Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. We will not be using a template for this tag, as I wanted it to be more like an actual photo. First, 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 light blue 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, You will only want this at the top of the tag; put it in the top left corner; duplicate, flip it horizontally and place in the top right corner.

***(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!! The very first thing we will want to do is to add our tube. Open the Cowgirl tube by Very Many and using the layers menu, have her hat be pink, her jeans brown, and her boots black..remove the arm tattoo. Reduce her by 40% and center her at the bottom of the tag.

Next, find and open the el 54 the sand and leaving the size as is, place it at the bottom underneath the tube. Duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and move it around til this area is all covered. Next, find and open the el 59 the fence and leaving the size as is, place it behind the tube on the left side...duplicate it and connect where the other one ended. Next, find and open the el 24 the horse and reduce her by 40% and place her behind the fence on the left side. Next, find and open the el 82 the grass and the rocks and leaving the size as is, place it where the fence and the sand meet.

Next, find and open the el 104 the corner grass and reduce it by 70%; place it on the right side behind the fence...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side behind the fence. Next, find and open the el 11 the tree and reduce it by 70% and place it on the top right, behind the fence..but in front of mask. Next, find and open the el 92 the pink flowers and reduce them by 85% and place it on the left side of the fence; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and angle slightly...repeat on the right side of the fence. Next, find and open the el 88 the dog and reduce her by 80% and place her centered at the bottom, in front of the tube.

Next, find and open the el 16 the umbrella and reduce it by 70% and place angled on the left behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 81 the black concrete pads and leaving the size as is, place it on the right bottom under the tube; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left side under the tube. Next, find and open the el 106 the stump and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom right, with the tube's hand resting on it. Next find and open the el 72 lantern and reduce it by 90% and place on the right side above and behind the stump.

Next, find and open the el 73 the limb and leaving the size as is, place it on the left side behind the horse. Next, find and open the el 83 and leaving the size as is, place it on the bottom layer and move it down to the top of the fence. Next, find and open the el 45 the fishing pole and reduce it by 30% and place on the right side, behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 27 the white flowers, and leaving the size as is place it in front of the fence and behind the umbrella. Next, find and open the el 96 the box of pink flowers and reduce it by 90% and place it in front of the grass and rocks on the left side.

Next, find and open the el 6 the white star and place centered up top in the blue sky; duplicate it 7 times to make it super bright. Duplicate again and turn it...duplicate this one 7 times. Next, find and open the el 28 the yellow flowers and reduce them by 90% and place on the right side at the bottom of the fence in the forefront...duplicate and move above the other one. Next, find and open el 63 and 64 the pink and yellow flowers and reduce them by 98% and place them sporadically in the tree on the top right side, until you are happy with their placement.

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.
