Mask # 23 by Brutal Designs

Template #408 by Millie's PSP Madness

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you will need to do, is to open the Template #409 by Millie's Psp Madness. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask #23 from Brutal Designs. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the 1st mask you have chosen, then start a new image FILE>NEW>600x600 and transparent needs to be checked. Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I chose a black and white dual toned 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, and increase the size by 10%...move it around until you are happy with the amount that shows....I angled mine.

***(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.)***

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! The first thing we want to do, is place papers on parts of our template. The following is where your papers should be: paper 1 on raster 1, paper 8 on raster 2, paper 9 on raster 3, paper 3 on raster 4, paper 7 on raster 5, and paper 6 on raster 6.

The next thing we want to do is to start adding our elements to make this tag come to life!! The very first thing we will want to do is to add our Sweet Princess tube by Arthur Crowe. Okay, first find and open the full-view of the tube; reduce her size by 30% and place her on the left side of the tag. Now find and open the close up #2 of the tube; copy and paste it to the tag in the circle on the right and decrease it to size...use the effects menu and make it vignette...and flip it horizontally.

Next, find and open the el 18 and reduce it by 40% and place it on the right side in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 23 the polish and reduce it by 90% and place on the bottom right, in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 22 the lipstick and reduce it by 90% and place on the bottom right, to the right of the polish, in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 36 flower and reduce it by 80% and place it in the top right corner, in the forefront.

Next, find and open the el 25 the sparkles and leaving the size as is, place it on the left side of the tag; duplicate and place on the right side of the tag...make sure it is on the layer beneath the close up pic. Next, find and open the el 5 the stars and reduce by 90% and place on the left side of the tag, in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 38 word art and reduce it by 70% and place it angled above the close up pic (you should delete the word art that came with the temp)...now duplicate the word art 5 times to make it darker. Next, find and open the el 24 the bow and reduce it by 90% and place on the top left corner; duplicate it and flip it horizontally. Next, find and open the el 2 the cupcake and reduce it by 95% and center on the bows at top left. Lastly, find and open el #37 pink glitter trail and reduce it by 80% and place on the bottom right over the mask; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on top left above mask.

Lastly, add 3D drop shadows wherever you would like them to be. 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. If you did, please follow my blog and pass it along to others. If you make a tag using this tutorial, please send it to meat robynebutts@gmail.com, so I can place it on my blog.

Hugs and blessings,

Tutorial using the Rosez N Skullz scrap kit by Crystal's Creations

Supplies Needed

Paint Shop Pro - I am using X5, but any should do

The Rosez N Skullz scrap kit by Crystal's Creations, which can be purchased at Pics for Design HERE

Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Any mask of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you will need to do, is to start a new image in Paint Shop Pro (PSP for short). To do this, look at the top left corner, and click on FILE>NEW> a pop up will open...set width and height to 600, make background transparent, and make sure the transparent box is checked. Click okay, and you now have a blank size base for your tag, already sized and ready to go.

***(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.)***

I have chosen a mask from PSP-Pals. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the mask you have chosen, then start a new image FILE>NEW>600x600 and transparent needs to be checked. Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I chose a yellow 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! :) We will not be using a paper for this tag.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the El #16 the girl poser and open her. reduce her size by 45% and center her on the tag. Now find and open the El #25 metal fence. Place on top of the mask and decrease the sides to match the mask. Now use the side layers menu and slide the poser back to the forefront. Now find and open theEl #30 purple flames and decrease the size by 30% and place on the left side of the tube...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the right side of the tube. Again, use the side layers menu and slide the poser back to the forefront. Now find and open the El 27 black glitter splats and reduce the size by 75%, and place on the right side...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the left.

Next, find and open the El #14 sequins and reduce the size by 60% and place on the bottom right-hand side. Duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom left. Use the side layers men u and slide it to the forefront. Now find and open the El #11 bunny and reduce it by 70%, and place it on the bottom left, and slide it to the forefront. Next, find and open EL #12 skull with roses and decrease the size by 70% and place it on the bottom right; slide it to the forefront.Now find and open the El #38 beads on a string and reduce by 45%. Place on the right side and make sure it is behind the elements on the bottom of the tag. Duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side.

Next, find and open the El #33 bottlecap and reduce it by 25%, and place it to the right of the bunny. Use the side layers menu and slide it to the forefront. Next, find and open the El# 32 heart and reduce it by 65% and place it on the bottom, to the left of the skull. Now find and open the El# 31 heart and wings. leave the size as is and place it at the top, centered. Now find and open the El# 6 lips and reduce it by 90% and place them right below the yellow heart. Now find and open the El#36 the pink and purple rose and reduce it by 90% and place it on the left side between the bunny and the bottle cap.Lastly, find the El#9 and place on both sides, next to the beads..make sure the sticks are slid behind other elements.

You did it! You now have finished this tag. You will need to add copy wright info to your tag, as it is the law. Finally, add a name in any font and color of your choosing.
