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. Now add your background paper. I have chosen the paper #2. Open the paper, then copy and paste it to the blank image, and then reduce the size to fit.

***(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 Moonbeams & Spiderwebs #35. 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 blue and green 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, and make sure it is on front of the paper.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! The first thing we want to do, is add the El #5 the bench. Open the bench and reduce it by 35%, center it and move it closer to the bottom. The next thing we want to do is to add our tube; find and open the Romance Spring tube and make sure she has on the brown outfit and shoes...reduce her size 35% and place her on the bench..flip her horizontally and move it to the right side of the bench. Next, find the El #9 and reduce it by 70% and place on the bottom right of the bench. Next, find and open the El #58 the tree lamp and reduce it by 75%, and place it on the left side and hide the roots of it behind the tube's shoes.

Next, find and open the El #34 the mushroom group and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom left, in front of the bench. Next, find and open the El #23 the mushroom and reduce it by 85% and place it on the bottom right, slightly behind the stump. Next, find and open the El# 5 and reduce it by 75% and place it on the top left...duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and place it on the top right.

Next, find and open the El #22 the squirrel and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom, to the left of the stump and mushroom. Next, find and open the El #33 the acorn and reduce it by 97% and place one on each side of the mushroom bunch and the stump and mushroom, going in opposite directions. Next, find and open the El #17 the door, and reduce it by 40% and place it on the right side, behind the bench. Next, find and open the El #55 the yellow flower bunch and reduce it by 85% and place it at the top right of the door, covering the hinges...duplicate it and flip this one horizontally and place at the bottom of the first one.

Next, find and open the El #35 the blue flower bunch and reduce it by 70% and place it on the right at the bottom of the yellow flowers...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left side. Next, find and open the El #6 the string lights and reduce it by 75% and place in the top left corner...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place in the top right corner. Next, find and open the El #36 the grape bunch and reduce it by 95% and place on the right of the bench...duplicate and flip it horizontally and move it over slightly...repeat process on the other side.

Next, find and open the El #4 the lamp and reduce it by 95% and place it on top of the stump, make sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the El #11 the owl and reduce it by 95% and place on the top back of the bench.Next, find and open the El #1 and reduce it by 30% and place on the top left...duplicate it, flip it horizontally and place on the top right.

Finally, find and open El #60 and reduce it by 30% and place it across the bottom of the tag...make sure it goes from side to side.
