Tutorial using the Flora scrap kit by MistyLynn's Creations and featuring the Luisa tube by Zlata_M

Supplies Needed

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

The Flora scrap kit by MistyLynn's Creations, which can be purchased at Scraps and the City HERE

The Luisa tube by Zlata_M, which is available at Pics for Design 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 Aimoo.com. 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 teal and blue 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! :) We will not be adding a paper to this tag.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the Luisa tube by Zlata_M, and hide all the elements you do not want on her (tats, the signature, and the background...then merge the visible layers. Reduce her by 40% and center her on the tag.Now open the wire and leave the size as is, and center it on the tag .Make sure it is on top of the mask layer. Next find and open the fire #1 and place it at the bottom of the tag, decrease it by width and increase the length until it goes completely from side to side.

Now find the cupcake #2 and open it and reduce it by 80% and place it on the left bottom. Next, find and open the bracelet #2 and reduce the size by 75%. Now find and open the drink #2, and reduce it by 85% and place it on the left bottom, behind the cupcake. Next find and open the skull candy #1 and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom left, above the bracelet. Now open the skull flower #1 and reduce its size by 85% and place it on the bottom left, right above the candy.

Next find and open the bunny and reduce it by 805 and place it on the right bottom side of the poser. Next find and open the skull candy 2 sucker, and reduce the size by 85% and place it on the right of the bunny. Now open the skull flower #4 and reduce its size by 805 and place on the right bottom, on the stick of the sucker. Next open the shoe #2 and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom right, by the flower.

Now find and open the frame #1 and reduce its size by 65% and place it to the left of the tube, towards the top. Find and open paper #8 and reduce the size by 85% and place it underneath the frame...use the eraser tool to erase any paper that is still hanging outside the frame. Now add the close up #2 of the Luisa tube and reduce her to fit inside the frame...again, use the eraser to erase anything hanging outside the frame. Now go to the Effects menu and make the tube black and white. Now open the bow #2 and reduce by 70% and place on bottom of frame. then open the bow # 1 and reduce by 85% and place centered on the other bow.

Now find and open the frame #2 and reduce its size by 65% and place it to the left of the tube, towards the top. Find and open paper #3 and reduce the size by 85% and place it underneath the frame...use the eraser tool to erase any paper that is still hanging outside the frame. Now add the close up #2 of the Luisa tube and reduce her to fit inside the frame...again, use the eraser to erase anything hanging outside the frame. Now go to the Effects menu and make the tube sepia. Lastly, find and open the butterfly #3 and place towards the right top of the frame.

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.
