Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #255 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 # 255 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 bright yellow 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 5 on rasters 1 and 7, paper 13 on rasters 2 and 3, paper 12 on rasters 4 and 5, and paper 10 on raster 6.

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 jane poser. Find and open the #5 Jane poser and reduce her by 40% and place her at the bottom of the tag, towards the left. Next, find and open the wood bridge and reduce it by 60% and place it behind the poser, where the poser is sitting on the end of it. Next, find and open the palm tree and reduce it by 40 and place it in the top left corner below raster 6.

Next, find and open the bushy field and reduce it by 20%, and place it across the bottom, and make sure it is in the background. Next, find and open the fern and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom right corner...duplicate it and flip it horizontally...duplicate and place on bottom left corner...duplicate again and flip it horizontally. Next, find and open the jaguar and reduce it by 65% and place it on the bottom right. Next, find and open the monkey and reduce it by 80% and place it on the bottom left, in front of the poser.

Next, find and open the macaw 3 and reduce it by 90% and place it in the top right area, making sure it is behind the palm tree layer. Next, find and open the coconuts and reduce them by 90% and place in the bottom right corner, in the forefront. Next, find and open the fruit 5 and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom left, also in the forefront. Next, find and open the fruit 2 and reduce it by 98% and place sporadically in the palm tree.

Next, find and open the bowl and reduce it by 95% and place it in front of and to the left of the poser. Next, find and open the umbrella and reduce it by 70% and place it on the right of the poser at an angle...decrease the size of the word art and place it on the umbrella. Next, find and open the flower 3 and reduce it by 40% and place it on the left bottom side, in the background.

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.
