Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #185 from addicitve 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 by Addictive Templates. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask #84 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 pink blush dual toned 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, leaving the size as is; place at the top, and then duplicate and place on the left side.

***(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 # 17 on rasters 10 and copy 12, paper # 3 on rasters 3 and 9, paper # 11 on rasters 7, 8, and 11 4, paper # 15 on raster 5, paper # 21 on raster 2, paper #16 on raster 2, paper #7 on raster 12, and paper # 19 on raster 4.

The next thing we want to do is to start adding our elements to make this tag come to life!! Okay first, find and open the El # 100 the snow and place it at the very bottom of the tag; pull the sides out until the snow goes completely from one side to the other. Next, find and open the El # 27 the snowman on the sled and reduce it by 80% and place it centered on the bottom of the tag. Next, find and open the El # 66 the trees and increase by 20% and place on the left side; you will want it behind the snow and the snowman layers.

Next, find and open the El# 86 the sign and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom right side, making sure it is beneath the snow. Next, find and open the El #94 the winter word art and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom board of the sign. Next, find and open the El # 102 the penguin and reduce it by 75% and place it on the bottom right, to the left of the sign, and on top of the snow layer. Next, find and open the El # 3 the wolf and reduce it by 75% and place it on the bottom left, making sure it is on top of the snow layer.

Next, find and open the El #6 the bird and leave the size as is, flip it horizontally, and place on the middle right side above the penguin. Next, find and open the El # 32 Lamp and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom right in front of the sign and the snow. Next, find and open the El # 11 the bow and reduce it by 75% and place it in the top right corner at an angle; make sure it is in the forefront...duplicate it 4 times so it is darker.

Next, find and open the El # 75 the snowflakes and leaving the size as is, place it on the left side of the tag; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right side. (Play with the placement of the snowflakes until you like where they are). Next, find and open the El 101 the pine comb and reduce it by 95%; place 1 on the bottom left and then duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right side at an angle. Next, find and open the El #2 the bow and reduce it by 85% and place it angled on the top left corner. Next, find and open the El# 58 & 59 and reduce them by 95% and place them on the trees as ornaments. (Again, play with the placements until you like where they are).

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.
