Open a new 600 x 600 image in your psp.

From the kit, open the lace frame - Resize by 65%

Copy and paste as new layer. Using your magic wand,

click inside the frame - Selections - Modify - Expand

by 4. Choose a paper from the kit, Resize 65% - Copy

and paste as new layer. Selections - Invert - Delete.

KEEP SELECTED!! Move the paper layer below the frame layer.

Now we're going to add our tube. If using the tube that I've

used, resize her by 85%. Copy and paste as new layer.

Arrange to your liking - Delete. Select none. Now make the lace

frame active and RE-Paste your tube. Line the two tube layers

up together, and using your eraser.... erase her shoulders, some

of her braids, a little of her neck. This gives the effect that

she's coming out of the frame. When you're satisfied, add a

drop shadow of 2, -2, 60, 8 - Black to the bottom tube layer.

Also to the frame layer. X out the bottom and merge the paper,

frame, and tube layers, visible.

Now for the fun part of adding all the elements!!

I'm going to list the elements I used, and how I resized them.
You can choose to make your tag the same way, or different...

either way...it's entirely up to you!!

leaves2 - Resized 50% -- Duplicate - Mirror

flower - Resized 25%

daisy - Resized 25%

grass - Resized 30% - Duplicate and Rotate (copy) left 90 degrees.

bow- Resized 50%

I added the same drop shadow used before to each of the element layers.

Once satisfied with all your elements and their placement.... X

out your bottom layer (Unless you still have it X'd out)

Merge visible. Resize just the image layer to 500 x 500 pixels.

Now let's make that bottom layer active (un X it)

Select all - Choose a paper from the kit - Copy and Past INTO selection.

Select none.

Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image.

Scroll until you see WSL_Mask328. Apply and merge group.

Duplicate the mask layer - Merge down and resize 105%

Effects - Plugins - DSB Flux - Bright Noise.

With the settings below:

Now you can choose my wordart or your own.... If using mine,

resize the wordart by 60% - Copy and paste as new layer.

Apply a drop shadow of 2, -2, 50, 3 - Black.

That's it!!

Resize your image again to your liking, crop any opaque parts.

Add your name and copyright info. Save as .png for a transparent

background or .jpg for a white background.

Hope you enjoyed this tut!!

Thanks!
