"Christmas Magic"
I wrote this Tutorial on Nov. 22nd, 2010 and is my own creation using Psp9.
Any other tutorial resemblance online is purely coincidence.
You will need a good knowledge working with masks.

Artist tube of choice, Font of choice.
I am using the fabulous artwork from Keith Garvey, Here
