This tutorial was written by me on March 11, 2025. The results are of my own imagination.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.  

Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.

This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating the tag.

Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)

Supplies needed

I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.

PTU Tube:  I am using Trinita's gorgeous multi layered tube "Tenderness 1".

You can purchase this beauty at VM Artists here.

PTU Kit:  I am using a fabulous kit called "Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishes" created by Wicked Princess Scraps.  You can purchase it here.

Mask_Vivienne_92.png.  You can grab it over on Vivienne's blog here.

Font of choice for your name.  

Plug in: None

Drop shadow of choice.  I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 5, Opacity 50, Blur 10, color black.

I use Vivienne’s drop shadows quite a bit as I really like the look of her shadows.  Thank you for letting me use your settings for my tutorials.

An image can get blurred when you resize an element or tube in PSP.  I use unsharpen mask for each item.  Vivienne has wonderful tips and tricks on how to do this here.

Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.

Let’s get started.

Open a new 800x800 transparent image.  We will resize later.  Flood fill with white.

Remember to sharpen and drop shadow each image as you create the tag.

Vivienne's mask.  Resize 70%.  Select all, float, defloat.  Add a new raster layer.  Open paper of choice.  I am using paper 7, copy and close the original.  Standing on the new raster layer, Edit, paste into selections.  Select none and delete Vivienne's black mask layer.  Move to the upper left of the tag.  

Element 63 - Resize 25% and move to the upper right of the mask.  Drop shadow.

Element 98 - Resize 50% and move to the upper left of the mask.  Drop shadow.

Element 55 - Resize 30% and move to the right side of the mask.  Drop shadow.

Element 43 - Resize 30% and move to the right of element 98.  Drop shadow.

Element 109 - Resize 20% and move to the lower right of element 98.  Drop shadow.

Copy and paste the main tube as a new layer.  Resize 25% and move to the lower right of the tag.  See my tag for placement.  Drop shadow.

Select the layer under the tube.

Element 93 - Resize 40% and move to the right of the car.  Drop shadow.

Element 83 - Resize 40% and move behind the of tube.  Drop shadow.

Element 3 - Resize 15% and move to the lower left of element 113.  Drop shadow.

Element 46 - Resize 25% and move to the lower right of the fence.  Drop shadow.

Element 99 - Resize 18% and move to the lower left of the fence.  Drop shadow.

Element 69 - Resize 55% and move to the under the tube so the water is hiding under the dress.  Duplicate and move this layer under the house layer.  See my tag for placement. Drop shadow each layer.

Select the top element 69 layer.

Element 2 - Resize 10% and move to the lower right of tube.  Drop shadow.

Element 45 - Resize 20% and move to the left of element 69.  Drop shadow.

Element 102 - Resize 15% and move to the lower right of element 45.  Drop shadow.

Element 84 - Resize 15% and move to the right of element 102.  Drop shadow.

Element 90 - Resize 10% and move to the lower right of element 84.  Drop shadow.

Element 62 - Resize 15% and move to the lower right of element 69.  Drop shadow.

Select the top layer.

Element 94 - Resize 15% and move to the lower right of element 62.  Drop shadow.

Element 113 - Resize 15% and move to the lower right of element 94.  Drop shadow.

Element 101 - Resize 10% and move to the lower right of element 113.  Drop shadow.

Element 74 - Resize 10% and move to the lower left of element 113.  Drop shadow.

Element 103 - Resize 12% and move to the lower right of the nest.  Drop shadow.

Element 112 - Resize 10% and move to the lower right of the nest.  Drop shadow.

Element 85 - Resize 20% and move to the right of the tube by the rocks.  Drop shadow.

Element 115 - Resize 15% and move to the lower left of element 85.  Drop shadow.

Add any other elements you would like and make any adjustments on the tag.

Select the mask layer and duplicate it.  Move it down and to the right.  Duplicate this layer.  Using the pick tool, set to scale, pull the top of the mask down so it looks almost flat.  Duplicate and mirror.  Duplicate it 3 more times for a total of 5.  Move it under the elements.  See my tag for placement.  

Crop and resize your tag.  Be careful not to crop off any shadows or mask edges.  I resize mine to 650px on the width (if needed) as that is what fits my blog best.

Hide the white background and save as png.
