This tutorial is borne from my own manipulated lil' mind. 
Any similarity to any other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.
This tutorial was written for those who have a working 
knowledge of PSP and was written using PSP X2, 
tho' any version should work.

Supplies Needed: 
Scrapkit: I'm using my PTU kit named Bunny Express.
*This kit was updated for FTU. Here.

Tube: I'm using the beautiful artwork of Tony Tzanoukakis.
You can find more of this artwork at his store here.
Do NOT use this artwork unless you have a license to do so 
& have purchased the tube.

Template: temp189 from Tamie at Addictive Pleasures.
*The template is no longer hosted on her 4-shared account.

Filters: Xero- Radiance
Xero- Porcelain

Add any other elements, if you prefer at this time.

Now, crop/ resize your tag to your own preferences.

Then, add your proper copyrights & watermarks.

Next add your name.
Then add a gradient glow:

And a drop shadow.

Finally, delete the white background, 
merge visible, save as a PNG & enjoy.
