I do these tutorials for fun and not

for any profit. I use them also as a learning tool to

help others learn the fun and art of paint shop pro.

All things I use are collected, the only thing I claim

Is the tag I make with these as my work.

This tutorial is written with the idea you

have some knowledge of PSP.

This was done in PSP 9 but should work with any.

Supplies

before you open your psp.

Open all your supplies in psp and

minimize them.

Place your mask if your psp mask folder.

Open the template in PSP make a copy

and close the original.

Delete the copyright layer you won't need it.

Image canvas size

You want room to work>we will resize later.

Activate the circle layer>magic wand>feather

set to 5, that way it gives you a cleaner look.

New layer>flood fill with color of your choice.

I'm using #98533e for the background.

Deselect

Filters unlimited and give this layer

a paper texture of choice......I used

Rag paper with default settings.

All shadows will remain the same unless

otherwise stated.

Large Rectangle>activate and do the same as in

last step,but use a different color.

Flood fill with color of choice.

#d6cabc is what I used.

Add new raster layer and flood fill with another color.

Deselect

This is what I have so far.

On layer pallet activate layer 3>give it a texture effect.

I gave mine>filters unlimited background pattern

Hemp paper 1 nature.

Deselect

Large heart>activate>and flood fill with color of choice,

then do it again with another color. It will look like this.

Filters unlimited and give it an effect>I used special effects 1>aged film.

Eye candy 3 glass  with these settings.

Deselect

Eye candy 5 impact>same drop shadow as on the other layers.

Small heart and do the same as above but use different
colors and effects.

I changed the eye candy 3  glass with these settings.

Drop shadow

Now we are ready to add some tubes to the template.

If your using the bear from the supplies>resize

by 60 percent>copy and paste as new layer

Move over to the top of the small rectangle.

Add same drop shadow or one you like.

Add some flowers to the left side, and any

other accents you would like for your tag. I

use the deform tool a lot to move and turn things

like I want them.

Here is what I have so far.

I also took my mover tool and moved

some of the template down and placed

it how I wanted it.

If your happy with every thing and the way it looks.

Merge all layers.

Add a new raster layer and flood fill with a color you

want your background.

Add another new raster layer and flood fill it with the

color you want the mask to be.

Go to layers>load saved mask from disc>

                                                                        Open

Layers merge group.

Resize the mask by 80 percent.

Crop off some of the extra you don't want in your tag.

Effects>AAA foto frame

Add any wording or anything else at this time.

Merge all layers

Add a new raster layer and add your water mark.

Your now ready to save and share your work of art.

Yippee your all done.

Would love to see what you do with this.

Thank you for giving my tutorial a try.

as I did writing it,

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

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.
