What you need:
PSP
Download a 30 day trial here.

Save the MD-Silver2.bmp in your pattern folder in PSP.

Save often.

Let's
get started. Good luck.....

This tag can be done in lots of colors (see examples at the bottom).
In the ZIP are most base colors. If the color you want isn't there you
can make your own by colorizing. Now decide what color you are
going to use for this tag and open a pair of legs and a shoe in that color.

Open a new image 400 X 400 and fill with black.

Layers > New raster layer.
Foreground to the color you choose for this tag.
I used #186c66 for this tutorial tag.
Fill the new layer with your pick of color.

Open the MD-WildMask.jpg.

Layers > New mask layer > From image.

Look for the MD-WildMask.jpg.

Apply.

Layers > Merge > Merge group.

Effects > Texture effects > Sculpture > Your color.
I used #0c7a71 for my tag.
Look for the silver pattern (from the ZIP)
that you saved in the PSP pattern folder.

Apply.

Background locked and foreground to your tag color.
I used: #186c66.

These settings for your base tool:
Square > Vector > Line style normal > Stroke 5,00 > Anti-alias checked.

Notice!!!! Don't use the rectangle but take the square.

Draw a square from the top left corner
to the right corner at the bottom.

Layers > Convert to raster.

Effects > Texture effects > Mosaic - glass.

Apply

If all went well you must have this now:

Open one of the leg images. I used Legs-Sea.jpg but
take the one for the color you are working with.

Copy the legs image.
You can close that image now.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Move the legs on the black.

Now open a new image 95 X 185 and fill with black.
Layers > New raster layer.
Fill the layer with your choice of color.

Open the MD-Wilde-Text.jpg.

Layers > New mask layer > From image.

Look for the MD-Wilde-Text.jpg and apply.

Layers > Merge > Merge group.

Adjust > Sharpen more.
Repeat this 2 or 3 times (that depends on your color).

Copy the text and go back to your tag.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Move the text on the top of your sculpture banner.

If you are satisfied:

Layers > Merge > Merge visible layers.

Layers > New raster layer.

Take a good look at the screenshot below.
Beneath your text you need to draw a rectangle selection.
It needs to cover about half the space you have left on the banner.
Skip the first stripe (on the left) and begin in the black just before
the second vertical strip. I have put some arrows in for you.
This way you can approximately see how much space you can use.

Fill the selection with black.

Selections > None.
 

See?? The first stripe is not covered. Make sure
the black is at the edge on the right side of the tag.
You can also use your deformation tool to get the
black box to the size it needs to be by pulling and pushing it.

Open a new image 125 X 110 and fill it with black.
Layers > New raster layer.
Fill the layer with your choice of color.

Open the MD-Wilde-Text2.jpg.

Layers > New mask layer > From image.

Look for the MD-Wilde-Text2.jpg and apply.

Layers > Merge > Merge group.

Adjust > Sharpness > Sharpen.

Move your text over the small black box.
If your box is to small you can resize
the box layer by pulling the black box down.

If all went well you must have this now:

Open the MD-Wild-Heart.psp and copy.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Place the heart below the black box.

Open one of the shoes and copy it.
I used MD-Shoe-Sea.psp for this tag.
There is also another model of high heels in the ZIP.
If you need another color you have to colorize it yourself
because if I did that in all colors the ZIP would be too large.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Place the shoe like in the screenshot below.

Effects > 3D effects > Drop shadow > Black.

You can also add your name to the tag if you like.
I have added a nice (matching) font to the ZIP for you.

Layers > Merge > Merge all layers flatten.

Your "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" Tag is done.
