Feel free to use my tutorial as a guide and
have fun giving it your own spin.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. 

Needed Supplies & Filters :

Tube of Choice .. I am using the work of Lacy Clagg which you must have a license to use. Please do not use her work without purchasing through My Tag Art here.

Scrap Kit of Choice .. I have used an amazing PTU kit from Soxsational Scraps called Zoe's Garden, which can be purchased here.

Mask of Choice .. I have used WSL_Mask76 from Weescotslass which can be downloaded here.

Template  of Choice .. I have used template 79 by Ali which can be downloaded from her blog here.

Font of Choice .. I am using Flowerpot.

Filters of choice .. Xenofex/Constellation & Noise (both optional)
  
Let's get started !

Open template in PSP. Image rotate clockwise 90. Resize canvas 650x650. New raster layer, move this layer as your bottom layer and floodfill white.

New raster layer, select all, copy and paste into selection Paper 1. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask76, invert mask data unchecked, and merge group. Layer duplicate and merge down both mask layers. Resize 115%.

Select Circle layer, select all float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 14, resize 75%, selections invert & hit delete. Select none & delete original Circle layer. I have added the following gradient glow and then drop shadow. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout.


Copy and paste Swirl 1 & drop shadow. Position top right hand corner. Layer duplicate mirror & flip.

Merge down Shape layers 2-3-4. Select all float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 1, resize 75%, selections invert & hit delete. Select none & delete original Shapes layer. Gradient glow & drop shadow.

Copy and paste Frame 3 & drop shadow.

Select shape 1, select all float/defloat, copy and paste your selected image, selections invert & hit delete. Select none & delete original Shapes layer.

Select Frame layer, select all float/defloat, new raster layer and floodfill with color #fc6ba4. Select none & delete original Frame layer. Add noise as before & drop shadow. Adjust/add remove noise/uniform 50 monochrome checked & drop shadow.

Copy and paste Vine 3, mirro & drop shadow. Position on the right hand side of your frame.

Copy and paste Magical bling. Position towards the bottom centre of your frame. See my image for placement.

Select all, float, defloat and duplicate layer twice. Rename Bling 1, 2 & 3. On your first dust layer apply the following Constellation.


Apply the same Constellation to your next Dust layer and hit random once. Apply again to your last Dust layer hitting random twice. Select none. If you decide not to animate your tag, then just skip the duplicate twice.

Lower the opacity of all 3 bling layers to 70.

Copy and paste Vine 2 & drop shadow. Position on the left hand side of your frame.

Copy and paste Flower 5, resize 65% & drop shadow. Position left hand bottom corner of your frame. Copy and paste Flower 2, resize 50% & drop shadow. Position next to your other flower.

Copy and paste Bow 5, resize 65%, rotate right 15 & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner of your frame. Copy and paste Butterfly, resize 50% & drop shadow. Position on your bow.

Copy and paste Bug 5, resize 50%, mirror & drop shadow. Position right hand bottom corner.

At this point if you need to, resize your tag. I have used 500x500. Add your copyright and name. I have used Flowerpot size 72 color #ea608e. I then added the same gradient glow and drop shadow as before.

If you are choosing not to animate, then you can save your tag.

To animate, close off Bling layer 2 & 3 (the lil eye icon in your layer palette), Edit/Copy Merged and paste as new animation in Animation Shop. Close off Bling layer 1 and open Bling layer 2, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS. Close off Bling layer 2 and open Bling layer 3, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS.
