The Isabel tube by Very Many, which can be purchased at PFD HERE

Template - #132 by Elegant Inspirations, which can be downloaded on the blog HERE

Mask by the Creative Chicks, which can be downloaded from their blog 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 a mask by The Creative Chicks. 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...duplicate it and flip it horizontally. Then open el 23, and reduce it by 60%, and place it in the top left corner on top of the mask...turn it to hide the blue part...duplicate it...duplicate it again and flip it horizontally and place on the top right...duplicate it...duplicate it again and flip it vertically and place on the bottom right...duplicate it...duplicate it again and flip it horizontally and place it on the bottom left...duplicate one last time.

***(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 4 on all the black shapes, paper 7 on all white shapes and white dotted lines, paper 1 on all dark teal shapes, paper 3 on all light teal shapes, and paper 2 on all yellow shapes.

Next, find and open the Isabel tube, and copy and paste her to the bottom of the tag, in the forefront...reduce her size by 15%, and center her on the bottom. Now back to the original and copy and paste on the tag again...place it in the center little square and decrease size to fit the way you want it..then invert it and make it black and white. Go back and copy and paste again and place it on the left square this time...flip it horizontally and fit to taste and invert and use a purple filter. Copy and paste again, this time to the right square...flip it horizontally...invert it and use a pink filter.

Next, find and open the el 7, and reduce it by 85%, and place it in the center top pink circle. Next, find and open the el 38 and reduce it by 85%, and place it in the center bottom, behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 30 and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the el 26 and reduce it by 85%, and place it angled on the top right side.

Next, find and open the el 52 and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the left side of the pink bar...duplicate it, flip it horizontally, and place it on the right side. Next, find and open the el 29 and reduce it by 75%, and place it on the bottom right behind the tube's legs. Next, find and open the el 31 and reduce it by 90%, and place it angled on top of the radio. Next, find and open the el 44 and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom left behind the tube's arms. Next, find and open the el 35, and leaving the size as is, place it on the top left.

Next, find and open the el 34 and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom left of the jukebox, behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 45 and reduce it by 85%, and place it angled on the top left. Next, find and open the el 47 and reduce it by 90%, and place it angled on the top right. Next, find and open the el 25 and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the top left. Next, find and open the el 33 and reduce it by 90%, and place it centered at the top. Next, find and open the el 27 and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the top left above the close up.

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.
