The Purple Shadows tube by Arthur Crowe, which is available for purchase at The Arthur Crowe Factory 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 Bunny;s Attic. 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 Purple Shadows tube by Arthur Crowe and open her, and then reduce her size by 65% and place her to the right side of the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #58 flower 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 EL #66 butterfly and open it and reduce the size by 90% and place one butterfly in the center of each flower, again making sure that the sides are going in opposite directions. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #61 and open it...reduce the size by 35% and place it on the left side of the tag.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL # 68 clock and open it, decrease the size by 50% and center it at the top center of the purple part, and then slide the tube back to the forefront. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the EL #12 and open it...reduce it by 50% and place it one the left side, then duplicate and flip it horizontally; then use the side layers menu to slide the flower and the butterfly back to the forefront. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the El #37 and open it, and then reduce the size to fit the tag exactly, then use the side layers menu and slide it down to the layer before the mask layer.

Now find the El# 17 and open it and then, decrease the size by 75% and place it on the side of the purple flowers on the left, duplicate it 2 times, moving it up each time....now repeat the same steps on the right side. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #28 and open it, reduce the size by 45% and place it on the left, and then duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right side. Now open the El #53 and open it, and reduce the size by 80% and place on the chair, duplicate.

Now find the El #32 and open it, increase the size by 25% and place it on the chair, slide it to the forefront. Now find the El #21 and open it, increase the size by 55% and place it on the bottom left. Now find the El# 10 and open it and then, decrease the size by 70% and place it on the bottom front of the tag..keep duplicating and flipping horizontally over and over...about 7 times; use the ;layers menu and slide the stones back to the forefront. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the El# 34 and open it, reduce the size by 90% and place on the the front of the left chair arm, flip it vertically, and place it on the right arm chair and flip it vertically. Now find the El #75 and open it, and then reduce the size by 75%, and place it on the hole at the top of the chair.

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.
