Template # 21 made by me, which you can download HERE

Mask - 81 by Wee Scotts Lass, which can be downloaded on her 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 #21 that was made by me. Then, let's create our mask. Open whatever mask you choose to use; I have chosen a mask by WSL. 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. I chose to use a paper for the mask, so 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, reduce the size by 50%, and place on the top left...duplicate and move down...keep duplicating and moving around until all areas you wish to have a mask in are covered.

***(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 to our template. The papers should be as follows: paper 8 on rasters 3 and 6, paper 7 on raster 7, paper 3 on rasters 2 and 5, paper 1 on raster 4, and paper 6 on raster 8.

Next, find and open the full-view of the Sexy Army tube. Copy and paste her to the tag; reduce her by 15% and place her at the bottom, slightly to the right. Now go back and open the close up view....copy and paste it to the left top stamp shape...reduce to fit and then invert and add a screen blend mode.

Next, find and open the el 28, and leaving the size as is, FV and FH and place in the left circle; erase all that is on the right side. Next, find and open the el 49, and leaving the size as is, place it on the bottom right. Next, find and open the el 46, and reduce it by 25%...FH, and place it on the bottom right, in front of the barrel. Next, find and open el 22, and reduce it by 35%, and place it in the top circle, behind the tube.

Next, find and open the el 4, and reduce it by 35%, and place it vertically on the right side rectangle. Next, find and open the el 5, and leaving the size as is, place it across the bottom rectangle. Next, find and open the el 58, and reduce it by 40%, and place it angled on the right, against the barrel. Next, find and open the el 60, and reduce it by 45%, and place it on the bottom left.

Next, find and open the el 17, and reduce to fit over the bottom right circle. Next, find and open the el 44, and reduce it by 65%, and place it on the bottom left, behind the boots. Next, find and open the el 19, and reduce it by 85%, and place on the top right rectangle. Next, find and open the el 18, and reduce it by 30%, and place it on the bottom left, behind the boots.

Next, find and open the el 55, and reduce it by 25%, and place it on the left, below the close up. Next, find and open the el 23, and reduce it by 60%, and place it angled on the right side. Next, find and open the el 59, and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the bottom, to the right of the boots. Next, find and open the el 41, and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the right side, above the barrel.

Next, find and open el 31, and reduce it by 35%, and place it on the top left, tot he left of the tube's head. Next, find and open el 45, and reduce it by 30%, and place it on the left bottom, to the right of the boots. Next, find and open el 13, and reduce it by 80%, and place it across the bottom rectangle. Next, find and open el 26, and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the left side, to the right of the drum.

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.
