The Gone Wild scrap kit by Nina's Graphix, which is available for purchase at The Enchanted Dreams Boutique HERE
Any mask of your choosing, I chose a mask from VixMasks
Any color or gradient and font 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 white, and make sure the transparent box is not 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 golden 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! :) Now, let's add a nice paper to add some color to your tag. To do this, click on FILE>OPEN> find paper #11 and open it, then click on the pick tool on the tool menu on the left (it looks like an arrow)..a white dotted line will surround the paper, now click EDIT>COPY> find the image 1 tab at the top and click on it...you will do this every time to paste new items as you want to keep building on Image 1 (this is your tag), now click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Decrease the size to fit. Slide the mask to the layer the paper is on in your side layers menu, so your mask is on top.
Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Now find the EL #30 and open it. Reduce the size by about 85% and place one in the top left corner....duplicate it and flip it horizontally...this makes a double layered thick flower....repeat in the other 3 corners. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #16 grass and open it, and then click EDIT>COPY> click on the Image 1 tab, then click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER.

Reduce the size by about 40% and place in top left area... duplicate and leave it...now duplicate again and move this one to the right top side...flip it horizontally...duplicate again and leave it...it is just to make the trees fuller. Use the side layers menu to slide the grass back to the forefront, so the tree stumps do not show.
Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #15 the wild cat on the tree limb and open it, then and reduce the size by 60%. Place it on the bottom left side and use the side layers menu to slide the grass back to the forefront.
