Template - #191 by Elegant Inspirations, which can be downloaded on the blog HERE

Mask #24 by Rissa, 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 #24 by Rissa. 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. Copy and paste paper 8 to the new image. 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 5 on all black shapes and black dotted lines, paper 8 on all grey shapes, and leave all white shapes and white dotted lines as they are.

Next, find and open the Kitty Angel tube...you will want none of the accessories, and make sure is in the purple layer...merge visible. Copy and paste her to the tag...reduce her size by 30% and center her at the bottom of the tag. Now go back to the tube and erase all from the neck down...copy and paste her to the top right center circle, and invert her. Add a purple filter and a canvas fine texture.

Next, find and open the el 25, and leaving the size as is, place it on the top left...duplicate it...duplicate again and flip it horizontally...duplicate and place it on the top right...duplicate...duplicate again and flip it horizontally. Next, find and open the el 18, and leaving the size as is, place top center on the right side...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and place top center on the left. Next, find and open the el 79, and reduce the size by 65%, and then place it on the top right, angled under the green dots. Next, find and open the el 21, and reduce it by 75%, and then place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 64, and reduce it by 90%, and place it top left, in the purple square.

Next, find and open the el 1, and reduce it by 75%, and place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 71, and reduce it by 60%, and place it on the right side at the bottom. Next, find and open the el 48, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the right, on top of the ladder. Next, find and open the el 62, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the right side of the ladder.

Next, find and open the el 43, and reduce it by 85%, and place it angled in the center of the top circle. Next, find and open the el 32, and reduce it by 90%, and place on the bottom right of the ladder...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and move to the left a bit...make sure they are a little higher than the bottom of the tag, as you will put stuff beneath them. Next, find and open the el 13, and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the bottom right...duplicate it and place it side by side with the previous one. Next, find and open the el 61, and reduce it by 95% and place it in the center top of the 2 balls. Next, find and open the el 17, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the right side, above the bird.

Next, find and open the el 63, and reduce it by 30%, and place it across the top of the center green rectangle...duplicate it and flip it vertically, and place it across the bottom. Next, find and open the el 5, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom left, in front of and to the right, of the mailbox. Next, find and open the el 73, and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the bottom left, angled behind the cupcake. Next, find and open the el 12, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom right, on the left side of the ladder. Next, find and open el 09, reduce it by 80%, and then flip it horizontally and place it on the ladder...duplicate it 4 times to make it darker.

Next, find and open the el 28, and reduce it by 90%, and place it angled on the top left. Next, find and open the el 50, and reduce it by 80% and then flip it horizontally, and place it on the bottom left behind the mailbox. Next, find and open the el 53, and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the bottom left, to the right of the cupcake.

Next find and open the el 35, and reduce it by 65%, and then place it on the bottom right.

Next find and open the el 76, and reduce it by 60%, and place it angled top left. Next, find and open the el 44, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the top right corner.

Next find and open the el 15 and reduce it by 90%, and place it top right...duplicate it 3 times. Next find and open the el 60, and reduce it by 90%, and place it top left. Next, find and open the el 55, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the left side, behind the mailbox...open el 37 again and reduce it by 80% and place it angled on the balloon.

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)!!
