Tutorial using the Cute Gothic scrap kit by Claudia's Creationz!

Supplies Needed

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

The Cute Gothic scrap kit, which can be purchased at Low Budget Scrapping HERE

Mask #84 from Wee Scott Lass

Template #100 by Addictive Templates

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 # 100 by Addictive Templates. 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 made a 2 layer mask..for the first layer I did a black and white dual toned gradient and a purple gradient for the second and top layer....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. Repeat the process with the purple mask.

***(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 8 on raster 4, paper 10 on raster 3, paper 2 on raster 5 and 17, paper 9 on rasters 2 and copy 2, and paper 1 on rasters 6 and copy 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 little goth girl. Open her and reduce her by 30 % and center her on the tag towards the bottom, in the forefront.

Next, find and open the el 30 the clouds and reduce it by 50; place it at the top right, then duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right side, on the top corner part of the square. Next, find and open the el 19 the mountain and reduce it by 30% and place at the bottom right; flip it horizontally and place it behind the word art layer. Next, find and open the el 9 the flower and reduce it by 80% and place it on the top left area. Next, find and open the el 14 the side sparkles and place on the right side...duplicate...duplicate again and flip it horizontally...duplicate it again; repeat on the other side of the tag.

Next, find and open the el 16 the lace strip and place it at the bottom of the tag; stretch the sides out to fit. Next, find and open the el 13 the spider and reduce it by 85% and place in the top left corner, in the forefront. Next, find and open the el 37 the heart with bones and key and reduce it by 90%; place in the bottom right hand corner; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place in the bottom left corner. Next, find and open the el 34 the needle and leaving the size as is, place it angled on the right side above the mountain. Next, find and open the el 27 and reduce it by 90% and place this button on the top right area.

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.
