The Posh Puppy scrap kit by Designs by Sarah, which can be purchased at Pimp my tags with Scraps at: HERE

The Kelly tube by VeryMany, which can be purchased at the VeryMany tube shop at: 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 the 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 #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.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Now find the Kelly tube by VeryMany and open it and open her, remove the parts u do not want seen and merge the visible layers, and then reduce her size by 65% and place her in the center of the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the doghouse and open it, decrease the size by about 70% and place it on the left side, towards the back. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the posh puppy dog #2 and open it and decrease the size by 80% and place it to the left of the poser. Now open the flower #3 and reduce it by 80%, and place one in all 4 corners...now go back to each corner and duplicate and flip it horizontally...this makes a full bow.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the print #2 and open it, leave the size as is, duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and then use the side layers menu to slide the doggie to the forefront. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the ribbon #1 and open it...decrease the size by 50% and place at the top left of the tag, duplicate it and move it to the middle top, duplicate again and move to the far top right...repeat this process across the bottom of the tag; now use the side layers menu and slide the flowers on the corners back to the top. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the tiara and open it, and then reduce the size by 80% and place it on the top center and slide it to the forefront.

Now find the shampoo and open it and then, decrease the size by 90% and place it on the right of the tube on the bottom. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the brush and open it, reduce the size by 90% and place it on on the bottom right angled on the shampoo bottle. Now open the swirl and open it, and reduce the size by 50% and place on the far right side in the center...duplicate it 4 times, then flip it horizontally and duplicate 4 times...repeat this process on the left side. Now find the bone pink diamond pendant and open it, and reduce the size by 90% and place one in the center of the swirls on both sides of the tag.

Now find the bone and open it, decrease the size by 95% and place it to the left of the dog. Now find the bowl of dog food and open it, decrease the size by 95% and place it at the left back on the left bottom area of the dog house. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the can of dog food and open it, reduce the size by 95% and place it between the brush and the shampoo on the bottom right side.

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.
