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 transparent, and make sure the transparent box is 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 Sisterzpstreasures. 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 gold 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! :) Next add your paper...find and open paper #20, and copy it and paste it on the mask...then slide the mask layer on top of the paper.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the included balcony and open it. Reduce the size by 35% and place it on the right top of the tag. next, find and open the carriage and reduce it by 70% and place it on the right bottom of the tag. Next open the included posers and choose the romiette #3 and reduce her by 80% and then place her on the balcony; use the side layers menu, and slide the balcony to the forefront. Next, find and open the Juleo #3 poser and reduce his size by 80%. Place him to the left of the carriage.

Now find and open the flower #6 and reduce it by 85%. Place it on the bottom right side of the balcony window. Next, find and open the cattynine tails and reduce their size by 70%, and place it on the left side of the flowers #6, leaving an open space between them. Now find and open the mushrooms and reduce their size by 70% and place them in between the flowers and the cattynine tails. Now, find and open the swag and reduce it by 50%, and place it across the balcony. Next, find and open the ladder, and reduce it size by 55% and place it on the right side of the balcony, starting at the flower #6.

Next, find and open the bench and reduce it by 70%. and place it on the left bottom of the tag. ow find and open the grass and reduce it by 15% and place it across the bottom...use the side layers menu and slide the bench and the boy poser back to the forefront. Next, find and open the tree, and reduce its size by 70% and place it on the left side of the tag, behind the right side of the bench, next to the balcony.Now find and open the rose and reduce its size by 90%, and place it in the boy's hand. Next, find and open the butterfly, and reduce it by 90%, and place it to the left of the girl's head, on the right door of the balcony, and the mushrooms, and on the right side of the tree.

Now find and open the pile of leaves, reduce the size by 80% and then keep duplicating it and sliding it over, until it goes all the way across the bottom of the tag. Next, find and open the guitar, and reduce it by 75% and place it in the boy's right hand; use the side layers menu and slide the guitar to the front. Now find the "love" word art #2 and reduce it by 85% and place on the top of the curtain, on the top of the balcony. Next, find and open the flowers 31 and reduce it by 90%, and place on the left leg of the bench, flip it horizontally...duplicate it and the place it on the right leg of the bench...flip it horizontally. Next, find and open the pebbles. Leave the size as is and place on the bottom of the tag, Slide the flowers back and slide the rocks up, using the side layers menu. Lastly, find and open the love letter, and reduce it by 95% and place it in the girl's right hand.
