Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #297 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 # 297 by Millie's Psp Madness. 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; for this tag, I used the mask 2 times..for the bottom layer I chose a black and white dual toned gradient...for the top layer I chose a dual toned blush pink 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 increase the size by 10%...move it around until you are happy with the amount that shows. Repeat this process with the pink layer, but not taking it out as far as the black 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 20 on rasters 1 and 2, paper 11 on raster 3, paper 16 on rasters 4 and 5, paper blushed mat on raster 6, paper 4 on raster 7, paper 18 on raster 8, and paper 17 on raster 9.

The next thing we want to do is to start adding our elements to make this tag come to life!! The very first thing we will want to do is to add our Secret tube. Open her and make sure she has the pink hair and the gray skirt on...merge visible layers..copy and paste to the right side of the tag, towards the bottom...decrease the size by 35%.

Next, find and open the el 9 the pink suitcase and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 22 the polish and reduce it by 95% and place it on the far left bottom of the suitcase, making sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 63 the white tulle and leaving the size as it is, place it on the top left on top of the circles layers so it is peeping put...duplicate it and flip it horizontally. Next, find and open the el 35 the eye shadow and reduce it by 95% and place it on the bottom left, on the right side of the suitcase; make sure it is in the forefront.

Next, find and open the el 20 the blush brush and reduce it by 90%...flip it vertically and place it angled slightly behind the polish. Next, find and open the el 21 the mascara and reduce it by 95% and place it on the bottom left, behind the eye shadow. Next, find and open the el 23 lipstick and reduce it by 95% and place on the bottom left, partially behind the polish. Next, find and open the el 28 the white bow and reduce it by 40% and then place it angled on the top left corner of the black square. Next, find and open el 59 the pink flower and reduce it by 90% and center it on the white bow.

Next, find and open the el 53 pink flower on a twig and angle it on the top right corner; find and open el 42 the black flowers on a stem and place them in the upper right corner, just beneath the pink ones. Next, find and open the el 30 the heart rhinestone and reduce by 30% and place at the very top of the plaid part that is sticking up. Next, find and open the el 55 the white flower and reduce it by 95% and center it on the top of the heart charm.

Next, find and open the el 1 the sparkles and increase it by 10% and place on the left side. Next, find and open the el 32 the xoxo word art bling and reduce it by 85% and place it angled on the black square. Next, find and open the el 27 the pink metal flower and reduce it by 90% and place it on the left side with the black and white polka dots.

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.
