Licensed artist work is by Suzanne Woolcott

Plugins

Eye Candy 5 impact - Gradient glow (not a must)

Font of choise, I've used ExxPresleySH

Lets start

open a new canvas 600x600, flood fill it white.

Add your frame of choise, resize it to 90%

Add a paper below it and use the mask (remember invert transparency

on this one ;), merge group. It looked too pale so I just duplicatet it

and merged it down on the first one.

Add the wordart above it

Start adding all the elements you'd like and resize to fit,

remember to sharpen if they get too blury.

And give drop shadows here and there.

About the trees I found them too wide for the tag si I just used

the pick tool (K) on scale mode to push them a bit together.

Add proper ©

And your name of choise, I've used ExxPresleySH (same as in

the wordart) Added a heavyer gradient glow with the same

color as the wordart, just pick the color pink and green from

the giftboxes ;)

Ready to add snow?

Open the snow animation in Ani Shop

In PSP merge down the masked layer on the white background

copy it, and paste as new animation in Ani Shop 3, then hit the

paste after current button until you have 10 frames.

Go to the snow, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+C to copy.

Back to your background layer, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+E to add

the snow, place it in the middle.

Go back to PSP to pick up the rest of the tag, close the

background layer we've already used, merge visible and copy.

Back on your tag in Ani Shop hit Ctrl+E again to place the tag

onto the background.

And you're done!

Thanks for trying it out, and hope you've had fun!!

I'd love to see what you've made of this.
