This tutorial was written for those
that have a working knowledge of PSP.
This tutorial was made in Paint Shop Pro 12. But any should work.

Supplies Needed

Scrap Kit is by: Patricia Dole ~ The scrap kit is called Polka Stripe Teal.

Please Note:

This scrapkit is in layers in one image. The best way to work with it is to highlight the layer you want copy and paste as new image. Some of the things you will need to resize to fit or to make a bigger.

This kit is longer available. You can use a different one if you like.

The tube I used is art from: Patricia Dole ~ You can get the artwork.

Please refer to my tag at any time.

Open new image 800 x 800
Choose a paper from the scrap Kit. Apply mask 116LT, Layers>Load/Save Mask>Load mask from disk, delete mask layer, then right click and merge group. Drop shadow.

Open ricrack and copy & paste as new layer and place in the upper left corner. Drop shadow.

Open flower dot frame and copy and paste as a new layer. Drop shadow. 

Now select your magic wand and click inside of the frame. You should see dancing ants. Now copy and paste paper of choice (I used paper 6) as a new layer. It should be over top of frame and you should see the dancing ants. Now go to selections and click on invert then hit your delete key. Select None and bring layer down below frame.

Open stitched bar and copy and paste as new layer. Place in the lower right corner Drop shadow.

Open flower 3 and copy and paste 3 times. Place them below the stitched bar in the bottom right corner.  Drop shadow all 3.

Open flower 1 and copy and paste as new layer 3 times. Place all 3 above the ricrack in the upper left corner.  Drop shadow all 3.

Now add your tube as a new layer. Drop Shadow.

Add proper © copyrights, watermarks, URL.

Now add your name/text. To bevel go to Effects> 3-D> inner bevel and just choose one that you like and click ok. I used a plugin (eyecandy 5 glass effect) to get the effect for my text. Any eyecandy will work. Be sure you have the dancing ants around the name/text.

Merge,> layer,> merge visible.
Crop and resize.



Save as a PNG and your done. If you plan to offer the tag you may want to save a templet before you add text and merge layers. In either PSP or PNG format .

Have any questions please feel free to ask.
