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 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 yellow 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 using a paper for this tag.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the El #16 the girl poser and open her. reduce her size by 45% and center her on the tag. Now find and open the El #25 metal fence. Place on top of the mask and decrease the sides to match the mask. Now use the side layers menu and slide the poser back to the forefront. Now find and open theEl #30 purple flames and decrease the size by 30% and place on the left side of the tube...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the right side of the tube. Again, use the side layers menu and slide the poser back to the forefront. Now find and open the El 27 black glitter splats and reduce the size by 75%, and place on the right side...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left.

Next, find and open the El #14 sequins and reduce the size by 60% and place on the bottom right-hand side. Duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left. Use the side layers men u and slide it to the forefront. Now find and open the El #11 bunny and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the bottom left, and slide it to the forefront. Next, find and open EL #12 skull with roses and decrease the size by 70% and place it on the bottom right; slide it to the forefront.Now find and open the El #38 beads on a string and reduce by 45%. Place on the right side and make sure it is behind the elements on the bottom of the tag. Duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side.

Next, find and open the El #33 bottlecap and reduce it by 25%, and place it to the right of the bunny. Use the side layers menu and slide it to the forefront. Next, find and open the El# 32 heart and reduce it by 65% and place it on the bottom, to the left of the skull. Now find and open the El# 31 heart and wings. leave the size as is and place it at the top, centered. Now find and open the El# 6 lips and reduce it by 90% and place them right below the yellow heart. Now find and open the El#36 the pink and purple rose and reduce it by 90% and place it on the left side between the bunny and the bottle cap.Lastly, find the El#9 and place on both sides, next to the beads..make sure the sticks are slid behind other elements.

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.
