This tutorial was made using basic knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.

I am using Version 9 but any version will do. Let's get started.

Supplies

( I am using the works of ©Elizabeth Austin at CILM)

Add on Kit - Little Spring

http://sevens-scraps.blogspot.com/

Font of Choice

::Flower Angel::

Okay let's begin. Open up your PSP to a blank workspace. I use 550x550 as my standard. I don't really like to create too big of tags. So use whatever size may work for you. Open up your download of the Little Spring kit and Open your Large frame LS_Frame01. If this is too large for your size tag resize it to your liking. Copy and Paste your Frame to your blank workspace. Then Image>Rotate>Free Rotate> Direction Right 90Degrees. Go to your paper elements and select your paper of choice. Using your Magic Wand Tool, Select the inside of your frame. Copy and Paste your paper as a new layer. Selections>Invert>Delete. Selections None. Move your Paper Layer below your Frame layer. Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.

Go back to your elements and now select your LS_Frame02. Resize this frame again to your liking and place the frame to the top right hand corner of your Merged Frame layer. Using your Magic Wand Tool, Select the inside of your Frames. Select them all to use the same papers or One at a time to change the paper in each square. Selections>Modify>Expand. Increase this number so that your Marching Ants expands along the frame not inside. Go to your Paper elements and select your paper or papers of choice. Selections>Invert>Delete. Selections>None. Move your Papers below your frame.

Using your want one last time Select inside one of your frames. Selections>Modify>Expand. You can used the same preset Expand as previous. Go to your tube and Copy and Paste above your Marching Ants. With your tube layer selected. Selections>Invert>Delete.

Move this tube layer below your Frame. Double Click on the Layer in your Layer Palette. Blend Mode: Select_Luminance Legacy. Click OK. Lower your Opacity to 80%. If you want to add a text box to your tag. This is your time to do so. Open up the Pink or either the Green lined text box and move it to the top left hand side of your tag below your frame and papers. Add a small dropshadow to this layer.

Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.

Go back to your Elements and open your Flower and your Green of your Choice. Resize your Flower and your Green to your liking. I made some smaller than the other one. Add a small dropshadow to both of them. Copy and Paste your Green onto your Merged Frame. Duplicate the original and Move your copies around to create more flowers. Go to your Flower and follow the same steps. Placing your Flowers slightly to the side of your Green so that it appears as if your flower has leaves. Do this to all of your Green to create your beautiful flowers.

Open your tube again.

Resize your tube to your liking. Copy and Paste your Tube in the center of your tag. Rearrange your flowers if your need to so that you aren't completely covering them with your tube. Once you are finished and completely satisfied with the outlook of your tube add a small dropshadow.

Open up your doodles which is totally optional and place these below the tag. Duplicate these so that you can get different effects of the doodle and not overshadow the tag.

For the last time.

Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.

Add your copyright information and your License number.

And BAM!!!!! we are done.

YAY!!!!! Crop away any excess workspace you may have left. Making sure not to take a piece of the doodle or the frame while you do this.

Save your tag as a .pspimage for later distribution.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Feel free to email me your results if you like me to display them on my blog.

This will be my first time being an auntie and I am just so EXCITED!!!!!! I have been helping my younger sister prepare. YAY! me. More housework and less sleep still. lol! I am almost back.

:: A Blissful Spring ::

A Blissful Spring

To complete this tutorial you must have working knowledge of PaintShop Pro. I used version 9 but any version is okay. I am creating with the beautiful works of Barbara Jensen. You can pick up this Spring Pack at her website HERE. Scrapkit I used is FTU-Blissfull Colors made by Doris over at ScrapsDimensions. You can pick it up HERE. Template used is one of my own. You can pick that up HERE it is template #12 .

Script font and Bold Font of Choice. Now that we have all the supplies, let's begin.

Open up your template #12.

Duplicate this tempate by pressing the Ctrl key +D. Delete the original Template.

Delete Raster 8 layer which is the copyright layer and hide the bottom black background layer. With the background layer hidden you can go to Image>Canvas Size resize it to the layer that you usually make your workspace. when you are finish click OK.

Select the large Circle Raster 2. Selections>Select All> Float>Defloat. Go to your Scrapkit made by Doris and Open up your paper of choice. Copy and Paste this paper layer over top of your selections and then Selections>Invert>Delete. Now to back to the Raster 2 layer and Delete the original Circle. Now go to your Smaller Circles and Add a paper to these circles just as you did to the large ones. Selections>Select All> Float> Defloat or you can Highlight all of your Cirlces by using the Magic Wand tool and Colorizing each Circle to match the colors of your tube. Adjust>Hue/Saturation>Colorize. Fill all of the Circles. I used two papers and alternated the colors. This is totally your choice to do however your may like. Add a small dropshadow to your small circles. Go to your Rectangle layers and Add a paper of choice or colorize these layers as well. Select the dotted line around the cirle and Colorize this too to match a color from your tube. I used a color that wasn't that common in my tag. Add a dropshadow. When you have finished. With the black background layers still hidden Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.

Save your progress.

Open up your Scrapkit elements. Select Two of the Flower Doodles of Choice and Two individual flowers that are opposite of the colors of the doodles. Open your doodle and resize it by 60%. Place the doodle on the bottom right had side of your template. Just right along the edge of the large circle. Open up your Eraser tool and erase the tail end of the Doodle. Add a dropshadow to this layer. Duplicate this doodle. Selections>Duplicate. Now go to Image>Mirror. This should place your doodle right beside the original. Then Image>Flip. Move the Duplicated layer so that it is aligned along the Circle template like before. Open up you Second doodle and follow the same steps. Resize the doodle, Use your eraser tool, Align, Duplicate place them to your liking.

Use my tag above as a reference. Now open up your individual flower, only one, Resize this flower by 20% and add a drop shadow. Copy and paste this tube as a new layer on your workspace and place it in between the connection of your two doodles. Look at my tag above to see how I placed it. Go back to your flower and resize it by 15% and place it a few more times in your tag. Open up the other flower of your choice and resize it by 10% add a dropshadow and place this flower within your workspace. Duplicate this flower and add it as much or as little as you like. Use my tag as a reference if you need an idea.

Open up your tube of choice. Resize this tube so that it doesn't spill over the tag much. Add a small dropshadow like you did on your flowers and place it into the Center of your template. Add your Copyright information and license number to your tag now and then select Layers>Merge>Merge Visible. Save your progress. Open up your Font folder and find a Bold font of your choice. Make the text a color from your tag and add a 2.0 white stroke width. If your tag doesn't have legs like mine. Type out your Word "SPRING" and place it over your flat edge where your tube lacks legs. Right click on your Text Layer in the Palette and Covert to raster layer. Open up a pretty Script font and with the stroke width lowered to 1.0. Write out the word "HAPPY" convert this layer also to a Raster layer and place this to the upper left hand size of your word "SPRING" Do this one more time adding the name of the recipient of this tag.

Add a dropshadow and Save your tag.

BAM!!!! We are now and finally done.

I hope you have enjoyed my tut. If you find anything wrong with this tut feel free to email me HERE and let me know so that I can fix it. I would love to see your results and add them to my blog. Thanks for trying my tut. xxx Kay
