Spring Day Forum Tag

Supplies:
Font of choice – mine is CAC Pinafore you can find it HERE
I used PSP x3 (any version will work)

“Spring Day” is a tagger size PTU scrap kit created by Creative Scraps by Crys and can be purchased from HERE or HERE

This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

~ Let's Begin!~

Settings will remain the same unless otherwise noted.

Open paper 3 -> resize 80%
Copy and paste as a new layer
Adjust the paper to your liking


I used the following elements from the kit, please use your creativity and add anything else you would like to your tag. 
(Please refer to my tag for placement of the elements)

Copy and paste hill as a new layer, move to the bottom half of your tag.
Add Drop Shadow
V/H: 1

Bottom: 250
Image > Crop to Selection (Shift+R)
