XOXO

You must have a working knowledge of PSP

Supplies:
Scrap Kit of choice or papers and elements of choice
( i'm using Sugar Pie purchased from The Sweet Shoppe)
Template 136 by Missy of Divine Intentionz. You can get it HERE
Mask of choice
Tube of choice
I'm using the awesome artwork of Elias Chatzoudis.
Please don't use the same tube as me unless you have a license to do so. You can get one from MPT.
Fonts of choice, i'm using Impact and Vujahday Flourish, both are paid fonts that I cannot supply.

Open your template in PSP and delete the top layer. Make your background layer active.
Go to Image, canvas size and make your canvas 700x700
( you can crop or resize later)
Blank out the three word art layers
(I deleted them as i'm not using them, but it's your choice)
Open up a paper of your choice.
On your template, select the cirlce layer.
Go to Selections, Select All
Selections, Float
Selections, De-float
Copy and paste your paper as a new layer.
Selections, Invert and Hit delete on your keyboard.
Now Selections, Select None.
Delete the black circle layer from your template.
Repeat this for your rectangle and heart layers on your template.
On your circle layer and your rectangle layer, give them the following drop shadow,

H 1V 1Opacity 40Blur 5color black

Blank out your heart layer for now.
Take your tube, copy and paste as a new layer.
Line it up with the left bottom of your rectangle layer( see tag for reference)
Add the samedrop shadow to your tube.
If you wish, you may add a ribbon or other element of choice along the bottom of
the rectangle layer, ABOVE your tube layer. If you wish to hide the seam.
add the same drop shadow to your ribbon.
Now unblank out your heart layer and bring it to the top.
Arange it to the right hand side of your tag.
Apply the same drop shadow as before.
I added the XOXO word art from the kit that i'm using.If you don't have the same kit, you could easily do something similar.
Open up a paper of choice.In your color pallet,background and fills,select pattern and find your paper.Using your font Impact, text size 150, type out what you'd like.
Convert to raster layer.
Add the same drop shadow
Add any embelishments of your choice, apply the same drop shadow as before.
Click on your bottom layer, add a new raster layer.Flood fill with a color from your tag and apply a mask of choice.
Add your text, your watermark and copyrights.
Merge all your layers and save your tag as a jpeg or png.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial : )
