Template - #166 by Elegant Inspirations, which can be downloaded on the blog HERE

Mask # 290 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 #290 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 6 on the dark pink circles and the dark pink rectangle, and paper 5 on the light pink strips, the light pink rectangle, and the light pink circle.

Next, find and open the Gothic Geisha poser tube. For the full-view, use the raster 4 layer of the tube...decrease it by 25% and center it on the center bottom of the tag. Next, use the raster 3 layer of the tube and decrease it by 75% and place it in the rectangle, to the right of the full-view...erase any extra. Lastly, use the raster 1 layer, and decrease it by 85% and place it in the bottom right circle. Use the effects and place a dither 75 pt texture on both 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 47, and leaving the size as is, place it angled on the top right above the mask layer...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the top left....duplicate ut again and plce on the bottom left...duplicate one last time and flip it horizontally and place it on the bottom right. Next, find and open the el 30, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the top left side, on top of the white circle. Next, find and open the el 11, and leaving the size as is, place it on the right side.

Next, find and open the el 39 and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom right, to the left of the candelabra. Next, find and open the el 29, and leaving the size as is, and place it on the left side. Next, find and open the el 37, and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 26, and leaving the size as is, place it angled on top of the right white circle. Next, find and open the el 22, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom right, to the left of the cat.

Next, find and open the el 32, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom left, on top of the fan. Next, find and open the el 33, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom left, on top of the red rose...duplicate and place to the right. Next, find and open the el 46 and leaving the size as is, place it on the right, to the left of the candelabra.

Next, find and open the el 35, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the el 43, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the left side, on the rose. Next, find and open the el 34, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the black leaf stem on the top right...duplicate it and move up a bit.

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.
