Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #440 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 #440 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 green 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 12 on raster 1, paper 1 on raster 3, paper 2 on raster 2, paper 15 on raster 4, paper 5 on raster 5.

Next, find and open the Santa's Baby tube, making sure you add her black wings and give her the red and black hair...merge visible layers, and then copy and paste her to the tag; reduce her by 65% and place her on the left of the tag, in the forefront. Go back to the original and erase/cut all but her face...copy and paste it to the tag... reduce it by 50% so it fits in the right circle...erase any extra...use the effects menu and make it black and white and then add an enhanced red filter. Add the el 20 frame on the circle pic.

Next, find and open the el 62 the snow, and leaving the size as is, place it across the bottom of the tag. Next, find and open the el 27 the pole and leaving the size as is, place it on the left side, with the bottom hidden behind the snow. Next, find and open the el 7 light pole and leaving the size as is, place it on the right side of the tag. Next, find and open the el 41 present and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom right corner, in the forefront. Next, find and open el 15 the snow globe and reduce it by 85% and place it on the bottom left, next to the tube. Next, find and open the el 35 the envelope with a bow and reduce it by 95%; place it on the bottom left corner, angled, and in the forefront.

Next, find and open the el 67 Santa's bag and reduce it by 85% and place it on the bottom left, behind the envelope and snow globe. Next, find and open the el 42 present and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom right, behind and slightly above the circle present. Next find and open the el 51 the bear and reduce her by 80% and place on the bottom right, next to the tube. Next, find and open the el 70 the cupcake and reduce it by 90% and place it between the bear and the gift on the bottom right. Next, find and open el 26 the Santa tag and reduce it by 95% and place it angled on the bottom right on top of the square gift.

Next, find and open the el 58 the flower and reduce it by 90% and place it centered on the top right star; duplicate and reduce another 5% and place on the bottom left star. Next, find and open the el 55 Christmas word art and reduce it by 30% and place it on the right side, on the bottom of the circle pic. Next, find and open the el 47 the Santa stop here sign and reduce it by 70% and place it on the left side, in front of the pole. Next, find and open the el 375 the sparkles and duplicate and move around on the tag until you are happy with them Next, find and open the el 6 the white spruce bunch and reduce it by 90% and place at the top right...duplicate it. Find and open the el 75 candy and reduce it by 95% and center it on the white spruce bunch. Next, find and open the el 63 the circle striped candy on a stick; reduce it by 70% and place it on the right side in front of the light pole and the circle pic's frame.

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)!!
