Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #434 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 #434 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 brown 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 m6 on raster 1, paper m3 on rasters 2 and 3, paper m1 on raster 6, and paper m2 on raster 7.

Next, find and open the Dark dance tube by Wendy G...using the side layers menu, choose the full view of the latex and lace layer...copy and paste it to the tag; reduce it by 25% and center it on the tag. Now go back to the tube menu again, and close the full view and open the latex and lace close up..copy and paste it to the tag and invert it onto raster 3; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and invert on raster 4....make both sepia at a 90.

Next, find and open the el m36 the sheer ragged curtain, and leaving the size as is, place it on top of raster 2. Next, find and open the el m40 the bead and lace swag, and leaving the size as is, place it across the top, behind the tube's head. Next, find and open the el m17 the metal swirly with the stones and pearls, and leaving it the size it is, place it at the bottom on top of raster 6. Next, find and open the el m343 the violin and reduce it by 80% and place it at an angle on the left of the full view tube. Next, find and open el m30 the bow and reduce it by 90% and place at the top left under the swag, at an angle; duplicate it...duplicate again and place on the top right...duplicate. Next, find and open the el m10 the metal flower and reduce it by 90% and place in the center of the bows.

Next, find and open the el m15 the brown leaves and reduce it by 70% and place it on the right side, with 1/2 behind the closeup layer; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left side in the same way. Next, find and open the el m29 the rose and reduce it by 85% and place on the bottom left corner of the left closeup; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom right corner of the right close up. Next find and open the el m13 the candle and reduce it by 90% and place one in each bottom corner. Next, find and open the el m19 the grapes and reduce it by 90% and place at the bottom left angled behind the candle layer; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom right. Next, find and open el m 18 the brown flower and reduce it by 97% and place in the center of the grapes on the left; duplicate and flip horizontally and place on the right.

Next, find and open the word art and place it across the bottom above the swirl, and duplicate it 3 times to make it show up better. Next, find and open el m35 the button in a ripped material and reduce it by 95% and place it above the violin; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place under her other arm. Next, find and open el m4 the bird and reduce it by 90% and place it atop the word art on the bottom right.

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)!!
