Mask #10 from Moonbeams & Spiderwebs

Template # 185 by Addictive Templates

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you will need to do, is to open the template #185 from Addictive Templates. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask from Moonbeams & Spiderwebs #10. 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 pink shaded 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! :) Just copy and paste it to the tag on the top right area...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place in the top left...duplicate again flip it vertically and place it on the bottom left, then duplicate it one more time and flip it horizontally and place on bottom right. Repeat this process again using a brown gradient, and invert the masks where they are upside down from the last placement of the pink ones.

***(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.)***

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! The first thing we want to do, is place papers on parts of our template. The following is where your papers should be. Paper #1 on raster 10 the very back square, paper # 2 on raster 9 the back left rectangle, paper #12 on raster 5 the purple rectangle, paper #16 on raster 6 the blue square, paper #4 on raster 7 the white rectangle, paper#6 on raster 8 the bottom blue rectangle, paper #5 on raster 3 the lavender circle on the right, paper #24 on raster 2 the aqua oval, paper #16 on raster 12 the small white squares, and paper#33 on raster 4 the front circle. The next thing we want to do is to add our tube images. Find and open the full view tube image; reduce it by 65% and place it on the left bottom of the tag. Next, find and open the close up 2 image of the tube; reduce it by 90% and place in the front circle to the right of the tube, and flip it horizontally. (Make sure u remove the tattoos and piercings from both the full view and the close up tubes).

Next, find the El #25 the pink tulle bunch and reduce the size by 80% and place on the bottom right side of the small close up tube image...duplicate it and flip it horizontally...repeat this process on the left bottom side of the close up tube. Next, find and open the El# 1 the dog and reduce it by 85% and place it behind the tube's legs. Next, find and open the El # 53 the coffee cup and reduce the size by 98% and place it in the forefront, between the tube's hands. Next, find and open the El # 103 the green balll tree and reduce it by 25% and place it on the bottom right side of the tag, making sure it is in the forefront.

Next, find and open the El # 64 the LOVE word art and reduce it by 40% and place in the very bottom right hand corner, and make sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the El #77 the rhinestone flower and reduce it by 25% and place it in the top left corner, with the bottom part behind the oval layer. Next, find and open the El# 99 the door, and reduce it by 40% and place it on the left behind the oval. Next, find and open the El #3 the bubbles and butterflies, and place it at the bottom, duplicate it and flip it horizontally and put in the top right.

Next, find and open the El # 28 the bird and reduce it by 98% and place it on the top of the tree on the right. Next, find and open the El #20 the bow and reduce it by 90% and place on the center of the tree...duplicate it and reduce it 5% more and place at the top center of the tree. Next, find and open the El #114 the heart stone and reduce it by 95% and place on the bottom to the left of the tree, at an angle...make sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the El #84 the pink pearls and reduce it by 40% and place on the right of the close up pic...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place to the left of the close up tube pic.

Next, find and open the El #42 the leaves with the flower and reduce it by 60% and place below the full view tube on the far left...duplicate and flip it horizontally and move over slightly to the right..repeat again and move over a little more to the right. Next, find and open the El # 106 the hanging heart gem, and reduce it by 98% and place it on the left top side of the door behind the tube. Next, find and open the El# 109 the round multicolored rhinestone and reduce it by 85% and place it at the top in the center of the template papers. Your last element is El # 55 the flower...open it and reduce the size by 90% and place at the top left, at the corners of the papers.

Lastly, add 3D drop shadows wherever you would like them to be. Make sure at this point that you add the copyright information (VERY IMPORTANT)!!
