Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #438 by Millie's PSP Madness

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you want to do is open the #4381 template by Millies PSP Madness. Then, 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 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 dual toned brown 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 and moving it around until you are happy with its position.

***(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.)***

The next thing we want to do is to start adding our elements to make this tag come to life!! First, we need to put our papers on our template. The papers should be as follows: paper 3 on raster 1, paper 2 on raster 2, paper 1 on rasters 3 and 4, paper 4 on raster 5, and paper 7 on rasters 7 and 8.

Next, find and open the Sparrow poser tube, leaving her in the blue shirt...copy and paste her to the tag, reduce her size by 60% and center her on the tag. Go back to the original and erase/cut all but her face...copy and paste it to the tag...flip it horizontally and reduce it by 70% so it fits to the left of the poser...duplicate and flip horizontally and place on the right...make both sepia toned.

Next, find and open the el 48 the screen, and leaving the size as is, place it on top of raster 2. Next, find and open the el 10 the burgundy ribbon and bow and reduce it by 60% and place it on the top left above the screen layer; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the top right. Next, find and open the el 4 the white flower and reduce it by 90% and place on top of the burgundy bows. Next, find and open the el 3 the brown flower and reduce it by 95% and center it on the white flowers. Next, find and open el 8 the blue butterfly and reduce it by 95% and place centered in the left top brown flower; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place in the right flower. Next, find and open the burgundy stone and reduce by 98% and place in the center of both butterflies.

Next, find and open the el 23 the blue frame and reduce it to fit the square area behind the small close up on the left..duplicate and place on the right..make sure the closeups are in the forefront, not the frame. Next, find and open the el 46 the small fence piece and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom left; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and connect the 2...repeat on the other side...make sure they are behind the tube. Next find and open the el 19 the grass and place it on the bottom left in front of the fence...duplicate it...duplicate again and flip it horizontally..duplicate again; repeat process on the bottom right.

Next, find and open the el 44 the tree and reduce it by 85% and place on the bottom left, in front of the fence and grass; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the bottom right. next, find and open the el 32 the hand print and reduce it by 80% and place it in the bottom right corner; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 20 chained hearts and reduce it by 90% and place on the right bottom corner of the right close up; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left side. Next, find and open the el 36 the sunglasses and reduce them by 95% and place them like they are hanging from the poser's hands.

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.
