Mask #81 from Wee Scott Lass

Template 301 by Millie's PSP Madness

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 301 by Millie's PSP Madness. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask #81 from Wee Scott Lass. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the 1st 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, increasing the size by 20% and place it towards the right side of the tag.

***(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 # 8 on raster 2, paper # 11 on raster 3, paper # 6 on raster 4, paper # 1 on rasters 5 & 7, and paper # 12 on raster 6.

The next thing we want to do is to add your poser. Find and open the cookie #1...copy and paste her on the center of the tag towards the bottom; make sure she is in the forefront. Next, find and open the El # 25 the tree with presents under it and reduce it by 40%; place it on the bottom right side, behind the poser layer. Next, find and open the El # 43 the snow and leaving the size as is, place it at the bottom of the tag..pull the sides out to the edges of the tag. Next, find and open the El # 19 the fireplace and reduce it by 20%, and place it on the bottom left, behind the tube layer. Next, find and open the El # 41 the blue candy cane and reduce it by 95% and place it on the poser's thumb.

Next, find and open the El# 49 the paper with the blue bow, and reduce it by 85% and place it angled on the top left. Next, find and open the El #45 the silvery glitter flower and reduce it by 90% and place it in the top left corner. Next, find and open the El # br2 bow and reduce it by 65% and place it angled on the top right side, in the forefront. Next, find and open the El # 34 the blue flower and reduce it by 90% and place it in the center of the bow on the top right.

Next, find and open the El #br16 the white ribbon with silver balls, and reduce it by 15%; place it on the top left. Next, find and open the El # 8 the white diamond scatter, and reduce it by 30% 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 El # 52 the pine comb and reduce it by 95% and place in the very bottom left corner; duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and place it directly to the right of the first one.

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)!!

You did it! You now have finished this tag. Finally, add a name in any font and color of your choosing. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
