It may not be copied or reproduced in whole or in part without my written permission 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 Lavender Summer by Designz by Anorie, available at her store HERE If you need Animation Shop, its free to download HERE The animation is from Sophisticat Simone, available in her store HERE The tube is one of three included in the kit The mask is a free one from Sophisticat Simone available on her blog HERE I used mask 0406 from Pack 403-408 Any nice script font will do but I used Always Black and you can download it HERE Load your mask to the masks folder in PSP Install the font to your system Open AS and minimize for now In PSP on a new raster layer about 400 x 400 using a light mauve, in a nice script font, type any script you want. It can be anything pretty, positive, nice that fits the tag. Don't fuss too much because it will be quite light in the background when done.
