Template - #149 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 lavender and mint 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 17 on: sideways hearts, black dotted circles, black strips, black squares, grey squares, and black scalloped frames, paper 6 on: white circles, white circle 1, white squares, white heart lines, white strips, all white dotted lines, paper 9 on pink squares (dark), dk pink circles, pink dotted circle, and pink backgrounds, and paper 8 on all light pink circles.

Next, find and open the Amanda tube (you will want the purple shirt and dark skirt). Copy and paste it to the top layer of the tag; reduce her size by 40% and center her on the tag. Now go back and copy and paste the close up to the the right side square...reduce it by 60% and then duplicate it and flip it horizontally on the left..make sure they are on the layer behind the full-view tube. Now add a canvas simple texture to the close-ups with the following settings: smoothness 0, depth 0, ambiance 20, shininess 20, angle 315, intensity 50, and elevation 30.

Next, find and open the el 18 and reduce it by 75%, and place it angled on the top right (under the dark purple layer)...duplicate it and place this one to the left of the first one, and down a bit. Next, find and open the el 4 and reduce it by 95% and place it angled on the right dark purple bar. Next, find and open the el 19 and reduce it by 60%, and place it on the top left.

Next, find and open the el 67 and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the el 64 and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom right, to the left of the glass. Next, find and open the el 84 and reduce it by 98%, and place it centered on the candle. Next, find and open the el 72, and leaving the size as is, place it on the top right on top of the mask layer...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the top left.

Next, find and open the el 48 and reduce it by 60%, and then place it on the bottom left of the close-up...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom of the right close-up. Next, find and open the el 26 and reduce it by 95% and place one on each of the outside bottom corners of the close-ups, going in opposite directions. Next, find and open the el 13 and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the top right, on the bottom of the leaf stems.

Next, find and open the el 25, and leaving the size as is, and place it on the top left. Next, find and open the el 29 and reduce it by 95% and place it on the bottom right, on the bottom of the glass. Next, find and open the el 28 and reduce it by 70% and place it on the right purple box...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the left side.

Next, find and open the el 63 and reduce it by 20% and place it across the bottom half of the tube. Next, find and open the el 51 and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom left behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 47, reducing it by 85%, and place it to the right of the gift. Next, find and open the el 7 and reduce it by 80% and place across the top of the left closeup..duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place across the right one...make sure they are behind the tube layers.

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.
