The creation of this tutorial is my own any resemblance to
any other tutorial is strictly a coincidence.

This tutorial was written using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is
for those with a working knowledge of Photoshop. This tutorial can be adapted
for anyone with a working knowledge of PSP.
Before we start, I would like to remind you to save
frequently. This is in case your program closes on you as mine is known to do. J I save as a .psd file. This keeps your
elements in layers instead of merging everything the way a .png file does. I
also I do not say copy and paste your element onto your canvas. In photoshop,
it is possible to drag and drop. But if you are more comfortable copying and
pasting, then by all means do what is easier for you. I also use a white
background while I’m making my tag but I delete it when I am finished.
