I do these for fun and as a learning tool.
I don't sell or make a profit from any of the
supplies I have collected. Or from writhing these tutorials.
I don't claim to have done any of the graphics
and that, just the tags I make and share.


Some knowledge of psp is most helpful.
I used psp 9 any will work.


Scrap kit I used is the wonderful work
of Wicked Princess and Its called


Yee Haw Baby! Tagger *EXCLUSIVE* and its on sale right now.


Supplies
Tube of choice
Font of choice
Graphic of choice


Remember to save often in case
your psp freezes up, so you don't have
to start all over.


Open template and duplicate>close original.
Delete Raster 1>also Frame 1 and 2,
And Frame background for 1 and 2.
I'm not using them in this tutorial.




Once you have done that, this is what
you should have in your layer pallet.




Image canvas size, we will resize when done.
But this will give you lots of room to add things.



Select bottom layer in your layer pallet>Magic wand
Settings>
The reason for giving it a feather, is it gives you smooth edges.




Pick a paper from the kit>I used>WP_RAC_PP10
Copy and paste as a new layer>resize


NOTE


The next few steps will be the same with all the template layers
unless I state other wise.



With mover tool move it over until it's like you want it.
It will not fill the whole space don't worry about that,
you will not see it. Selection>invert and delete.
Deselect.
Add drop shadow>to each of the paper layers.




Delete rectangle 1
Select Rectangle 2 and repeat above steps
but use a different paper
WP_RAC_PP1
Deselect


Select Rectangle 3 and repeat above steps

Select Rectangle 4 and repeat above steps.
use a different paper>WP_RAC_PP2

This is where I'm at so far.

Change settings for magic wand to 0 feather and 0 tolerance.

if you wish. I did>add a new raster layer>selection>modify>expand>

tag you just made.
Leave enough room for the mask.
