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 #8. 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 #22. 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 silver 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...increase the size by 20%...and center it.

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 wire heart..so open the heart and increase it by 20% and center it on top of the mask. The next thing we want to do is to add our girl. Find and open the pink girl, reduce her size by 30% and center her on the tag, towards the bottom. Next, find the bear and reduce it by 60% and place it at the bottom right of the girl...make sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the bow #2 and reduce it by 40%...place it in the top right corner...duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and place in the top left corner.

Next, find and open the light pink bow, and reduce it by 70%...place it centered in the darker bow in the top right corner...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and do the same on the top left. Next, find and open the heart dangly, and reduce it by 70% and hang it from the left top corner bows, where the top is slightly hidden behind the bows...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the top right. Next, find and open the wings, and leave them sized as is...center it behind the girl's shoulders.

Next, find and open the heart ribbon and reduce it by 60% and place it on the bottom right, on the layer in front of the bear. Next, find and open the diamond and reduce it by 40%, and place it on the bottom left, slightly behind the girl. Next, find and open the rose with feathers and pearls, and reduce it by 30% and place it in the bottom left corner. Next, find and open the ribbon angel and reduce it by 60% and place it on the left side...duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and place it on the right side.

Next, find and open the mask and reduce it by 40%, and place it on the bottom left of the diamond, and slightly above it. Next, find and open the deco and reduce it by 20%...place it on the right bottom area where the flower shows...duplicate and place towards the top...repeat process on the other side, only flipping it horizontally. Next, find and open the bracelet and reduce it by 70% and place on the bottom right, behind the deco..you will want the silver part to be clear to read.

Next, find and open the sparkles and leave it sized as is...place it on the top 1/3 of the tag...then duplicate it and flip it horizontally...duplicate again and place on center 1/3...duplicate and flip it horizontally...duplicate again and flip it vertically and place on bottom 1/3...duplicate one more time and flip it horizontally. Next, find and open the dove and reduce it by 75% and place it on the top center next to the left bows...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place by the right bows.

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