You will also need this mask and gradient made by Kathyfrances.

I used Mask # 43 Here
And this gradient Here

You will need a Lion tube,
I am using one from Colourbelle

I couldn't find one So I am using this one from this scrap kit:

This is a beautiful kit!
It was perfect for what I needed for this tag!
Please go check out her kits!

Ready?

Open a new image 600x600 With a transparent background.
Grab your text tool and choose your font.
Color doesn't matter Because we are going to cover it with the gradient.
 Set the size of the font kind of big, and play with the Kerning settings.
Type MARCH
Then go objects and align in center of canvas. Then convert to raster.
Select all, float and then de-float the selection.
Add a layer and paste the gradient into selection. Select none, and then
Merge down. Now add this drop shadow twice.

Now add this inner bevel

I did the shadow again this time changing the H & V to -2 and 2.
Ok now move the word over and down a bit.

Position the lion behind the word;
and put the lamb on top of the word art.
Be sure to add appropriate copy wright.
Open your mask in PSP and minimize it.
Activate the bottom layer and select all, then paste a paper of choice into selection.
Select none, then go Layers, New mask layer, from image
Then find your image and add with these settings

Then merge group.
Now add some more elements from your kit.
Remember to add a the same drop shadow to each of the elements.
Add your name and your favorite text effects.
I only did the same drop shadow.
Position everything as you like it.
Now use a few other fonts to make your word art,
Type In like a Lion
Out like a Lamb.
Add your favorite text effects and position to your liking
Save as a PNG.

For this tutorial you will need a tube or tubes of choice,
I am using Cuddly Rigor Mortis.
You can purchase these tubes Here

I love 

Creative Design Outlet!

You will need a font of choice.

I am using Royalty Criminals size 85.

You will also need these filters:

Can't wait to see how creative you all get!

Open a new image, in PSPS,
600X300

Convert to raster layer.
Type your name again this time. B/G null and F/G set to Gradient.
Choose the Metal Steel gradient angle set to 33 And repeats at 0
Style set as linear

Again align in center of canvas.
Apply this inner bevel:

And this drop shadow

Now activate Raster layer 1 and duplicate it twice.
With raster layer active go to effects and DBS Flux

Bright noise. Apply the filter with these settings:

Apply this filter on the next colored name layer twice.
And then on the third layer,

Repeat it 3 times.
Now go effects and VM Natural: Sparkle,
And apply it one time to each layer.
Now add your tubes and elements.
If you need to increase your canvas size,

 remember to flood fill the bottom layer with white.
Add the same drop shadow to each element and tube.
And remember to apply copy wright.
When you are happy with your tag, Close off the two bottom colored name layers. Copy merge,

Go to animation shop and paste as  new animation.
Now go back to PSP and close the first colored name layer, and open the

second layer. Copy merged and take it to Animation shop and paste after

current layer.
Go back to PSP and close the eye on the middle layer
and open the eye on the last layer. Copy merged and take it to animation shop.

Choose your favorite  fat font
I am using a free font called 
Fat regular ttnorm Font

Add a mask or elements of your choice.
Make this tag your own!

Ready?
Open your animation in Animation shop. Select all, and then copy.
Open PSP and
 paste animation as multiple images.
Open a new image 700x400 and make the background white.
Promote background layer.
Grab your text tool and choose your font.
Set you foreground to a color of choice
Mine is : #1788e2
 The size of my font is 100 and my stroke is set on 4.
Play with the Kerning settings.
Mine is set on 50.
Type your name and click ok.
Position name toward the bottom of your canvas and in the center of the canvas.
Before converting to raster, go to Objects : Convert text to curves :as Character shape.

Now you can move the individual letters, if desired.

When happy, convert to raster layer.
Grab your magic wand and click inside each letter, 
expand selection X2.
Click on background layer and add a new raster layer.
Grab your flood fill tool.
On your layer palette
Change foreground to pattern and find image 1.
Fill each letter with this pattern.

Now close the eye on this layer and create a new layer.
It might help to keep track if you change the name of the layer to correspond with
the image number for the layer fills.
(See above screen shot)
So continue this until you have 12 layers of the pattern.
Select none.
Here is what my layers look like

Click on the top layer and add this inner bevel
and drop shadow.

Repeat the drop shadow again,
Changing the H & V to -2.
Now add the tube and copy wright.
And the elements of choice,
If you are using a mask, now is the time to add it.
Add the same drop shadow to each element.
If you need to resize the canvas, be sure to flood fill the background layer.
Crop the excess canvas.
When you are happy with your tag,
Copy merged. (you should still have 11 of the layers closed off.)
Then go to ani shop and paste as a new animation.
Now go back to PSP and close the eye on layer number 12,
and open layer 11. Copy merged and go back to ani shop and paste after current frame.
Repeat these steps until you have all 12 frames pasted into animation shop.
Now view animation and save.
