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.

Select element 7 layer.  Duplicate and drag this layer above element 11 layer.  Move to the bottom of the large stone.  Duplicate again and move to the right under the mouse on the far right.

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.

Sunflowers and Smiles


This tutorial was written by me on March 18, 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 beautiful tube "Sunflowers 3".  You can purchase this beauty here.

PTU Kit:  I am using a fabulous kit called "Sunflower and Smiles" created by Wicked Princess Scraps.  You can purchase it here.

FTU Mask.  Mask_Vivienne_0092.  I am using the png masks.  You can grab it on her blog here.

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.

Copy and paste mask 0092, Resize 75% and move to the upper left of the tag.  Select all, float, defloat and add a new raster layer.  Open paper of choice.  I am using paper 8.  Copy and close the original.  Standing on the new raster layer, Edit, paste into selections.  Select none.  Duplicate this layer and resize 90%.  Move down slightly and to the right.

Select Vivienne's mask layer.  Using the pick tool set to scale, pull the top down so the mask looks almost flat.  Move to the bottom of the tag.  Select all, float, defloat.   Open paper of choice.  I am using paper 5.  Copy and close the original. Paste as a new layer.  Move the paper layer up so the grass is in the marching ants.  Selections, invert and hit delete on your keyboard.  Select none and delete Vivienne's mask layer.  This layer will give us some ground coverage.   I will refer to this layer and ground coverage mask in the tutorial.

Element 67 - Resize 70% and move to the right side of the lower mask about midway down.  Select the lower mask layer.  Select all, float, defloat, invert.  Select element 67 layer and hit delete on your keyboard.  Select none.

Select element 66 and duplicate it.  Drag this layer above element 68 layer and move to the bottom of the horse.

Element 150 - Resize 50% and move to the bottom right of element 142.  Drop shadow.

Select the ground coverage mask (grass one) and move under the barn.  Duplicate, mirror and move under the house.  Using the pick tool set to scale, pull the right side out slightly so it shows under element 66 layer.

Select the top layer.

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.
