My Kitchen Rose
This tutorial is my own creation and based on my own ideas. Any and all similarities with any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please do not upload to or offer this tutorial on any other site without asking me first. Thank you.
Material you will need:
PaintshopPro – I’m using PSP X2, but you should be able to follow the tutorial in any version.
A scrap kit – I used the stunning kit My Kitchen by Wilma 4 Ever, which you can purchase here.
1 tube of your choice – or use the one I used in the tutorial, which was createdy by me and is included in the material.
A font of your choice or the one included.
A mask –I used WSL Mask 81, created by Weescotslass, which is also included in the material. Check out her blog here for further masks.
No filters required.
You can get the material here.
Now, let’s get started. It might be helpful if you choose the elements you wish to use beforehand, and open them up in PSP prior to starting the tutorial. That way, you have them handy when following each step.
Also, you don’t have to slavishly follow each positioning nor setting – play and experiment a bit, especially if you use different elements.
If you are unsure how to position an element, refer back to my sample tag.

Now, the next step is to add any further text and your watermark to the graphic.
Use your crop tool to crop your image, and, if tag is too large for you resize to your liking.
If you prefer a transparent background, save your tag in PNG format.
Otherwise, if you select the JPG, it will automatically add a white background.
Should you care for a different colored background, after you merged all layers visible:
New layer, arrange, send to bottom, and floodfill with your color of choice.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
