Mask # 84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #421 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 #421 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; I chose a red 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, and increase the size by 10%...move it around until you are happy with the amount that shows.

***(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 9 on rasters 1 and 5, paper 14 on rasters 3, 6, and 7, and paper 7 on rasters 2 and 4.

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 Emily tube by Alex_Prihodko. Okay, first find and open the full-view of the tube and make sure she is in the red out fit and has on the tights...merge visible layers; copy her and, reduce her size by 50% and place her centered on the tag at the bottom...make sure she is in the forefront.

Next, find and open the gifts 2 and reduce them by 25% and place them on the bottom left, behind the tube's foot. Next, find and open the snow and place it at the bottom behind the tube layer...keep duplicating it and flipping it horizontally and moving it around, until the bottom is covered. Next, find and open the trees and leaving the size as is, place them on the right side of the tag, behind the tube. Next, find and open the ornament, the bow 2, and the bulb and reduce by 95% and place them all sporadically all over the 2 trees. Next, find and open the star 2 and reduce it by 80% and place one at the top of each tree.

Next, find and open the bunny and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom right, in the crook of the tube's arm. Next, find and open the candle and reduce it by 98% and place it on the bottom left, in front of the gifts. Next, find and open the bow 2 and reduce it by 40% and place it angled at the top left, and open the cluster 2 and reduce it by 80% and place it in the center of the bow...open bow 1 and reduce it by 90% and place on top of cluster hook. Next, find and open the icicles and leaving the size as is, place centered at the top of the tag.

Next, find and open the flower 2 and reduce it by 80% and place it on the top of raster 6...open present 2 and reduce it by 90% and center on the flower. Next, find and open the snow sparkles 2 and place on the left side; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right..make sure they are behind the tree layer...repeat process with the red flakes. Next, find and open the stocking and reduce it by 90% and place hanging on the bottom left of the sign,,,duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right bottom of the sign.

Next find and open the candy cane and reduce it by 80% and center it between the stockings, with the bottom being hidden behind the tube. Next, find and open the cookies and reduce them by 85% and place on the bottom right, next to the candle; make sure they are in the forefront. Make word art for MERRY to place on the top half of the sign.

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)!!
