Tutorial using the Rockin USA scrap kit by KizzedByKelz, and featuring the Amber tube by VeryMany

Supplies Needed

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

The Rocckin USA scrap kit by KizzedByKelz, which is available for purchase at Scrap Candy HERE

The Amber tube by VeryMany, which is available for purchase at The VeryMany shop 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 white 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 #6 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 Amber tube by VeryMany and open it VeryMany and open her, and then reduce her size by 65% and place her in the center of the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the bow #1 and open it, decrease the size by about 80% and place one in each of the 4 corners, making sure the sides go opposite directions. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the bow #2 and open it and decrease the size by 90% and place one in the center of each corner bow. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the banner 2 and open it...Leave the size as is and place at the top of the tag, stretch the sides all the way out. Open the patriotic lips and reduce the size by 90% and place in the creases in the banner.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the stars #1 and open it, decrease the size by 75% and place it on the tag in quarters..top left quarter...right top quarter...both bottom quarters. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the keyboard and open it...increase it by 15% and center behind the poser. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the lolli and open it, and then reduce the size by 85% and place one on each side of the tag at the ends of the keyboard.

Now find the speakers and open it and then, decrease the size by 75% and place it angled on the bottom left. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the corset and open it, reduce the size by 70% and place it on the right side of the tube. Now open the boot and open it, and reduce the size by 75% and place next to the corset and flip it horizontally. Now find the microphone and open it, and increase the size by 30% and place on the left side, behind the speakers. Now find the guitar and open it, and reduce the size by 70% and place on the far left side of the speakers, at the bottom.

Now find the star #2 and open it, decrease the size by 50% and place one in each of the bottom corners. and one on each side of the keyboard. Now find the cupcake and open it, decrease the size by 90% and place it on the bottom right side of the tube. Now find the white fireworks and open it and then and duplicate it 3 times...flip it horizontally and duplicate 3 times. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the sparkles #2 and open it, reduce the size by 75% and place on tag in quarters..top 2 quarter..bottom 2 quarters.

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.
