This tutorial assumes a basic working knowledge of PSP and Animation Shop - although you can make the tag without animation if you prefer

PTU Scrap kit is The Black Siren from Doodle By Design, available at her store HERE
If you need Animation Shop, its free to download HERE
The texture I've used is available to download HERE
The sparkle animation is free from Sophisticat Simone on her blog HEREScroll down under the Celine match
The tube is ©Barbara Jensen and is available in her store HERE
Mask of choice. I used Mask 66 from Moon Beams and Spider Webs HERE
Any nice font will do - I used Poetry of Silence and you can download it HERE


Install the texture to your textures folder in PSP folder
Load your mask to the masks folder in PSP
Install your font to your system
Open AS and minimize for now

In PSP open a new transparent image 700 x 700 - you can resize later if you like
Flood fill with white
Open paper5, resize to 700 width, paste as new layer
Load your mask with source luminance, fit to canvas and hide all mask checked
Merge group
Effects, texture effects, texture and choose blgr079 with these settings

Duplicate this layer
With your pick tool, pull down from the top to make a "floor"
Adjust, blur, gaussian blur, 6
Reduce the width to about 440 amd center it horizontally
Open element 151, resize to about 435 width, move to the top left
Open element 10, resize to about 285 width, move to the top right
I removed the finial at the top of the pole so it wouldn't stick out above the woman's head
Open element 113, rotate left 90, resize to about 480 width, move to the left a bit
Open element 164, resize to about 130 width, move up to the right a bit
Open element 76, resize to about 110 width, move right so it overlaps the bottom of the flower a bit
Open element 162, resize to about 220 width, move slightly up and right
Open element 50, resize to about 140 width, move to overlap the right side of the red rose
Open your Barbara Jensen tube, copy, close and paste as new layer
Eventually, you'll remove the bottom part of the tube, but leave it now for placement - you can remove later
Open element 91, resize to about 205 width, move down a bit to the bottom of the woman's corset
Now you can delete the bottom part of the tube that shows below the map book
Open element 47, resize quite small and move to the bottom right overlapping the map book
Open element 48, resize quite small and move to overlap the bottom of the poison bottle
Open element 78, resize quite small, move to overlap the left bottom of the map book
Open element 30, resize to about 145 width, move so he overlaps the left dice
Open element 150, resize to about 150 width, move down and just to the left of the monkey
Open element 67, resize to about 105 width, move down to the left about even with the map book
Open element 34, resize to about 165 wdith, move down to the left, overlapping the cupcake
Rotate left just a bit
Open element 104, resize to about 105 width, move down to overlap the purse just a bit
Open element 24, resize quite small and move to the bottom center
Go through your layers and add drop shadows to your elements - I used 0, 5, 15, 12, black

IF YOU ARE NOT ANIMATING THE TAG, resize if you want and then add your copyrights/credits and text
Then delete the white background layer and save as a png file

IF YOU ARE ANIMATING THE TAG
Add your copyrights/credits and text
For my text I used Poetry of Silence, silver in the foreground, black in the background
Convert to raster and give it a drop shadow - I use 0, 5, 5, 5, black
Starting with the layer below the woman, merge down to and including the white background layer
Copy this merged layer and go to AS and paste as new animation
Duplicate until you have 13 frames and then minimize for now
Open the animation Celine004 mng file
Edit, select all
Edit, copy and then close
Maximize your tag frames and make sure you slider is all the way to the left so Frame 1 is on your screen
Edit, select all
Edit, paste into selection - in Frame 1 - position mostly to the left side of where the woman will be and click once to set in place
Edit, paste into selection, in Frame 1 - position mostly to the right side of where the woman will be and click once to set in place
Minimize your tag frames again
Back to PSP, close the eye on the bottom merged layer
Click any other layer to activate it
Edit, copy special, copy merged
Go to AS and paste as new animation
Duplicate until you have 13 frames
Edit, select all
Edit, copy and the close
Maximize your tag frames again
Edit, paste into selected frame - Frame 1
Position and then click once to set it in place
Save as a gif file
