Program used: PSP 9

Level: Beginner

Supplies: Kit Forever And Ever by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. The kit can be bought here.

My template (PSD layered file). It can be downloaded here.

A scenic picture or mist of your choice.

* Open and duplicate the template. Save it. It will now be your working canvas.

* Open three papers, resize to 600*600 px. (Smartsize). C/p to your canvas just above layer “1″.

I use paper 1, 2 and 9 (blue) from kit Forever And Ever.

* Go to layer “2″, select, float, deselect. x-out the layer and then on paper 9 (blue), right click and promote selection to layer. x-out the original paper layer.

* Go to layer “3″ and repeat the last proces with paper 1. But don´t x-out this paper layer.

* I wanted a less pink background, so I placed paper 1 (the beige paper) above paper 2 (the pink paper) and lowered the opacity of the beige paper to 42.

The pink paper should now be the first (or lowest) layer, and the beige should be the next layer.

* Add a drop shadow to the two promoted selection layers.

This is what my tag looks like now:

*  Open your scenic picture or mist. C/p it onto the canvas just above the x-ed out layer “3″.

* On layer “3″ click inside the rectangle, expand the selection with 3 px.. Then go to the scenic picture/mist layer. Promote this layer to a selection. x-out the original scenic layer.

* Open lhsHEART_kitForeverAndEver_01. Resize to 17%.

C/p onto your canvas. Add a drop shadow to the heart. Then place it at the right bottom of the canvas.

* Open lhsSTRINGOFHEARTS_kitForeverAndEver_01. Resize to 17% and c/p it to the canvas.

Rotate it with 35 degrees to the left. It is still a bit too big, so resize it with 80%.

Add a drop shadow. I want to make this a perspective shadow, so remember to chose “Add On New Layer” when making the shadow.

* Go to the warp brush and with these settings:

warp the drop shadow under the bows. When satisfied, apply the warp.

* If you like: add your name or some other text part to your tag.

* Your tag is now finished!

This is what mine looks like:
