Shhh Now

I wrote this tutorial on 20th April 2008. Any similarity to any other tutorial is coincidental. Please do not claim it as your own.

I used Paint Shop Pro 9 but this tag can be done in any version. You will need a good knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.

YOU WILL NEED:

* I have used the artwork of Zindy S.D Nielson. You can purchase her artwork HERE

Alternatively you are able to use some of Zindy's Free Images (you will need to tube them yourself) from HERE

* Scrap Set - Thank you to Missy from Misfits Scrapz for allowing the use of her "Butterfly Kisses" scrap kit. Missy and Yvette both supply some gorgeous scrap kits free to use from their Misfits Scrapz site which you can find HERE

* Font - I have used Mistral and Coolsville, or you can use a font of your choice.

* Plug In - Penta.com - Colour Dot

* Mask - I have used one that is supplied with Paint Shop Pro 9

LETS START!

1) Open a new transparent image - size 600 x 400. Flood fill white.

2) Copy and paste papers of your choice as a new layer. I have used papers supplied by Missy in her "Butterfly Kisses" scrap kit. You should use atleast three different ones. Highlight one of the papers and using your selcection tool mark out a square within the paper so that you are left with a frame. Repeat this process on the second paper colour.

3) Hightlight the third paper colour. On this layer we are going to use your Ellipse tool to mark out a circle. You will need to do this twice so that you end up with not only a circle layer but a circle frame.

This is what you should have by now :

4) Add drop shadows of your choice to each of these layers. Once this is done we are going to use your pen tool to draw outlines on the two squares and the circle layer as shown above. Use different colours on each of these layers so that they are more noticeable. I stuck to the colour theme of green, yellow and pink, but you can use what ever colours you would like.

5) Position your two squares and circle layer to your liking, or you can use my completed tag as a guide.

6) Highlight your white background layer and then add another layer by going to Layers - New Raster Layers. Highlight this layer and floodfill it with a colour of your choice. Use a mask of your choice on this layer. I have used one that is provided with Paint Shop Pro 9. Once this is done you will need to add your plug in to this layer. I have used Penta.com's color dot.

7) Higlight your circle layer. Under this layer we are going to place another circle layer as a background. Using your Ellipse tool, draw out a circle layer under the circle frame. Layers - Convert to raster. Once you have done this add your dragonfly layer over the top of the circle layer.

You should have something like this :

8) Copy and paste your tube of choice as a new layer. Position this under your top frame layer. Add drop shadow of choice.

9) Once this has been done its time to add the rest of your embellishments. I have added 3 flowers, a ribbon and a tag. I obtained these from Missy's "Butterfly Kisses" scrap kit also. Postion your embellishments to your liking and then add a drop shadow of your choice.

10) Time to add our text. I have used the font Coolsville to add my "Shh!" text and Mistral font to add my name. If you dont have these fonts, use a font of your choice.

11) Last but not least add the artists © to the tag.

For those of you who have a working knowledge of Animation Shop you can animate your tag to your liking. I have added a little butterfly's to my tag as seen below.
