Tutorial using the With a Strawberry Flavor scrap kit by Disyas Digital Designs, featuring a poser by Elisa Design

Supplies Needed

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

The With a Strawberry Flavor scrap kit, which can be purchased at Sensibility 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 red 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 #5 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 full view of your poser #2, 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. Now click on the EL #2 and open it, then click EDIT>COPY> Click on the Image 1 tab again and then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. reduce it by 85% and place in bottom left area, next to the poser.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Click FILE>OPEN> find the EL#8 and open it place it on the center of the tag; use the side layers menu and slide the poser back to the forefront. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL#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 25% and center it over the road and poser . Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL#23 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 over and over until it is filled in, and place on both sides of the road.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL#75 and open it, then click EDIT>COPY>click on the Image 1 tab again then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. leave the size as is and place in the top left area. Okay, click FILE>OPEN>find the EL#44 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 it in the top right area.

Reduce the size by 75% and duplicate over and over in the grass. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the white button with green thread, and reduce the size by 85% and place in all corners. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the EL#43 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 top corners. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #111 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 75% and place on the bottom left, then duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right bottom.
