Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #67 from 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 #67 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 metallic gold 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 5 on raster 1, paper 8 on raster 2, paper 9 on rasters 5 and 6, paper 6 on rasters 7 and 8.

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 Burlesque Santa tube. Open her in the red outfit, and copy and paste her full-view to the tag, making sure she is in the forefront. Reduce her size by 10% and center her on the tag. Now, open the close up view in the green and erase all from the neck down..place on left circle and decrease size to fit...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right circle. Use the effects menu and give the circle pics as well as the circles they are on the fine canvas texture.

Next, find and open the lace snowflake and reduce it by 20% and center it behind all the tube layers. Next, find and open the white tree and reduce it by 50% and place it on the right side, behind the close up tube. Next, find and open the gold bow and reduce it by 90% and place at the top of the tree; duplicate it and flip it horizontally to make a fuller bow. Next, find and open the bells and reduce the size by 90% and place them hanging from the center of the gold bow on the tree.

Next, find and open the red and green balls and reduce them by 98%; place 2 of each on the tree where you like them. Next, find and open the fire place and reduce it by 65% and place it on the bottom left of the tag, in the forefront. Next, find and open the purse and lipstick and reduce it by 80% and place it on the left bottom of the fireplace, in the forefront. Next, find and open the feather fan and reduce it by 90% and place it angled in the full-view tube's hand.

Next, find and open the champagne flute and reduce it by 80% and place it in the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the red frosted berries and reduce them by 90% and place them behind and above the flute. Next, find and open the gold holly and reduce it by 95% and place where the flute top and frosted berries meet., in the forefront. Next, find and open the red gift box and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom right of the fireplace, in the forefront. Next, find and open the potpourri and reduce it by 90% and place on the top left of the fireplace; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the top right of the fireplace.

Next, open the present boxes and reduce by 80% and place in the right bottom corner, to the left of the champagne flute. Next, find and open the poinsettia 2 and reduce it by 90% and place it on the right side, and place it on the top left of the presents. Next, open the red bow and reduce it by 90% and place on the top left corner; duplicate it and flip it horizontally to make it fuller. Next, find and open the gold star and reduce it by 90% and center it on the red bow in the top left corner. Lastly, find and open the puppy and reduce it by 80% and place it at the bottom, between the tube's legs.

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.
