The Corset 2 tube by Nocturne, which can be purchased at PFD HERE

Template - by Creative Misfits, which can be downloaded on the blog HERE

Masks by the 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 Creative Misfits templates. Then, let's create our mask layers. Open whatever mask you choose to use; I have chosen 2 different masks by The Creative Misfits. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the 1st lines 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 3....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 it on the top right...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the top left. Repeat this process for the second mask (the star one), except this time use paper 19...copy and paste it to the tag and reduce the size by 75%...place it in the top left corner...duplicate it...duplicate it again and flip it horizontally and place on the top right...duplicate again...duplicate another time and flip it vertically and place on the bottom right...duplicate...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the bottom right...duplicate.

***(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 14 on all black shapes and dotted lines, paper 28 on all light grey shapes, paper 8 on all dark grey shapes, and paper 23 on pink bars, and short dark grey bars.

Next, find and open the Corset 2 tube...copy and paste her to the tag..reduce her by 65% and place her on the right side of the tag. Now back to the original and copy and paste on the tag again...place it in the left side rectangle, reduce to fit the way you like it and invert it...use screen effect. Go back and copy and paste again and place it on the bottom right rectangle...reduce to fit the way you like it...flip it horizontally...and invert it...add a luminance effect and a hatch fine texture.

Next, find and open the el 139, and reduce it by 70%, and place it angled on the right brown square by the tube...duplicate it 2 times. Next, find and open the el 148, and reduce it by 85%, and place it in the bottom left corner. Next, find and open the el 183, and reduce it by 90%, and place in the top left corner. Next, find and open the el 18, and reduce it by 90%, and place it in the center of the 2 brown rectangles, on the right side.

Next, find and open the el 121, and reduce it by 25%, and place it on the bottom right. Next, find and open the el 132, and reduce it by 88%, and place on the bottom left, to the right of the gift. Next, find and open the el 61, and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the bottom left, angled behind the pillows. Next, find and open the el 130, and reduce it by 90%, and place on the left side, down the yellow bar.

Next, find and open the el 167, and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom left, angled behind the gift and pillows. Next, find and open the el 99, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom right corner. Next, find and open the el 162, and reduce it by 90%, and place in the bottom right corner, on top of the paper...duplicate it and move this one up a bit. Next, find and open the el 39, and reduce it by 80%, and angle it top center. Next, find and open the el 44, and reduce it by 90%, and place on the bottom left, to the right of the pillows.

Next, find and open the el 25, and reduce it by 90%, and place it angled bottom left, in front of the gift. Next, find and open the el 58, and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the bottom left, to the right of the gold heart. Next, find and open the el 131, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom left, above and behind the gift...duplicate 2 times. Next, find and open the el 161, and reduce it by 85%, and place it angled in the top right corner.

Next, find and open the el 190, and reduce it by 95%, and place 2 on the top right side yellow bar. Next, find and open the el 49, and reduce it by 88%, and place it on the bottom left, to the left of LOVE word art. Next, find and open the el 15, and reduce it by 95% and place it on the bottom of the card. next, find and open the el 152, and reduce it by 85%, and place it on the bottom of the card, behind the pearl button.

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)!!
