Open up everything in your PSP.

•-:1:-•

Open a new transparent image 550x450.
Floodfill with white.

Go to the brown tagback, copy & paste as new layer.

Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow
V & H 2, O 47, B 5, C black

•-:3:-•

Go to the flower border, copy & paste as a new layer.
Apply the same drop shadow.
Place the border on edge of either side of the tagback. I chose the left.

•-:4:-•

Now, go to the beaded frame, copy & paste as a new layer.
Apply the same drop shadow.
This should be in the middle of your tagback.

•-:5:-•

Go to the photo you're using, copy & paste as a new layer.
You might need to resize it to get what you want to show inside the frame.

Layers/Arrange/Move Down
Position your photo to your liking.
Take your Eraser Tool & erase all the excess photo outside of the frame.

You'll notice I included 2 buttons in the supplies.
I decided to make you a blank button in case you wanted to do your own thing with text, etc. to it.
I used the heart button. Or you can use both. Up to you. :)
Copy & paste button as a new working layer.
Apply same drop shadow.

Layers/Arrange/Move Up

Place button where you like. I placed mine at the top right.
I resized the blank button by 50%, sharpened, then placed it under the other button & frame.
Time to add stitches to your button.
I made 2 stitches for you to play with.
I used the bunch of stitches to attach my button.
Copy & paste stitches as a new working layer.
Layers/Duplicate
Now place the stitches on each side of the button.
Look at finished tag for reference.

•-:7:-•

Time to make your tag unique.
Add brushes, glitter, wordart, etc...
Or enjoy it like it is. :)

Add your text, copyright info (if needed).


When you're done, merge all layers, crop tag & save your creation!!
