Scrap used Sweet as Honey by Kristin Cronin-Barrow
Font of choice I used BluePlateSpecial on the avatar and
Adam's Font on the sig tag
Graphic Program of choice, I use PSP 9
My Templates that you can find HERE and HERE

This tutorial assumes you have working knowledge of paint shop pro,
All of my tutorials are my own creation and any similarity
with any other tutorial is purely coincidential.
Please do not copy my tutorials to anyplace, please link back to my blog!

Open the templates I supplies, the signature template is a little
larger than most due to I like to have room to work, you can
resize when you are done with your tag,

delete the copyright layer on the template and begin with
the background layer, (raster1) select all and open paper4
resize by 35% and c/p as a new layer, invert selections
and hit delete, now go to the dots layer, select all, float
and defloat, add a new raster layer and fill with a color that
matches the kit or colors of your tube you are using, I used
#6b4009, deselect and delete the original dots layer,
now go to your vine layer and do the same as above,
you can use a paper or add a new layer and fill, I used
paper1 from the kit, select none and delete the original layer
now lets go to the box frame 4 layer, select all, float and defloat
invert selection and open paper3 from the kit, resize by 21%
and c/p as a new layer, hit delete, select none and delete
the original layer, do this for that rest of the box frames,
now lets go to the frame layer, select all, float, defloat,and add
a new layer, fill with #6b4009 or a paper of choice, and select none
delete the original layer, now grab your magic wand and click outside
the frame and then invert, go up and crop to selection,
Now on my line's layers, I selected all, floated and then defloat
on line one I added a new layer and filled with #6b4009
on line two I added a new layer and filled with #e8a436
I also added a few elements from the kit to my sig tag
I added the bee, I resized it by 12% and then rotated it to
the left by 18% I duplicated and mirrored it, I resized this one
by 80% and then rotated it to the right by 18% I also added
the beehive to my tag, I placed this layer right above the bottom
paper layer and resized it by 60% and placed it towards the far
right, Now open the sunflower and c/p as a new layer, again
this is just above the bottom paper layer, resize by 35% and
place to your liking, now I added a bit of noise to my main
frame layer, set to about 50% I did the same on the 2 lines
now add a dropshadow of choice I used a big but light dropshadow
Now add a tube or tubes of choice, merge visible.

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,
it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right
information and Save the way you prefer to save tags,

Now for the avatar, I used the same colors and papers as
I did for the signature tag, but you can always change it
to what you want to use,

I hope you enjoyed this tut
