This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to make your tag unique by using your own choice of tube and scrap kit. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use the same supplies that I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is purely coincidental.

Supplies Used:

Tube by Andy Cooper. This tube is part of the “Pretty Colors” collab which can be purchased at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=587_144&products_id=18282&zenid=4k6tc72d27p8uequ28ot4kips2

Scrap Kit by Lil Mz Brainstorm. This kit is also part of the collab above.

All you need to do is spend $11.00 at Scraps N Company and you can get the entire collab for free which contains some awesome goodies.
