Feel free to use my tutorial in any way you would like. Although it is my ideas that will guide you, please feel free to do whatever you choose with it!

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Needed supplies:

Scrap Kit of choice or the one I am using. This kit is by Pimp'd Tag Scraps and can be purchased at Sophisti-Scraps called The Saga Character Collection : Jasper

Masks of Choice: the masks I used came from Chelle under downloads. Her site can be found here.

I used WSL_222.

Template: Yvette's twilight templates can be found on her site here.

I used template one which can be found here.

Image of choice. My image is by David Desbois. You can visit his deviantart site here. I have permission from him to use his artwork in my tutorials.


Open all supplies needed for this tutorial. Add the mask to your mask file or open them in PSP. I use these quite a bit.

Shift + D to duplicate your template. Delete the copyright on your duplicated template layer. Close out the original template.

Copy and paste pp13 as a new layer. Resize it to fit the tag, and then Layers, Load/Save Mask from Disk, Load Mask, Choose Chelle's WSL_222. Stretch this layer to peek out of the template.

If you are unfamiliar with a template it is very simple and easy to use. Basically, you click on the layer you wish to color. Then, Selections, Select All, Selections Float, Selections Defloat, Selection Invert (for papers) and then select the paper layer and hit the delete key on your keyboard. If you are using a flood fill color, just add a new layer and flood fill the selection. If you are using a round shape, you would also need to go to Selections, Smooth, 10 for settings, then Invert. I won't be writing these directions out everytime.

Below you will find the template layer and the paper layer used in my tag.

Square - pp9
Rectangles - pp2
Obsessed - pp10
Twilight - pp6
Dots - none

Add your elements of choice. See tag for exact placement and resize as necessary. I added:

ribbon-03 just above your mask layer to the left a little bit.
staple on the notebook paper layer, rotated 90 degrees and to the left of the notebook paper layer.
greens-01 resized 31% and moved to the bottom left of the green paper layer. Duplicate, Image Mirror.
flower-03 to the top right of the notebook paper layer in the corner.
cb-edge to the top left corner of the notebook paper layer.
border to the top of the tag stretched across to the ends of the green paper layer.
bow-01 to the top left of the green paper layer, on the border. Duplicate and mirror.

Add any other elements of your choice.


Misting an image is very easy. Using your magic wand, freehand selection, use these options:

Click on the image and choose Promote Background Layer. Now, start anywhere in the image you want to begin. What you are going to do is left click to place the pointer and then move the line to the next point and click again to make a rough cutout of the portion of the image you would like to mist. When you are done, right click and the selection will be made. Then, hit delete on your keyboard once or twice to feather the image around it.

Now add your misted image to the tag!

Drop shadow your layers and merge them where you would like.

Add your copyright at this time for the scrapkit.

Add your text of choice, I used Pea Andrea for the text and the font, with a medium 3.0 white gradient glow if desired. You could also use a white drop shadow to create the same results.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Please feel free to send me your results!
