"Rac Berry X-Mas"This Tutorial was written by (me), on Nov. 22, 2009.
Any resemblance to another tut is purely coincidence. This tut was done in Psp 9.
But any version of Paint Shop Pro will work. You also need a good knowledge working
With masks.
You will also need the VDL Adrenaline plugin for the snowflakes.
Animation is also (Optional).
I am using the PTU "Berry X-Mas" Scrap kit from Sue of WackyWinnie Designz.
Thank You Sue for allowing me to use your kit in my Tutorial.
Wsl_Masks 81 and 64. Here Tube of Choice, Font of choice.
I am using the awesome artwork of ©Ismael Rac. You will need to purchase a license
to use his tubes. You may find his tubes. Here"

To alpha channel, click save. Now on your paper layer, go to layers, load/save mask,
From alpha channel, click on load. Right-click on the layer palette and merge group on
The mask layer. Duplicate this mask layer and on the original mask layer,
Go to adjust, blur, gaussian blur of 25%. click ok. Hide the white background, and
Merge the two mask layers visible. Unhide the white background. Pull mask out to fit canvas.
