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 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 #8, and copy it and paste it on the mask...then slide the mask layer on top of the paper. Now decrease the size of the mask, by pushing in the corners...what you want is to have an even amount of paper around the outside edges.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the Black Rose 2 tube and hide all options besides the green ones, then merge visible. Reduce her by 60% and center her towards the bottom of the tag. Now open El #2 and reduce it by 50%, and center it behind the tube, Use the side layers menu and slide it to the mask layer, so it is in the forefront. Now find and open El#30, and leave the size as is, and then center it on the tag. Now open El#32 and reduce it by 60% and place it angled at the top left...now duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the top right.

Now find and open El#5 and reduce by 40% and place it on the right side and slide it to the speakers, using the side layers menu. Now duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side. Next, find and open El#20 and reduce it by 75% and place it in the right top corner, then duplicate it and flip it horizontally, duplicate again...duplicate again and flip it horizontally...repeat process on the left side. Now find and open the El #3 and reduce it by 90% and place it in the center of the black bow top on the right..duplicate and flip it horizontally...repeat on top left.

Now find and open the El #7 and reduce it by 90% and place it between her legs; now use the side layers menu and slide it to the speakers layer. Now find and open the El#35 and reduce it by 30% and place on the left of the mask area and angle...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right, angled. Now find and open the El#21, and leave the size as is, and place it centered and slide to mask layer.

Next, find and open the El#26 and leave sized as is. Place it at the bottom of the tag. Now duplicate it 4 times, moving it upwards and flipping it horizontally each time. Then use the side layers menu and slide the top 2 down to the layer before the paper. Now find and open El#22 and reduce it by 90% and place on the bottom left side; use the side layers menu and slide it to the confetti layer...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the right side. now find and open EL#38 and reduce it by 95% and place one centered on each of the top bows.

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.
