Mask 5 by Tonya at Creative Misfits, 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 5 by Tonya at the Creative Misfits blog. 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 4....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, reducing the size by 70% and placing it in the top left corner...duplicate it...duplicate again and flip it horizontally and place in the top right corner...duplicate...duplicate again and move to the center top...duplicate again.

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

Next, find and open the Mermaid Selina tube..make sure you use the teal layer...copy and paste her to the tag..reduce her by 65% and place her centered on the bottom of the tag. Now back to the original and copy and paste on the tag again...place it in the big center circle...flip it horizontally, reduce size til you are happy with what will show in the circle, and then invert. Add a screen blend mode.

Next, find and open the el 31, and leaving the size as is, place it on the bottom right, under the tube...duplicate it and flip it horizontally, and place on the bottom left, under the tube. Next, find and open the el 17, and leaving the size as is, place it on the right side. Next, find and open the el 43, and reduce the size by 65%, and place it on the left side. Next, find and open the el 42, and reduce the size by 70%, and place it on the left side, above the building.

Next, find and open the el 36, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom right, in front of the chest. Next, find and open the el 23, and reduce it by 85%...flip it horizontally, and place it in the bottom left corner. Next, find and open the el 24, and reduce it by 90%, and place on the bottom left, on the right side of the building.

Next, find and open the el 25, and reduce the size by 85%, and place on the bottom left, behind el 23. Next, find and open the el 21, and reduce it by 90%, and place on the bottom left, in front of el 23. Next, find and open the el 41, and reduce it by 95%, and place on the bottom left...duplicate it to make it darker. Next, find and open the el 20, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 3, and reduce ti by 95%, and place it top center on the left.

Next, find and open the el 10, and reduce it by 95%, flip it horizontally and place it top center right. Next, find and open the el 11, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom left. Next, find and open the el 9, and reduce it by 90%, and place it in the building door. Next, find and open the el 18, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom right, in front of the chest. Next, find and open the el 12, and reduce it by 90%, and place it top left. Next, find and open the el 19, and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the bottom left, to the right of the bottle.

Next, find and open the el 29, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the right side, behind the chest...duplicate it and move it down a bit. Next, find and open the el 46, and leaving the size as is, place it on the top left...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the top right...duplicate and turn it around and place it top center left...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place center top right.

Next, find and open the el 5, and reduce it by 98%, and place it in the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the el 16, and reduce it by 98%, and place it on the right side, in the red coral. Next, find and open the el 39, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom right, to the left of the chest. Next, find and open the paper 6, and place on the bottom word art.

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)!!
