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 Renee Lavoie 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 a gorgeous FTU kit from Scrap Dimensions called Sensitive Woman, which can be downloaded here.

Mask of Choice .. I have used WSL_Mask84 from Weescotslass which can be downloaded here.

Template  of Choice .. I have used template 196 by Missy which can be downloaded from her blog here.

Font of Choice .. I am using Gwendolyn Bold.

Filters of Choice .. Xenofex/Constellation & Eye Candy/Gradient Glow

Let's get started !

Open your template in PSP. Adjust canvas size to 600x600 and floodfill background layer white. You can resize later. Delete Credits layers.

New raster layer, select all, paste into selection Paper 2. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask84, invert mask data unchecked, and merge group. Layer duplicate and merge down both mask layers. Resize 110%.

I added the following Constellation just to add a bit of sparkle.



Merge down Rectangle layers 1-2. Select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 5, selections invert, hit delete. Select none and delete original merged Rectangles layer.

I then added the following gradient glow and drop shadow. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout.



Select Rectangle layer 3. Select all/float/defloat, copy and paste your image, selections invert, hit delete. Select none and delete original merged Rectangle layer. Add same gradient glow and drop shadow as before.

Merge down both Thin rectangle layers. Select all/float/defloat, new raster layer and floodfill with color #b371b3. Select none. I then added the following effects/texture and then drop shadow.



Copy and paste Bow 1, resize 50%, mirror & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner.

Copy and paste Ribbon 1, resize 60%, mirror/flip & drop shadow. Position bottom of your frame. Layer duplicate and rotate right 90. Position right hand side of your frame.

Copy and paste Stone necklace, resize 35%, mirror & drop shadow. Rotate right 45 & position bottom right hand corner.

Copy Rose 3, resize 35%, rotate right 45 & drop shadow. Position along the bottom. See my tag for placement. Layer duplicate, rotate right 15 & position next to your other rose.

Copy and paste Daisies 2, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner. Repeat with Daisies 3 and position next to the first set.

Copy and paste Flower, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position next to your daisies. Layer duplicate and position at other corner of your daisies.

Copy and paste Fleur 14, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position top right hand corner on your ribbon.

X out white background, merge visible. Open white background, resize to your liking (I used a 500x500).

Add copyright & add your name. I used Gwendolyn Bold size 72 color #b371b3 and then added the same gradient glow and drop shadow as before.

Save and you are done.

For a lil extra twist, I added a bling to my finished tag. 
The bling I have used is from KatNKDA's Member's group. Any bling will work, the only difference will the amount of layers.

Open your bling & finished tag (.jpg with white background) in Animation shop. Check how many layers your bling has .. mine had 4 .. so you need to duplicate your tag until you have 4 layers also (edit/duplicate selected). Select your bling, select all & copy. Edit/propagate paste. Select your tag, select all, edit/paste into selection and position your bling on your tag where you would like it to be.

View animation to see if positioning is to your liking. If your bling has movement, you may have to undo and redo to position to where it flows well, or even resize your bling before starting. Save as gif.



I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial.
