Mask #192 from Wee Scott Lass

Template # 375 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 #375 form Millie's PSP Madness. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask # 192 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 black and white 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 on the right side, then angle it to the right...duplicate and flip horizontally and then flip it vertically and place on the left side...make sure the mask is on the very back layer.

***(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 # 12 on rasters 6 & 7, paper # 7 on rasters 1 & 2, paper # 14 on rasters 3 & 4, paper # 16 on raster 5, paper # 4 on raster 8, and paper # 15 on rasters 9 & 10. The next thing we want to do is to add our tube images. Find and open the full view of the Katty tube...make sure her hair is red and her jacket is yellow...merge visible layers,; decrease her size by 65% and center her on the tag, towards the bottom. Now duplicate it and erase or cut all but her face and increase it by 20% and place in the right circle...duplicate and flip horizontally and place in left circle. Use the effects menu and make both head shots and the circles they are on to be the fine canvas texture.

Next, find the el 330 the glitter splatter and reduce it by 30%; place it on the left side in front of the mask layer...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right side. Next, find and open the el # 18 and reduce it by 40% and place it on the bottom right...duplicate it and move it over a bit..repeat on the other side, going the opposite direction. Next, find and open the el 348 the flower bunch and reduce it by 65% and place on the bottom right side on top of raster 9; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el # 64 the black flower and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom left on the layer behind the flower bunch; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom right.

Next, find and open the el # 63 the mushroom and reduce it by 65% and place it on the bottom right on the layer behind the black flower; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left side. Next, find and open the el # 21 the yellow flower and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom left corner in front of the flower bunch; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place in the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the el # 49 the yellow ribbon and reduce it by 60% and place it on the top left on top of raster 9; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the top right.

Next, find and open the el # 44 the stick bundle and reduce it by 50% and place on the bottom left side of the tube at an angle on top of the mushroom layer; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right side. Next, find and open the el # 51 the reddish ribbon, and leaving the size as is, place it at the top behind only the tube. Next, find and the el # 22 the butterfly and reduce it by 85% and place it angled in the top left corner, in the forefront. Next, find and open the el # 13 the snail and reduce it by 98% and place it on the bottom right side of the tube on the layer in front of the stick bundle; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left.

Next, find and open the el # 53 flower and reduce it by 98% and place it on the top left, to the right of the butterfly; make sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the el # 15 the bird and reduce it by 98% and place on the bottom left on top of the mushroom; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom right on top of the mushroom. Next, find and open the el # 27 the burgundy flower and reduce it by 98% and place it on the top left in the center of the yellow bow; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place in the center of the yellow bow on the top left.

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)!!
