floral Kit by Memory Lane Creations, and featuring the Sarenity poser by Elisa Designs.

Supplies Needed

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

The May Birthstone scrap kit which can be purchased at Scrappin Dollars 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 an 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 pastel rainobow 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 #3 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 poser, as we will be building everything else around her. Okay, click FILE>OPEN> find your  Sarenity poser 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 75% and place her centered on the tag; use the side layers menu to slide the poser and the mask layer back to the forefront.  Now click on bow #4 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 80% and place one in each of the corners. 

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Click FILE>OPEN> find the vintage button #3 and open it and then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab again and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce it by 90% and place one in the center of the bows in each of the 4 corners.  Now click FILE>OPEN> find the bouquet of flowers and open it, 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 each of the bottom corners, making sure the space between the poser and the sides are full with blooms.  You will need to use the side layers menu again and slide the poser, the buttons, and the bows back to the forefront. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the tag cluster #2 and open it, then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab, then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce the size by 70% and place in the center, behind the poser.

 Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the flower #2 and open it, then click EDIT>COPY>click on the Image 1 tab again then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Reduce it by 90% and place 2 side-by-side on the left lower corner flower of the tag. Repeat and add 2 of the pink flowers side-by side above the white ones.  Okay, click FILE>OPEN>find the bow #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 80% and place one on each side, centered. 

Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the button #4 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 80% and place one in the center of each side bow.  Now click FILE>OPEN> find the purple journal tag #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 85% and place one in 3 of the corners of the tag behind the poser. Click FILE>OPEN> find the Border #3 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 about 80% and place all around on all 4 sides of the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the other 2 buttons that were not used, and reduce them by 90% and place the in open spaces on the tag behind the poser.  

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.
