Let's Begin--

Open the template in PSP. Shift+D to duplicate it and close the original.

Go to Image-Canvas size, change the numbers to 700X700. Click on the background layer and flood fill it with white.

There are three rectangles in the back of the template. Click on the top rectangle. Go to Selections-Select All, Float, Defloat, copy and paste a paper of choice from the kit. Selections-Invert, hit delete key. Delete original template layer. Add drop shadow of 0,0,88,8. Repeat this step with the BOTTOM rectangle using the same paper.

Repeat the above process for the rest of the parts of the template using a different paper each time. DON'T add the drop shadow to the big circle and the big rectangle in the middle yet.

Once you are done with that, click on the circle layer, go to Effects-3D Effects-Plug Ins-Eye Candy 4000-Gradient Glow, change the top number to around 8 and click the color tab then click on fat. Apply these settings. Add the same gradient glow with the same settings to the other big rectangle in front that is next to the circle, see my tag for reference. Now add your drop shadow.

Copy and paste your tube of choice on top of the template. Resize if needed. Add drop shadow.

Open one of the buttons from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it down between 20-25%, depending on how big you want it. Rotate it to the right by 15 degrees, move it to the bottom right hand corner like shown in my tag, add drop shadow.

Open one of the "Bad Girlfriend" word arts from the kit. Copy and paste it onto your canvas. Resize it by 25%, rotate it to the right by 10 degrees, place it on top of the large rectangle in the middle, add drop shadow.

Open one of the lips stickers, copy and paste it onto your canvas, resize it by 12%, add gradient glow but change the number to 3 and click on fat in the color tab, add drop shadow, place it where you would like it. Duplicate it, mirror it, place the duplicate somewhere else on the tag. Duplicate it again and move it if you want one more.

Add any other elements you want from the kit.

Add your name and copyright information.

Crop and resize as needed.
