Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template 3 by Tamie at The Creative Chicks

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 3 by tamie. Next, let's create our mask. I have chosen a mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass. 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 dual toned brown 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, increasing the size by 30% and place it centered on the tag...make sure the mask is on the very back layer.

***(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 # 9 on rasters 2, 3, 8, and copy 8, paper # 4 on raster 4, paper # 6 on raster 5, paper # 10 on raster 7 1, paper # 5 on raster 3, and paper 2 on raster 2.

The next thing we want to do is to add your tube. Find and open the full view of the Prowler tube; leave her size as is and center her at the bottom of the tag. Next, find and open the close up view of the tube and reduce it by 30% and place it in the center square and flip it horizontally...use the effects menu and add the brick texture to the entire square and the tube. Next, find and open the el #75 the trash cans and reduce it by 70% and place it at the bottom left corner, behind the tube. Next, find and open the el #16 blue splatter and leaving the size as is, place it at the top of the tag, over the mask layer. Next, find and open the El #15 the red dot splotches and place on the left side in front of raster 16; duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the right.

Next, find and open the El# 56 wood planks and leaving the size as is, place it at the bottom of the tag, beneath the tube. Next, find and open the El #23 screen and place it on top of raster 20 and center it...then move it down below the word art. Next, find and open the El # 73 the boombox and leaving the size as is, place it on the bottom right, behind the tube. Next, find and open the El # 55 the light pole and leaving the size as is, place it on the left behind only the trash; duplicate it and place it on the right side.

Next, find and open the El #17 the rat and reduce it by 95% and place in the bottom right corner in the forefront. Next, find and open the El # 5 photos and reduce it by 90% and place it on the left side of the square. Next, find and open the El # 37 the phone and reduce it by 80% and place it on the right side above the tube and to the left of the light. Next, find and open the El # 82 the spray paint can and reduce it by 95% and place it on the bottom right, in front of the boombox.

Next, find and open the El # 81 the video surveillance sign and reduce it by 85% and place it angled on the left, above the pics. Next, find and open the El # 58 the keys and reduce them by 90% and place on the tube's hip, like they are hanging. Next, find and open the El # 63 stack of bills and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom right in front and to the left of the spray can. Next, find and open the El # 50 the painted hoodie and reduce it by 75% and place it on the top left, angled behind the word art. Next, find and open the El # 49 the painted jeans and place it at the top right angled, behind the word art.

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.
