Mask 250 by Weescotslass, 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 Millie's PSP Madness templates. Then, let's create our mask layer. Open whatever mask you choose to use; I have chosen mask 250 by Weescotslass. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the mask, or 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 to use a kit paper instead...I used paper 8....copy and paste the paper 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, leaving the size as is..place on the top right...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the top left...duplicate and place in the top center.

***(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 7 on rasters 7 and 8, paper 5 on raster 1 and 6, paper 6 on rasters 2 and 3, paper 3 on raster 9, and paper 8 on rasters 4 and 5.

Next, find and open the Amazonas poser tube...copy and paste her to the tag..reduce her by 45% and place her centered on the bottom of the tag. Now, go back to the original and copy and paste on the tag again...place it in the big left side circle...flip it horizontally, and invert the face to the shape...repeat on right side...use a screen blend mode on both.

Next, find and open the el 29, and leaving the size as is, place it on the bottom left...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on bottom right...keep duplicating and flipping til the ground goes up over the bottom of the template. Next, find and open the el 43, and reduce it by 40%, and place it on the top left...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place top right. Next, find and open the el 33, and reduce it by 25%, and place it in the center square, behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 5, and reduce it by 65%, and place it on the right side...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and place it on the left side.

Next, find and open the el 27, and reduce it by 60%, and place it on the bottom right. Next, find and open the el 28, and reduce it by 60%, and place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 32, and leaving the size as is, place on the left side, behind the column...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and place on the right side. Next, find and open the el 42, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom left, behind the tube.

Next, find and open the el 14, and reduce it by 90%..flip it horizontally, and place it behind the cat on the right side...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and place it on the left side. Next, find and open the el 16, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the left side...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right side. Next, find and open the el 9, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the right side behind el 16...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and place it on the left side. Next, find and open the el 17, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the right side to the right of el 14...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side...duplicate and reduce the size by 10% more and place on the bottom left in front of the flower...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the right side.

Next, find and open the el 48, and reduce it by 98%, and place it on the bottom right...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 49, and reduce it by 90%, and place on the bottom right in front of el 48...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right. Next, find and open the el 8, and reduce by 85%, and place it bottom center, behind the rocks. Next, find and open the el 37, and leaving the size as is, place it on the left side...duplicate and flip it horizontally, and place on the right side. Next, find and open the el 2, and reduce it by 40%, and place it in the center, behind the tube. Next, find and open the el 24, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the left side...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the right side.

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)!!
