Easter Landscape


This tutorial was written by me on March 30, 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 Kit:  I am using a fabulous kit called "Easter Landscape" created by Bella CaribeƱa.  You can purchase it here.

Tube is included in the kit.

Font of choice for your name.  

Plug in: None

Drop shadow of choice.  I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 5, Opacity 65, 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.

Element 9 - Resize 80% and move to the top left of the tag.  Duplicate and move to the lower right of the tag.

Select a mask layer and duplicate.  Using the pick tool, set to scale, Drag the top down so it looks almost flat.  Move under the elements on the right where the owl is.  Duplicate and move under the bunnies in the wheel barrel.  Duplicate and move under the lamb and grass.  Duplicate one more time and move under the tube.

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

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.

Add your name and copyright.

Hide the white background and save as png.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial.  I would love to see your results.

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

PTU Kit:  I am using a fabulous kit called "Gothic Easter" created by Curious Creative Dreams.  You can purchase it here.

FTU Mask:  MIZ_Mask 383.  I am using the jpg version.  You can grab it on Mizteeques blog here.

Mask_DFly_0018,jpg by Vivienne.  You can grab her mask here.

Font of choice for your name. 

Plug in: Mura Meister - Copies.

Drop shadow of choice.  I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 5, Opacity 85, 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.

Select all and add a new raster layer.

Open Mizteeques mask in PSP and minimize.

Open and copy paper of choice.  I am using paper 18.  Select the new raster layer and paste into selections.  Select none.  Go to Layers, new mask layer, from image.  Locate Mizteeques mask in the drop down and apply.  Merge group and resize 80%.

Open and copy paper of choice.  I am using paper 2.  Select the new raster layer and paste into selections.  Select none.  Go to Layers, new mask layer, from image.  Locate Vivienne's mask in the drop down and apply.  Merge group and resize 90%.  Drag this layer under the first mask and slightly to the upper left.

Select the top mask layer.

Frame 4 - Resize 50%.  Using the magic wand, click inside the frame.  Selections, modify, expand by 5.  Add a new raster layer and drag this under the frame layer.  Open paper of choice.  I am using paper 12.  Copy.  Standing on the new raster layer, edit, paste into selections.  Select none and drop shadow the frame.  Merge the frame down to the paper.  Move to the upper left of the mask.

Select the top mask layer.

Element 18 - Copy and paste as a new layer.  Resize 20%.  Apply Mura Meister, copies.  Drop down select encircle.  Number set to 12 and everything else stays at the default.  Click ok.  Resize 95% and move to the center of the frame. Drop shadow.

Element 35 - Resize 15% and move to the top right of the cluster.  Drop shadow.

Select the top layer.

Element 23 - Resize 15% and move to the top center of the frame.  Drop shadow.

Element 91 - Resize 15% and move to the bottom center of the frame.  Drop shadow.

Element 28 - Resize 20% and move to the lower left of the frame.  Drop shadow.

Element 16 - Resize 15% and move to the lower right of element 28.  Drop shadow.

Element 10 - Resize 20% and move to the right of element 16.  Drop shadow.

GE_Tubes(1) - Resize 35% and Move to the right side of the frame.  Drop shadow. 

Select the layer under the tube.

Element 13 - Resize 20% and move to the lower right of the tube.  Drop shadow. 

Select the tube layer.

Element 18 - Resize 20% and move to the bottom center of the tube.  Drop shadow.

Element 69 - Resize 15% and move to the upper right of element 18.  Drop shadow.  

Element 64 - Resize 15%, mirror and move to the lower right of the tube.  Drop shadow.

Element 52 - Resize 20% and move to the lower left of element 64.  Drop shadow.

Element 90 - Resize 15% and move to the lower left of the clock.  Drop shadow.

Element 26 - Resize 15% and move to the bottom left of element 90.  Drop shadow.

Element 27 - Resize 10% and move to the bottom right of element 26.  Drop shadow.

Element 79 - Resize 10% and move to the bottom left of the basket.  Drop shadow.

Element 70 - Resize 7% and move to the bottom right of element 79.  Drop shadow.

Element 86 - Resize 10% and move to the bottom left of element 79.  Drop shadow.

Select Vivienne's mask layer and duplicate it.  Using the pick tool set to scale, pull the top of the mask down so it almost looks flat.  Move down so it shows under the tube and elements on the bottom of the tag.

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

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.

Add your name and copyright.

Hide the white background and save as png.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial.  I would love to see your results.
