Template - #200 by Elegant Inspirations, which can be downloaded on the blog HERE

Mask # 221 by Wee Scot Lass Creations, which can be downloaded HERE

PSP - I am using X5, but any should do

***This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP***

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you want to do is open the template from Elegant Inspirations. Then, let's create our mask. Open whatever mask you choose to use; I have chosen mask #221 by Wee Scot Lass Creations. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the mask you have chosen, then start a new image FILE>NEW>700x700 and transparent needs to be checked. Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I chose a black and white 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 3 on the green circles 1, 2, and 3 and on the 3 green diamonds, paper 5 on the blue circles 1, 2, and 3, and the 3 blue diamonds, paper 10 on the brown circles 1, 2, and, 3, the 3 brown diamonds, the 3 brown outlines, brown outline 1, 2, and 3, and 4, paper 2 on the cream circles 1, 2, and 3, the 3 cream diamonds, and the small brown circles.

Next, find and open the Harmony poser tube full view #2. Copy and paste her to the top layer of the tag; reduce her size by 40% and center her on the tag. Next, go back and copy and paste the portrait version of the poser tube...reduce her size by 70% and place her in the left diamond...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place her in the right diamond. Erase any extra.

Next, find and open the el 78 and reduce it by 70% and place one on the sides of the close ups. Next, find and open the el 40 and reduce it by 60%...copy and paste to the center of the buttons. next, find and open the el 6 and increase by 15% and place on top of the mask layer...arrange and re-size to your liking. Next, find and open the el 21 and reduce it by 85%..place angled at the bottom of the left side button...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place at the bottom of the right button.

Next, find and open the el 43 and leaving the size as is, place it on the left behind the circle..duplicate and flip horizontally and place on the other side. Next, find and open the el 85 and reduce it by 90%; place it angled in the center of the bow on the top left...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and center on the top right bow. Next, find and open the el 16 and leaving the size as is, place it on the bottom left. next, find and open el 77 and reduce it by 85% and place it on the bottom right.

Next, find and open the el 70 and reduce it by 85% and place to the left of the clock, making sure it is behind the clock. Next, find and open the el 64 and reduce it by 95% and place to the right of the clock, making sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 66 and reduce it by 95% and place it angle at the top of the pillow...duplicate it 4 times to make it darker. Next, find and open the el 12 and reduce it by 90% and place it angled in the top left corner.

Next, find and open the el 11 and reduce it by 90%...place it behind the smaller circle layers...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right side. Next, find and open the el 27 and reduce it by 85% and place it angled top right. Next, find and open the el 26 and reduce it by 90% and place it to the left of the pillow.

Next, find and open the el 8 and leaving the size as is, place it on the top right, behind the tube layers...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the left. Next, find and open the el 83 and leaving the size as is, place it on the top right, on top of the glitter layer and mask. Duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it in the top left. Duplicate it again and place on the bottom left...duplicate again and place center bottom. Duplicate one more time and place bottom right. Add beautiful Harmony word art in any font and color(s) you like.

Lastly, add 3D drop shadows wherever you would like them to be....I like these settings: 2V 1H 70 op, 4B. 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.
