New Tutorial "Christmas Magic"


"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.
Frame used in this tutorial is from a PTU script so i cannot supply it.
You can purchase the Santa Frame script by Stacey's Designs Here
My PTU Scrap kit "Christmas Is Magic" Here
Wsl_Mask17, Here or mask of choice.
Artist tube of choice, Font of choice.
I am using the fabulous artwork from Keith Garvey, Here
