Items you will need to complete this project:
The Saint Valentine collab taggers kit by the Scraps and the City design team, This kit is free with a $5 purchase at at Scraps and the City.com.
Tube of choice. I am using Roller Girl, by Lady Mishka. This is a PTU tube, and you must have a license to use this tube, which is available at Pics For Design.com.
Mask of choice. I am using Wee Scots Mask #261 which you can download HERE.
Font and/or alpha of choice. I am using Century Gothic which is a Windows System font. If you do not have it, you can download it HERE.
Note that H# and V# refer to horizontal and vertical coordinates on your canvas ruler grid. Make sure you have View -> Rulers checked in order to see the ruler grid.
When I say "Add to your canvas" I expect that you will copy and paste it as a new layer, unless otherwise stated in the tutorial.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. It was written using PSP X3, but should work in PSP 8 and up.
To begin, open a new raster layer canvas, 800 x 800 pxl, flood fill white.
Open paper of choice. I am using JST_SV_Paper4. Layers -> Load/Save Mask -> Load mask from disk and select mask of choice. I am using Wee Scots Lass mask # 261. Make sure the fit to canvas box is checked, then click on load.
Edit -> Copy Special -> Copy Merged and add to main canvas, centered.
Open SkyScraps-StValentin_E19 and add to main canvas, centered. Image -> Free Rotate -> Free Rotate Right, 20 degrees.
Open ATS_SV_scatteredhearts and add to main canvas, centered.
Open tube of choice. I am using psp_roller girl by Lady Mishka. Select the options you want (I changed the skates and the lollipop to violet), copy merged and add to your main canvas, centered.
Open SkyScraps-StValentin_E14 and rotate left. Resize to 600 pixels wide and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V600.
Open ATS_SV_interlockinghearts and add to main canvas centered at H550, V625.
Open JST-SV-WA1. On the layer pallet, click on the frame layer, Raster 2, to activate. Resize the word art to 75%m and add to the main canvas, centered at H600, V225.
Return to top layer.
On the materials pallet, set your foreground color to transparent and your background color to black (#000000). Using font of choice, add the copyright information to the tag. For the Roller Girl tube, that information is:

I am using Century Gothic, 4 points bold and centered. I have my credits centered at H550, V600. I also added the background credits and tagged by information at this point. Then I free rotated my text, left, 22 degrees to match the angle on the frame.
Finally I added a white drop shadow using the following settings: Offsets, 3 each, opacity of 100%, blur of 5, color #ffffff. I then repeated using offsets of -3 each, leaving all other settings the same.
Starting with Raster 2, the frame layer and working upward, add a drop shadow of choice to each of the elements on your main canvas. I am using offsets, vertical and horizontal of 5 each, opacity of 75%, blur of 15 and color black (#000000).
You can now save the Artist's Copy of your tag as a .pspimage file.
Using font or alpha of choice add desired name to the tag. I am using the Alpha that comes with the collab and have my name centered at H300, V500 (or there about). I have added a drop shadow to my name to match the rest of the tag.
Drop the white background layer and merge visible. Resize to 75% (600 x 600 pixels) and save as a .png file and you are all done.
