This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice of tube or scrap kit to make your tag unique. If you want your tag to look just like mine them use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.
Supplies Used:
Tube of your choice. I am using one by Nocturne. This tube is called Cocoa. You can purchase it at http://picsfordesign.com
Scrap kit is called Autumn Blessings by Purple Dream Scraps. You can purchase it at http://picsfordesign.com
Mask of your choice. I am using one by Moonbeams and Spiderwebs. You can download it at http://moonbeamsandspiderwebs.blogspot.com/2015/10/masks-79.html
Font of your choice. I am using Morning Sky Two. This is a PTU font.
Plugins:

Drop shadow used throughout:
0 0 85 12.00 a dark brown color from my tube

Let's Begin:
Open paper 12 from the kit and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Re-size if you wish. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group. Selections select all float and defloat. Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Position so her face is within the selected area of the mask. Selections invert. Hit delete and I hit it a few times to bring it in but this is up to you. Apply the Xero Porcelain plugin using the default settings. Merge these 2 layers together. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 45 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size by 85% and then again by 90%. Add a drop shadow.
Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until you are happy. Place to the far left side. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 46 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until in nice proportion with your tube. Move behind your tube and place to the right behind her shoes. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 40 and re-size. Copy and paste as a new layer and place on the far right near the top of the frame. I used my eraser tool to make it look like it was coming out from behind the frame. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 07 and re-size. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move to the bottom far left and in front of your tube. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 11 and re-size. Copy and paste as a new layer. Drag under your tube but in front of the haystack. Place to the bottom right of the haystack. Add a drop shadow.

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

Plugins:
None
Drop shadow used throughout:
0 0 85 9.50 black

Let's Begin:
Open paper 3 from the kit and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Re-size the paper if you wish. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.
Open element 2 from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Place at the bottom center of your mask. Add a drop shadow.
Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed and place so it appears to be sitting on the bench. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 8 and copy and paste as a new layer. Drag to the bottom in front of the bench. Carefully use your eraser tool and erase any bits you want. I didn’t want it to cover the bench but more like it was just growing up around it.
Open element 15 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed. Place to the far left of the bench. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 16 and copy and paste as a new layer and re-size smaller than the first barrel. Move to the bottom right of the first barrel. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 31 and copy and paste as a new layer. Drag down to just above the mask layer. Move to the far right and tuck it behind the bench. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 30 and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size and place in the bottom right in front of the bench and light pole. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate and re-size this one by 50%. Move to the left side on the bench next to your tube.
Open element 43 and copy and paste a new layer. Re-size by 60%. Drag down to just on top of the bench. Use your eraser tool and erase any bits to make it look like its kind of entertwined with the bench. Add a drop shadow.
Open element 38 and copy and paste as a new layer. Place on the far left behind the apple barrel. Re-size as needed. Add a drop shadow. Duplicate and re-size by 70% and move to the far right near the first set of flowers.
