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 #4 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. Slide the mask to be on top of the paper.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the Gloria full view tube and open her, reduce her size by 35% and center her on the tag. Now find the rose with the skull and open it and reduce it by 80% and then place one in each corner, making sure the sides are going different directions. Find the sucker and open it , and then reduce it by 80% and place it centered on each side of the tag. Now find the bunny and open it, reduce the size by 80%, and place on the left side of the tube. Now find the cupcake #1 and open it, and then reduce it by 90% and place it on the left side of the bunny. Now find the pierced lips top and bottom of the side suckers.

Now click FILE>OPEN> find the lipstick and open it, decrease the size by about 80% and place on the right bottom side. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the polish with a skull and open it and decrease the size by 85% and place it on the left of the lipstick. Now open the small nail polish bottle and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the left of the other polish..slide it to the forefront. Now open the drink #1 and open it and then reduce its size by 80% and place it on the bottom right, behind the lipstick and polish...by using the side layers menu to slide those to the forefront. Find the bottle of wine and open it, and then reduce it by 80% and place it behind the small bottle of nail polish. Now find the butterfly #2 and open it, and reduce the size by 85% and place one on both the top left, and the top right. Now find the sparkle #1 and open it and leave the size as is, and center it on the tag. Now open the sparkle #3 and leave the size as is, and center it on the tag...now use the side layers menu and slide the corner flowers back to the forefront.

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.
