Tutorial using the Lakeside Retreat scrap kit by Jackie's Jewels, and featuring the Brianna tube by Ellie_Milk    

Supplies Needed

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


The Lakeside Retreat scrap kit by Jackie's Jewels,  which is available for purchase at Scrappin Dollars   HERE 

The Brianna tube by Ellie_Milk, which is available for purchase at Pics for Design      HERE

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Any mask 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 metallic silver 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 #2 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. 


Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag!  Now find  the Brianna tube and open her, you will want to hide all the layers that you do not want seen..you want: the girl, the turquoise shirt, the blue bra, and turquoise highlights...merge the visible, and then reduce her size by 65% and center her on the tag.  Now click FILE>OPEN> find the chair and open it, decrease the size by about 70% and place it on the right back side of the tag, use the layers menu and slide the tube back to the forefront. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the well and open it  and reduce the size by 85% and place it to the right of the poser, and the left of the chair..make sure the chair is in the forefront. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the barn and open it... increase the size by 30% and place it at the center of the tag, towards the top..slide tube back to forefront.  

 Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the boat #2 and open it,reduce the size by 70% and , and place it standing up on the far left side of the barn.  Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the  flower #1 and open it...reduce it by 80% and place one in all 4 corners, making sure the sides are going in opposite directions.  Now click FILE>OPEN> find the window #3 and open it, and then  reduce the size by 90% and place it at the very top of the barn on the left side, up at the angle near the roof.

 Now find dirt path and open it and then, decrease the size by 75% and place  it centered behind the tube, going all the way back to the barn, reduce the size by about 45% to make it look realistic.   Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the Cattails and open it, reduce the size by 75% and place on the bottom front right, then duplicate and flip it horizontally...repeat this process on the left side.  Now open the dried flowers and reduce the size by 85% and place one on the bottom left side of the cattails..duplicate 3 times...then duplicate and flip horizontally and move this one over a bit..it should be going the opposite direction...now duplicate this one three times...repeat this process on the cattails on the bottom right side.  Now find flowers 2  and open it, reduce the size by 90% and place on the bottom left side of the cattails...then duplicate and flip it horizontally and slide it over to the right side of the left cattails ...repeat this process on the bottom right side of cattails.  Now find the fence and open it,reduce the size by 80% and place in front of the cattails and flowers on the bottom left..use the side layers menu and slide the fence to the forefront. Repeat this process on the right side.  


 Now find the grass #1 and open it and then, increase the size by 90% and place  it going all the way from the very bottom front of the tag, all the way back to the barn.entered behind the tube, going all the way back to the barn.  Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the sun and open it, reduce the size by 75% and place on the top left of the tag..duplicate it 3 times.  Now find the inner tube and open it,  and reduce the size by 80% and place it on the bottom right side, on the left side of the fence; use the side layers menu to slide it to the forefront.  Now find the vines  and open it, reduce the size by 15% and place it centered on the tag..slide the boat  tube, chair and anything else it covered up, back to the forefront. 

Now find the book and open it,reduce the size by 95% and place in on the chair. Now find the fountain and open it,reduce the size by 85% and place in front left bottom and slide it to the forefront. Now find the lamp and open it,reduce the size by 90% and place it on the top right side of the barn, and flip it horizontally. Now find the stone and open it,reduce the size by 90% and place one by the inner tube,and one at the back of the dirt road on the left.   Now find the water paile and open it,reduce the size by 90% and place it in front of the well..kind of to the left a bit.  

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.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you did, please follow my blog and pass it along to others. If you make a tag using this tutorial, please send it to meat robynebutts@gmail.com, so I can place it on my blog.

Hugs and blessings,
Robyne
