This tutorial assumes a basic working knowledge of PSP. I used x15.
PTU Scrap kit is Venom And Vines from Doodle By Design, available at her store HERE
The tube is AI by Sophisticat Simone and is available in her store HERE
Mask of choice. I used a free one #125 from Moonbeams And Spiderwebs, available on her blog HERE
The text in the background is a stamp called Vintage Stamps from Rachel's Designs, available on her blog (scroll down) HERE
Any spooky or gothic font will do - I used Who Asks Satan and you can download it HERE


Load your mask to the masks folder in PSP
Install your font to your system

In PSP open a new transparent image 700 x 700 - you can resize later if you like
Flood fill with white
Open paper 18, resize to 700 width, paste as new layer
Load your mask with source luminance, fit to mask, invert transparency and hide all mask checked
Merge group
Duplicate this layer and with your pick tool, pull down from the top to make a "floor" on your tag
Open the vintage stamps, and copy the text one, resize to 358 width, paste as new layer and move to the right side
Open element 15, rotate right 90, resize to 505 width, paste as new layer and move up and to the right
Open element 47, resize to 196 width, move to the right side and up just a bit
Open element 111, resize to 360 width, move down a bit and to the right side
Open element 97, resize to 317 width, move up to the top
Open element 40, resize to 307 width, move to the top left side
Open element 6, resize to 139 width, move to the left side and down a bit
Open element 33, resize to 223 width, move to the bottom right
Open element 60, resize to 174 width, move down to overlap the left side of the box
Open element 71, resize to 196 width, move down in front of the cat
Open Sophisticat Simone's tube, resize to 298 width, move down and to the left a bit
Open element 73, resize to 105 width, move down in front of the woman
Open element 53, resize to 131 width, move to the bottom left
Go through your layers and add drop shadows to your elements
I used 0, 5, 17, 13 black
If you want to resize your tag, do that now before adding any text
Add any copyrights or credits you have to your tag - for that I used Pixelette, black and reduced the opacity of the layer to 50%
For my name text, I used Who Asks Satan, #44a662 background, foreground null
Convert to raster layer
Selections, select all
Selections, float
Selections, defloat
Selections, modify, select selection borders, 2 outside
New raster layer
Fill the selection with white
Give it a drop shadow - I used, 0, 5, 5, 5, black
Merge down
Position where you want it
Delete the white background layer
Merge visible and save as a png file

Thanks for trying my tut - enjoy your tag!
