Floral Fantasy

This tutorial was written by me on April 6, 2010 using PSP9.  All my tutorials assume you have some knowledge of PSP.

Supplies:

Tubes of choice:  I'm using the beautiful art of Jennifer Janesko.  Do not use without a license.  You can purchase one at CILM.

Scrap kit : I'm using the beautiful PTU kit " Jin's Den" from Gothic Witch Creations.  Visit her blog to find out where to get this kit.

Font of choice

Mask of Choice : I'm using one from Vicky which you can download at Creative Misfits .  Click on Masks and scroll down to the floral masks.
