There are no examples; users should have a working knowledge of PaintShopPro.

Supplies:

I am using PaintShop Pro XI

Filter - Xero Fritillary

Filter - Tramages - Tow The Line

Font of Choice

Tube of Choice - I used Zebrush which can not be used without a License.  You may purchase the tube at PicsForDesign.

"With Love" is a very special Collaboration.  The portion I used is KissedbyPix Designs; please visit her blog to learn more about the Collaboration and where you can get it.  >HERE<.

Template of Choice – I used 168 by Millie's PSP Madness.  Be sure to say thank you if you download.

~ Here We Go ~

Open Template; duplicate; close the original. Delete the designer's CR layer.

Some templates are large – you can resize later.

Copy and paste your Tube below Layer 10.  Resize as necessary; add Drop Shadow.

Layer 1 - Select All; Float; Defloat; then Selections; Modify; Expand by 1; Invert.  Copy and paste Paper 4 as a new layer; hit Delete; Select None.  Add Shadow.

Layer 3 - Select All; Float; Defloat; then Selections; Modify; Expand by 1; Invert.  Copy and paste Paper 4A as a new layer.  Resize 75%, then hit Delete; Select None.  Add Shadow.

Layer 4 - Open Button 5; Resize 70%; copy and paste as new layer; place the Button over the circle.  Add Shadow.

Layer 5 - Fill with a color of your choice.  I used #EEADDF.  Apply Xero Fritillary with settings:  Granularity 4, Aggression 30, Tesselation 32, Variation 36.  Add Shadow.

Layer 6 - Fill with a color of your choice.  I used #59337E.  Select All; Float; Defloat; Copy and paste Tube Close-up; resize as necessary; move to position you like.  Invert selection; Delete; Select None.  Change Blend Mode to Luminance or something that suits your tube.  Merge these two layers together then add Shadow.

Open Heart 5.  Copy and paste above Layer 7.  Resize 10%; Mirror; place where you like.  Add Shadow.

Layer 8 rectangle - I used Color #9375B1.  Then effects Tramage - Tow The Line with the following:

Control 0:  64

Control 1:  130

Control 2:  36

Control 3:  12

* My filter is in Filters Unlimited - your Controls might be different if using stand-alone of Tramage.

Open Paper 2; copy.  On Layer 9 Large Heart Select All; Float; Defloat.  Add New Layer, paste Paper 2 Into Selection.  Select None.  Add Shadow.

Layer 10 - Wordart.  I used a color from the Kit and added Noise.

Add as many other Elements to decorate your tag as you wish.

This is where I delete the white layer and then crop tag to visible layers.  Then I resize the tag; All Layers.

Now add your Credits.  Adding them after resizing your tag will ensure that they remain crisp; clear; and easy to read.

Add your Name and any Effects.  I used Black for my Name and EyeCandy Gradient Glow with a medium Pink.

I saved my tag in Transparent PNG Format.
